    Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

    Anyone else having issues with Freeview etc today? ST6 area ?

  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

    @glastonbury @BBCTwo Or better yet, flick to channel 898 on Freeview, has a classic episode of Paint Drying... doesn't feature any **** music or drugged up hippies.

  • AoOldaker Adam Oldaker (@AoOldaker) reported

    @Andy_Gez_ Trying to but I have to go online to get it. I shouldn't read too much into it I'm sure it's just a coincidence Freeview in my area can't get it. But at a time it needs to improve hearing the rumours of Andrew Neil leaving is the worst news. Also I think I prefer talk radio tv.

  • teweybear Sharon Tew (@teweybear) reported

    Any tv tech savvy bids on here? Parents tv is badly pixelating channels through digi-box but fine through Freeview. Replaced box and leads and tried a signal blocking filter with no success. Any ideas? #bt #techsupport

  • AmyTeamLH Amy-Stream Eternal Love! (@AmyTeamLH) reported

    Of course the high pressure around the UK currently would be playing up with our TV signal. Honestly 😑 #Freeview

    @erawneb @IanDunt I watch Netflix, Amazon, Youtube and aubscribe to some quality US on line news sources (mostly financial) (And I cut my sat dish cable also..) Freeview - yeah thats a problem..!

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @TherealNihal Think that's bad, tommorow will be 28 days since Teesside lost it's Freeview transmitter. So no sky, no TV. Weirdly got DAB but no FM apart from local radio. It's like being in the Stone age. One positive, mood change is weird, no stress better sleep, easier to get to sleep too.

  • Phoebslyle Phoebs Lyle (Breathe On UK) (@Phoebslyle) reported

    Anyone in NI who has Freeview having problems seeing Ghosts on BBC1 TV guide?

  • A5h1984 Ashley Dunscombe-Isaac (@A5h1984) reported

    I have tried clearing the internet memory in the hope it gives the apps a kick but no joy. I don't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling the TV as I have Freeview satellite channels installed with lots of favourites marked. Is there anything else I can do to fix this

  • fifasalty 💙Chris💙salt💙 (@fifasalty) reported

    @RealMickFoley i think one problem is the lack of hardcore matches and an hardcore championship. when you look back all the matches i remember they are covered in blood and death defying stunts. not sure why this is not happening now but again creative writing then aew shown on freeview in uk
