    Looks like freeview is down across Teesside. No TV or radio signal..

  • DarrenClark1971 Darren Clark (@DarrenClark1971) reported from Stainton and Thornton, England

    Can’t believe how truly terrible EETV is. Tuning freeview channels is atrocious. Currently get 43, no BBC, ITV or any basic ones using new aerial. If it does find them they just disappear. Bedroom TV gets all the freeview ones and that’s on an old aerial in the same spot. #EETV

    @mrjamesob If the Gammon aren't careful, the only British values we'll have left will be brown sauce, calling Freeview "Normal Telly" and wrought iron silhouettes of a WW2 solider we're told to never forget, even though he died defending Europe, The Rule of Law, and Refugees.

    @RobertsonG Thank you. I am aware of that & would put it down to that, but it started happening on the odd occasion even months ago. Strange 🤔. I retuned my freeview box to see how that goes & chose South East instead of South / Southampton, just in case.

    @FreeviewAdvice might be a stupid question but how do I know if I can get Freeview on my TV? I have a Sony 2021 Google tv. Does it require an Aerial or scan via internet? Doesn't seem to be an app available. 🤦🏻🤔 I have sky but no Aerial to connect.

  • youlum Uilleam 🏉 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇦🇺 (@youlum) reported

    @martinetruelove Same as I use Virgin. I’m assuming of you disconnect from the internet and just use the aerial you would get the standard Freeview service but not be able to access any of the apps in the telly.

    @mashcore4mums @a516digital Not sure if the small delay on BBC 1 vs News is intentionally added, or related to the feed passing through regional centres? Freeview SD pictures are poor even on "high" bitrate channels though. "Dreadful" was my initial reaction when I 1st saw DVB in 1999- this hasn't changed.

    @GabrielVanca @EmergMedDr @PeterTatchell Freeview. Netflix. iPlayer. Plenty of alternatives available to those who don't want someone's way of life shoved down their throats

  • langtoftlad langtoftlad (@langtoftlad) reported

    @SimonMcCoyTV I do think there's been an awful lot of filler but it's not as if the BBC doesn't have three other channels, and there must be 50+ other freeview channels if one cannot tolerate the blanket coverage of the passing of a monarch who has reigned 70 years.

  • TangeMusic TangeMusic (@TangeMusic) reported

    @VonBarronshire @petercrouch Because there isn't enough capacity to have more HD channels than there already are on Freeview transmitters, unless all the SD channels were shut down, and they can't do that yet as too many people still watch them.

  • BMacfhearghuis Brian MacF (@BMacfhearghuis) reported

    @Smicht @JamesAmcvean Were they going to shoot down the Astra satellite broadcasting freeview out of spite?

  • TomDavi8165081 Tom1871 (@TomDavi8165081) reported

    Is anyone else having problems recording off of freeview? Things keep failing from the HD channels such as BBC One & ITV. I don't record off the HD channels, just the normal ones. I don't know why it keeps doing this. I retuned my freeview box to see if that helps.

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    @EvanD @Psythor @JamesCridland Shopping channels also have the issue that it might be seen as inappropriate to continue broadcasting. Of interest in regards statmuxing is that a number of Sky satellite channels also reverted to static captions, including Pick. On Freeview, Pick showed the Funeral. Here, the...
