    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!

  • brianwinteruk 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

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

  • Jim_Gardner_ 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.

  • 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

    @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.

  • brianwinteruk 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.

  • Joe__Monty Joe (@Joe__Monty) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

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

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

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

  • 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.

  • DarrenClark1971 Darren Clark (@DarrenClark1971) reported from Stainton and Thornton, England

    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

    @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.

  • esspeearr Hotel Bastardos, San Domingo 🇺🇦 (@esspeearr) reported

    @braambles We have freeview and an elderly 1998 vintage audi. You're talking rubbish. I bet you still support the tories.

  • HurstLlama Hurst Llama (@HurstLlama) reported

    @bedford_colleen I think our TV is 40 something inches, had it a good few years but I've never watched it. Herself, who does watch TV, dumped Sky years ago - not worth the money she said; now uses something called Freeview (?).

  • StuartsVoices Stuart (@StuartsVoices) reported

    @jinxyjane1960 @BBCNews Incredibly naïve comment. I realise not everyone will see tough times, but this is going to cause all kinds of problems. Even me on my £8 mobile contract and Freeview. I don't see it as unpopular, I see it as something that has no idea what many will face.

  • joonloons june lewins (@joonloons) reported

    @basestacking Check Freeview for the terrestrial channels in your area, and retune a couple of times to see if you get more stations. I use a Humax and smart tv so I can record TV programmes, but you should be able to just plug it into your tv. I find non-HD progs get a better signal.

  • MapleFiltered Gruffalo Trace ❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❤️ (@MapleFiltered) reported

    @4Viewers evening, are you having issues with All4 on Freeview play? Not appearing at all on the catch-up services list or the apps page. Working ok last night, nothing changed with TV

  • IanTurnberry IanC 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌈 (@IanTurnberry) reported

    I'm going to treat myself to a big bar of chocolate today. Apart from being a clever little boy FINALLY setting up my new TV and Freeview Recorder and Google Laptop I also had good news on my diabetes, still OK and my blood pressure, normal. Umm maybe chocolate isn't a good idea

  • EmmaLovelace Emma Lovelace (@EmmaLovelace) reported

    Freeview is a bit crap at times, no BBC channels at the moment.

  • djbwells Darren Wells (@djbwells) reported

    @SimonJeremyMil1 @ThatsTVOfficial Same down in the South of Uk. We watch on satellite but would be handy to get it on freeview

  • SLH68141003 Noname (@SLH68141003) reported

    @Ingear @LucyMPowell You can on freeview. Which old and poor people like me have. Hands off C4!🤬🤬😡

  • RudolphUcker 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚒𝚝 𝚖𝚞𝚎𝚜𝚕𝚒  (@RudolphUcker) reported

    I was looking forward to W coming to Freeview as I used to enjoy it occasionally when I had it with my sky package. Then I realised it now shows pretty much the same crap as the channel it usurped from the Freeview epg. What a crock of ****.
