    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

    @bt_uk I got a problem it's not my fault and it's not BT issue I lost a lot of Freeview channels in my flat I went to no cancel and said you can have a dish because aerials are very bad in your area where you live we've had a lot of people coming to us about the same problem

  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

  • niklasRen Nik Rahmel (@niklasRen) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @Stephen_Neal Good shout! If we just take the Freeview/Freesat ones, we get to ten, excluding the National ones: 1) BBC One 2) BBC Two 3) BBC Four 4) CBBC 5) CBeebies 6) BBC News 7) BBC Parliament 8) Dave 9) Drama 10) Yesterday But they aren’t licence fee funded, so don’t help the argument.

  • Beige29 DarkBeige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    Now I have the truly truly shit @EE freeview package (literally the worst selection of channels on earth but boy is it cheap broadband) I only watch the main 5 channels or SVOD. W, Dave, ITV2 etc are dead to me

  • Scare158Steve Scarebear (@Scare158Steve) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @bt_uk Thanks for the help. I spoke to freeview, tried a few things which didn't work but i contacted your TV help and after doing a few basic things somehow it appears to be working now! Very Strange. Tks

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported from Camberwell, England

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on Freeview.

  • budgie Lee 'Budgie' Barnett (@budgie) reported from Richmond, England

    @DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

  • fishinthedark1 fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @sgordon_the87 The first set top box we had was a generic DTT box, Freeview launched a few months later, Although the ntl Digital text service featuring subscription channel listings for ITV Digital remained for a good while after Freeview launched, with daily updates.

  • tarasis Robert McGovern (@tarasis) reported

    @delilahdirk @jonrog1 I support when I can, and bypass / pirate when there are unknown / ridiculous delays for something to get the the UK for watching / Europe (BUT I will still watch when it does come to Europe so it gets the views - be it Disney, Paramount+, Amazon Freeview, or whoever)

  • JohnGlazebrook7 John Glazebrook (@JohnGlazebrook7) reported

    @itvhubhelp @itvhub First download via Manhatten freeview ITV HUB. experienced buffering then connection losses. Report was ITV Hub at fault. Switched to Smart LG TV ITV HUB app. Better connection but buffering issues. Not happy to have to start watching again and sit through axshed load of ads.

  • ROfiron Anti-Growth Coalition (@ROfiron) reported

    @dave43law @thecoastguy Freeview Jesus being one of the worst

  • andyhotspur14 Andy THFC (@andyhotspur14) reported

    @MichaelBensonn Not a single boxing fan in the world would want to see this fight, especially as most people have never even heard of Charr. This would have to be shown on freeview to get people watching

  • actiontiff John F Austin GCE "Eng Lang. 0 level" A* (@actiontiff) reported from Penrhyn Bay, Wales

    @Ultragrumpy No, 'fraid not UG I watch little else but Smithsonian or PBS on Freeview Box sets of old comedy series & Youtube Play the odd game of Croquet though ---if that's any help

  • artman146 David Carvell (@artman146) reported

    @PeteEva06681310 @Matthew78840327 If you watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat), you need to be covered by a TV Licence. If you watch live streaming services (e.g. ITV Hub, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Sky Go), or use BBC iPlayer*, you need a TV Licence.

  • KingJimmeh ~Jimmeh~ (@KingJimmeh) reported

    @jonrog1 @Blankzilla It was never the content, or really the ads that were the issue. It was the tech behind it. I don't know about cable boxes in the US, but set-top boxes for Sky and Freeview and most built-in TV guides and systems for getting to content were slow and awful.

  • simonhardwick Simon Hardwick (@simonhardwick) reported

    Main transmitters (FM/DAB/freeview) etc will most likely have backups but I remember in the big storm of 1987 that wasn’t a huge help, only one AM station (BBC local) managed to remain on air. Worth having some batteries for your radio next to your torch. /7
