    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

  • iainsykes2014 Iain Sykes (@iainsykes2014) reported from Blackburn, England

    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

    @joshoconnorchen Fun story. I once had some installers place a freeview antenna on top of vocus for an IPTV rig. They pooched something up, and took down 4G for 2 weeks in Albany. MBIE were involved with scanners trying to work out who was outputting **** on the same frequency. Fun times!

    Still the ******* transmitter is down #Freeview is ****, imagine only having one aerial on top of a wind swept Moor, I mean what could possibly go wrong🤔

  • geeemac George M (@geeemac) reported

    @PhilipsCare_UK had great customer service from you guys in the past, but the problem constantly comes back. ‘Playback failed’ on iplayer, 4od.. all freeview channels, to the point where I can’t use my tv as a tv. And yes, have reset everything, it’s the latest software, etc etc

    Interesting, I signed up to a forum account on Digitalspy forums and had to wait for an admin to authorise it, but the account ended up being deleted 24 hours later. All I wanted to do was make a thread to query about a freeview transmitter issue. Incompetent mods. .@digitalspy

    @FreeviewAdvice My sister is severely affected, she has absolutely no signal at all, not everyone has freeview play etc, can you not devert signel to other masts?

  • Alan_Dawson1971 The Plazzy Scouser (@Alan_Dawson1971) reported

    Over 3 hrs I've spent trying to figure out why the Freeview side of my BT box lost all the channels with no signal. Stripped wires removed plugs...checked other TVs ...only to finally find out the local transmitter is on 🔥.. not happy.....bedtime.....😠😠

  • Mdreadedtwit The Dreaded Fox (@Mdreadedtwit) reported

    Bad news: Bilsdale transmitter down due to fire meaning 1 million homes will not get freeview TV services... Good news: This means they will miss 'Love Island'...Every cloud etc; #wednesdaythought #Bilsdale

  • ExCopper2702 Jim (@ExCopper2702) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi! Still no freeview tv signal in my area of Teesside. Any idea when it’ll be back??

  • Teuchter86 Kevin Morrison (@Teuchter86) reported

    @FloydTweet Doesn't your TV have Freeview built in? Thought they all came like that now, plus check your "sources" on the tv as that may be an issue
