    @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

    Old Panasonic Freeview PVR no good for new ITV player and it had fault:, watch catch-up progs and it would occasionally freeze for 0.5secs. Bought a new Manhattan and it's just as crap - goes slow-mo for 2secs at random times. Why is everything such junk? @FreeviewTV

  • den66621408 den (@den66621408) reported

    @GBNEWS GBN On freeview keeps freezing is anyone else having problems. Talk TV and all other channels working fine.

    @extravelservice @SkyUK It’s a sky streaming only service Locked into Sky better off getting a smartTV . Look at BT TV £6 a month for Sky entertainment Netflix and freeview. And record 600 hours all without an aerial or dish.

    @FreeviewAdvice why does the Freeview guide on my Panasonic tv show me channels I cannot get as there is no signal

  • Kimmieprice19 K I M B E R L Y 🇺🇦💙💛🌻 She/Her (@Kimmieprice19) reported

    @Farmer_Mooo @Depheruk I don’t have a house phone, seeing as I’m hardly home I felt it an unnecessary bill, seeing as freeview channels are awful for children’s programs, forgive me for having Netflix and Disney+ (which is a lot cheaper than sky or virgin May I add!) what a small minded opinion u have!

    @daryl_millar Hi, Daryl. Sorry to hear that you're having problems with Freeview. If you're still having issues, DM us your postcode along with the house number or name so we can check for any issues in the area and advise from there. Fraser

  • mickey_omeara Mickey O'Meara (@mickey_omeara) reported

    @robin_parkes oh yeah I bet that was annoying, we've never had that problem here on all the tvs and boxes you get to pick what channels go at which numbers. Before ITV HD was at 3 it had adverts for kent and the wrong local news which is why they couldn't put it at 3. Still happens on Freeview

  • Ike_Laudius Ike_Laudius (@Ike_Laudius) reported

    @FreeviewTV Help, please! Subtitles are not recording on my Freeview recorder for ITV3 and 4. All others seem okay, so my machine settings are okay.
