    Ok, Peanut Gallery, what is a decent news/current events show available on Freeview that I can watch for 15 minutes in the morning before work with my cereal? I can't do Piers Morgan, and BBC Breakfast IS pretty poor, I'll admit.

    @TalkingPicsTV @grannypatt It's not you, it's living in certain areas watching Freeview is a lottery. With me it's also the BBC channels that come up no signal due to certain atmospheric conditions? Who knows? Last year a TV engineer came & adjusted the communal aerial on the roof. Briefly helped now not😔

    @WalkingRichard Trying to get my GenX friend to watch more TV. There is LOADS on Freeview channels you cannot get streaming. Streaming catalogues are horrifically narrow And watching something on a whim when you come across it also expands your exposure to stuff you'd never select on a streamer

  • NatJSummers Nat J Summers (@NatJSummers) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Our freeview reception has all@of a sudden started playing up this afternoon (around 4pm), it’s all channels, doesn’t seem to be an issue internally and we don’t have strong weather conditions etc… our postcode is BS20. Is there a general issue?

  • AberJohnny John Malcolm McMenemy (@AberJohnny) reported

    @Tom___Scott @gavmacn Never watched it and have it deleted off my Freeview channel list so can't.

  • Nick_Payne Nick Payne (@Nick_Payne) reported

  • GYPTXVN brown boy 🤎𓂀 (@GYPTXVN) reported

  • Jack_Nelligan Jack Nelligan 🇮🇪 🎅🏻🎄 (@Jack_Nelligan) reported

    Film 4, channel 4 E4 and More4 as well as the plus 1 channels are not showing any program information on the Freeview box. Will this problem be fixed?.

  • AnthonyEC1 Anthony Davis (@AnthonyEC1) reported

    @DJack_Journo It wasn't just action & adventure films made during the 1950s & '60s that were set during the second world war, but countless comedies too. Dora Bryan & Irene Handl were in many of them as canteen tea ladies or similar. I believe they're still shown on Freeview. Awful tripe.
