@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.

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

@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

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

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

@ExmoorOn Never thought to ask to be honest. Luckily I can get Radio Northampton on Freeview so at least I can listen in.

@its_milaB @Suzyiam I can recommend this. Got rid of vodafone tv and replaced it with Smart VU. Connects via wifi to your network, simple to set up and simple to use. Retails for less than $120. Has all the streaming apps and a great freeview app.

@BootstrapCook I did this for my mum after she had a falling out with all the cable/phone companies. Had to get a booster areal but got all the freeview channels and just went weird and pixelated in very bad weather!

If betting on the #WorldSnookerChampionship be aware that Freeview is several seconds faster than satellite with on line in a poor third place. Best place to bet the foyer of The Crucible or even in the auditorium! #snooker

@Suzyiam If you have a modern-ish ‘Freeview’ aerial on your roof then you can get NZ’s free to air Freeview service. 26 TV channels and 2 radio stations (other parts of NZ it may vary, that’s here in Kāpiti). I have a 6yr old TV which gets Freeview fine, plus I use Netflix & Disney apps

@virginmedia is there a way to negotiate a new contract without being on the phone for 2 hours+? Raising my bill from £45 to £66 automatically when the contract ends is absolutely disgusting for what I receive. Internet that goes down and paying for the same channels as freeview?

@BootstrapCook I have a traditional aerial in the loft which runs down to a socket in the lounge, which works for Freeview. Upstairs I have an electrical aerial amplifier for the same.

@theipaper we had to pay for cable to watch bbc etc as not in a freeview signal area..so paid double. got fed up with them being tory mouthpiece and platform for farage etc. Then we kept the licence just to watch PMQs between torys n corbyns labour as we stopped our cable tv. After the
