    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.

    @danmooreradio @a516digital On Freeview bandwidth is an issue. But also still a fair number of SD only boxes out there.

  • brianwinteruk
    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

    @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.

  • brianwinteruk
    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.

    What a really cheeky naughty way 2get numbers onto this @ITVX putting top flight footy onto either itv4,which doesnt have HD on normal freeview never mind UHD or ITVx which we can't record & haV 2 sit & put up with all the adverts which make U a fortune yet no investment into 4k!

    @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.

    @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.

  • brianwinteruk
    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

  • brianwinteruk
    Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    The 80m temporary mast at Bilsdale has blown down. So no @Freeview. We did tell them it gets windy up there.

  • brianwinteruk
    Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @scottygb Shouldn't be any shunt on Freeview either as 7 was never reallocated.

    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

  • brianwinteruk
    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.

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

    @JAMESRW1981 @SeddSezz I don't have any streaming services apart from Freeview play, all my lights are LED, I don't heat my house unless it's bitterly cold, I don't smoke, never have. I like a couple of beers after working 9-12 hrs a day. Hardly ever get takeaways or take the Mrs out for a meal.

    @SkyUK why is there no subtitles on Sky Mix on Freeview at moment during Star Trek: Voyager episode. Your IT guys sleeping on the job or awake and trying to fix it? #startrekvoyager #skymix #Freeview

    @roland26750 @silverfoxdude @FunMovieTVFan It's on Peacock in the U.S. and on Netflix in several international territories. It was originally available on the Audience Network (formerly Freeview) before the service shut down in May, 2020.

    @vickimichelle @martywilde3 Hi Vicky I would like you to save are Freeview TV and to stop the TV license go up 180 to help us

  • Lordy_Lewis
    Lord Lewis (@Lordy_Lewis) reported

    @Argos_Online Help, we bought a @HisenseUK TV completely miss-sold. While technically there is no 'fault', this TV does not work as described. You need an internet connection for their rip-off version of freeview. it doesn't say that in the description.

    I know we've got a bad storm here etc. But I can't understand why the superfast broadband won't work or stream movies, but the digital freeview aerial works.

    @kenton1206 @fergiesreds Ditto… 16 yrs I’ve been with them.. £9 increase last April.. £7 this April incoming.. Trying to soften deluded customers with the *free* Disney + and Max worth £10 a month no one will watch! **** Sky tv I’m back to terrestrial tv with freeview saving £750 per year!

    @InfiniRunner @thesimpsonRFC Football commentary is never online, as it says, due to licensing restrictions. Only radio or freeview for free, or paid something's through the clubs follow/in house media.
