-

Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, EnglandThe 80m temporary mast at Bilsdale has blown down. So no @Freeview. We did tell them it gets windy up there.
-
Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England@danmooreradio @a516digital On Freeview bandwidth is an issue. But also still a fair number of SD only boxes out there.
-
Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England@BuddyGB Will watch that on IPlayer. Technical issues with Bilsdale mast means signal is not strong enough for my Freeview PVR to use its two tuners to record more than one programme at a time. Frustrating.
-
Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England@dannysavage @yorkshireladtv It's channels that are text services, teletext holidays is one, or use the Internet to show programmes that are not transmitted over the Freeview UHF network.
-
Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England@NYorksPolice This is obviously a hang over from the Bilsdale transmitter problems. As far as I am aware, Harrogate has good Freeview coverage now. If not from Bilsdale, then from one of two temporary relays set up by Arqiva.
-
Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England@scottygb Shouldn't be any shunt on Freeview either as 7 was never reallocated.
-
Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England@Jan_208 It is a minor problem that occurs once in a while when Freeview change the channel map too frequently. Part of it is broadcasters who fail to update their channel tags.
-
Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England@Stuart_Linnell @BBCOne @bbcmtd Only on Sky and Freesat. Freeview to follow, by end of April, but not down to each region. Only same as ITV. The HD multiplex cannot be fully regionslised
-
Darren Clark (@DarrenClark1971) reported from Stainton and Thornton, EnglandCan’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
-
Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England@dannysavage Not everywhere. Parts of Ripon, Thirsk and Harrogate still have very little or no signal. Freeview and Arqiva are on the case. Temporary relay being planned in next 14 days.
-
Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England@PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries BBC does NOT maintain Freeview network. That is Arqiva. BBC in partnership with other PSB broadcasters own Freeview. They, like other broadcaster pay carriage charges to Arqiva.

Jim Gardner 🇺🇦 (@Jim_Gardner_) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England@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.

Mr Mega Dump (@ChestneyS) reported@darrengrimes Nothing decided yet so I’ll wait until it actually happens before deciding to cancel my subscriptions or not. Tv companies are losing customers right left and centre due to the constant inflation plus 3.9%. I’m seriously looking at just getting a freeview box and a “fire stick “
-
LDH Marketing (@LDHMarketing) reported@BBCLookEast With landlines becoming broadband only, and Freely starting to replace Freeview we are becoming 100% dependent on broadband. That has dangerous implications for resilence if broadband goes down, or worse if you never had adequate broadband at all.
-
Popeye (@PopeyeFreeview) reported@flyfour How it you manage fix TV Warehouse+1. TV Warehouse is now on Freeview channels 85,86 There's only one Entertainment channel on the Manchester Frequency and thats Freeview channel 80 That's TV UK which is closing on Wednesday.
-
Richard (@DickyTrickle) reported@anon_opin Watched it on Freeview it's ****.
-
Kenneth Willcocks (@KennethWillcoc1) reported@TheStingisBack Last time I saw this film (Time After Time 1979) was in 1990's. Never shown on Freeview channels since then unfortunately!
-
chris🥛I’m pro-choice (@scrivo35) reported@EmmerdaleInside There is no excuse not to put football or any other sport on ITV 3 or 4 as everyone who watches TV will have digital TV ( Freeview) as the analog signal got turned off years ago and them channels are free to all ( as long as they pay the TV Tax)
-
jason_mi7 (@Mi7Jason) reported@WhichUK For live events,internet speed isn’t everything. For reliability/lowest delay, broadcast still wins: Freeview/satellite first,then cable/TV provider. Fibre streaming is great,but usually behind “live”. 5G/4G/Starlink can work well, but depend more on signal, congestion and load.

smoking the phonicvirus (@4doorsmorepaws) reported@codfish246 yuhh i think we had freesat cause of the awful freeview signal, my nan had the exact same box lol (and my grandma had the exact same telly!) upstairs we had a freeview telly and someone had to stand and wave the portable aerial around a bit to get a clear picture
-
Dave (@m1ctk) reported@cordbusters Hoping that the video resolution will be higher than the poor 544 x 576 on freeview at 720 x 576 at least
