  • 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.

  • johnworthy27 john worthington (@johnworthy27) reported from Preston, England

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

  • 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

    @jaco45er @NickyAACampbell @bbc5live BUT that's the issue there was never any fuel shortages, and those that hadn't had delivered were a 5 stations in the South proving again the news is southern centric focused....remind me again we're now on day 53 of no #Freeview yet bugger all talking about, no media asking why

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    (/2) ...you risk losing your Sky EPG slot, at least temporarily. Note that E4+1 is showing an off air caption on Freeview, but it's running normally on satellite. If it was the other way, there would be trouble.

  • Nolascana Mitani Hart (@Nolascana) reported

    @redial999 @MayerAgain @tvlicensing * I am aware of freeview, but frankly that service is shockingly bad in some areas, to the point where BBC itself isn't available in bad weather, which, frankly defeats the point. On a good day there's like...8 channels broadcast from tower the aerial is pointed at.

  • etmuse Erin (@etmuse) reported

    @burntcopper if your aerial is crap then I think freeview would also struggle as regular freeview is through the aerial. And you can get freeview boxes that can record.

  • PATVOne1 P.A.T.V. Scunthorpe (@PATVOne1) reported

    @FlissWolf @E4Tweets It also depends on how and where you’re watching. I understand Freeview viewers may be seeing the broken feed in certain areas, while satellite and cable are on the back up. Watching catch up content on All4 is fine, it’s just the live streams that are showing the broken feeds.

  • Shelle02 Michelle Hedley 💙 (@Shelle02) reported

    @LeeYates82 @virginmedia It is the same issue on the sky and freeview /freesat platforms. No subtitles on any of the 12 channel 4 channels and issues with BBC and Channel 5.

  • MixedRaceSpur Andrew (@MixedRaceSpur) reported

    @peter_perfect_ Oh big problem Saturday night affecting Four and Five and its sister channels. No sound, channels disappearing or static. I’ve never seen anything like it in the digital era. Freeview suffered worst.

  • planet_leesti Words of Planet Leesti (@planet_leesti) reported

    @Traceyspacey1 Odd. Tho. In the olde days when I had Freeview in the house, a) the Freeview folks were surprised I could get it at all for where i was, but b) we picked up a transmitter near Scunthorpe. I never got local radio at all, it was always Yorkshire based. So definitely consistent!

    @FreeviewTV is freeview down? No signal or channels during retune
