    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • thelobsterboy Paul Smith (@thelobsterboy) reported from Manchester, England

    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

  • PCottam13 PatCottam13 Ex-Labour🟨🟥 #FreePalestine #BDS (@PCottam13) reported

    @WarwickHunt4 @cool_grandad UK tv went down the pan with the launch of satellite and cable tv. Even Freeview is the same. Many channels rolling over the same programmes twice a day, some even three times. Now consider tv the same as radio, just noise in the background.

  • Michael80789776 Michael CLARK (@Michael80789776) reported

    @ShiregreenOwl @teresadg0 The online services are definitely a big contributor, I agree. But a dedicated 24 hr news service on Freeview is far more accessible for many, and that will have an impact

  • Jack_Jack_101 JackJack 3.141 🥧 (@Jack_Jack_101) reported

    @SkyUK 😱 how much? I hope that includes more than the basic sky channels. Been a while since I last checked prices had no idea they increased so much. Looks like us poor people will have to make do with just old fashioned #freeview life of a pleb I'm afraid 😔

    @KimWebb44671708 @PJDarran200 @ivorsawbottom Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • veryoldbilly Bill Swan (@veryoldbilly) reported

    @BBCMonitoring @Ofcom @Freeview To whom can one report TV reception problems? Freeview and Ofcom direct to the BBC’s site, which requires 15 minute completion of details before announcing that ‘there was a problem - please try again’. Repeatedly. No TV reception for 3 days

    Watch this video to find out why 4G may cause Freeview interference, and what we can do to help.

  • StuartMMeikle Stuart Meikle (@StuartMMeikle) reported

    @vickihird When is it available on Freeview? If he knows diddly squat about food production and farming, well he will just be another in a long list of people who have decided that they can tell us slow-on-the-uptake agriculturalists how to do it.

  • iannock Ian Nock (@iannock) reported

    @matthewcarter7 Freeview Play 4K TVs ... they have good support. TiVo v6 did at WC but have not confirmed this time around. Still need to check my SkyQ, but Android TV devices almost universally don't...

  • don_mac D Mac (@don_mac) reported

    @Danny_McMoomins Its going to be able on Freeview 643 or something even after the **** grot channels. The daytime TV Gammon's will never reach it too many world war 2 docs, reruns of lovejoy and homes under the hammer to skip through first.

  • GlobalClarity1 South East Sean (@GlobalClarity1) reported

    @FreeviewTV Why can’t Crystal Palace tower reach DA17? Ariel engineer put my aerial to Woolwich because of CP tower not providing a decent service. Yet your website says we should receive perfect Freeview. I am currently only getting clear picture & sound on 8 of 148 channels
