@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

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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

One of my 5 year predictions: YouTube (free version) will subtly increase the duration of adverts and their frequency just like freeview tv has done over the years. I never watch normal tv but anytime it's on at a friends house or somewhere the amount of adverts is insane

@TalkTalk my elderly mother is having issues with her TalkTalk freeview box which she has had for approximately 5 years. How do we get it replaced for a newer version? Please help as she relies on tv. Symptoms are when changing the channel screen goes blank and box needs a reboot

Freeview is having regular issues with interference on BBC channels where the picture breaks up, meaning the TV needs regular retuning. Why is there this issue? @FreeviewAdvice @bbcpress @Ofcom

@Faka_of_west219 Life was better when it was just on sky sports and social media. It was so fun mate. You got home or wake up and stick on sky sports news as it was free on the freeview box. It was great time. Now it’s ****
