    @FreeviewAdvice is Freeview down in Halton ?

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

  • bh_bryn Bryn (@bh_bryn) reported from Roby, England

    WiFi is down, only got Freeview TV. It's like living in 2011. Barbaric. Thank God there's football on ITV.

    I don't have an ariel or freeview I rely on your piece of shit @virginmedia #VirginMedia

  • RichardGB76 Richard G. Bartholomew (@RichardGB76) reported

    I am going to treat this Chinese takeaway just like I treated the ten minute freeview on TV X and The Adult Channel when I was a teenager: plan to drag it out for as long as possible, but I know I'll be finished in under two minutes! #TheOneShow #EURO2022

  • Kster91 Karl 🐢 (@Kster91) reported

    back to back episodes of Pokémon are on Pop TV (no, I've never heard of it either) Freeview 206 🤓

  • FramptonRoz Roz Frampton (@FramptonRoz) reported

    @FreeviewTV @NadineDorries @BBC 29/7/22 07.40hrs Freeview outages for TV & some total blackout throughout most of the UK - again!

  • shortflyslip Andrew (@shortflyslip) reported

    @robert_t_bruce I guess the real issue is that there doesn't appear to be a decent like-for-like replacement for VodafoneTV. Some options include the Freeview streaming app, but that is hugely undermined because it will be shutting down later in the year.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @FramptonRoz @FreeviewTV Hi Roz, Deepest apologies for the delay in responding. I am so very sorry you are experiencing issue with your Freeview reception. Can you please DM Freeview Advice along with your full postcode and house name/number and we will look in to this for you. Thank you, Melissa

  • FramptonRoz Roz Frampton (@FramptonRoz) reported

    @FreeviewTV People shouldn't waste their money. Freeview ourages have been horrendous recently. You note a few most reports but don't list all the areas affected, which include most of the country. No access to TV at all is most recorded complaint but many have total blackout. Make it work!

  • Poocramps Poocramps McGinty 🏳️‍🌈♥️🧡💛💚💙💜🇺🇦 (@Poocramps) reported

    @MiserygutsPetty @SEAMONKEYOO7 @RyanJackMum Oh, I just realised- Freeview, not Freesat! My bad! Yeah, that'll be why the channels are different!

  • DaveLGilmore David Gilmore (@DaveLGilmore) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Please make an Xbox app for encore. It would compete me (terrible freeview reception means I can’t get the broadcast channel)

  • Mathe_Musician MatheMusician (@Mathe_Musician) reported

    @SorrelMayWood We take up the offer of 30 days free from time to time. Nice while it lasts, but as we usually joke that the Amazon order will arrive at least 3 days before it says it will, it never seems worth paying. (We wouldn't use the other features - way too much to watch on freeview.)

  • djones1509 Derek Jones (@djones1509) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Can I ask if you are experiencing any technical issues, as no signal is being received on all Freeview channels? Many thanks!
