  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @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.

  • JoyAnneGarner Joy Garner (@JoyAnneGarner) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    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.

  • kirstxxiv kirstylouise (@kirstxxiv) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    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.

    @ITV can you ask freeview if I can have a tv signal? I’ve asked Santa

  • tashatam14 tashatam (@tashatam14) reported

    @ConsPost @DrSpock_PhD Meanwhile those of us living in older (and new) rural properties have broadband little faster than dial-up and no prospect of anything better as Openreach are too busy servicing newbuild estates. See also poor water pressure, many power cuts, lack of mobile signal, no freeview

  • pauldalrymple Paul Dalrymple 💙 (@pauldalrymple) reported

    @aboveeg By ghosting you mean that shadowy effect there used to be on the old analogue signals years ago? Digital signal seems different ... just breaks up / buffers/ whatever they call it. Its so bad this evening have nothing watchable. We're not on Sky, just Freeview: nothing working.

    @Frugal_ways @FreeviewTV Hi Deano, I am so very sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. Please DM your postcode and house name number and we will look into this for you.

  • Donnajoycey Donna Oyjec (@Donnajoycey) reported

    @FreeviewTV so it’s down yet again. It’s 2021, can we really not have a signal when the air pressure is high? Try dealing with someone with Dementia who can’t use iPlayer etc. I’m bloody fuming. We didn’t have this problem with analogue TV. It’s a **** show. #freeview

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @chasnbons @FreeviewTV Hi Phil, I am so very sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. High pressure has been present for a few days and hopefully will move on soon. If you have retuned, you will have to retune again once the weather changes. Thank you, Melissa

  • HamlettGordon Gordon Hamlett (@HamlettGordon) reported

    @TMitC @WeedonsWorld Can't get any TV programmes at all due to Freeview outage in Norfolk. Doesn't appear to be on iPlayer either. Only regular series.

  • TheGrumpyBitch Remaining Grumpy 💙🇪🇺🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🌹YNWA (@TheGrumpyBitch) reported

    @bt_uk I don’t know, I so rarely watch live tv, but it’s Xmas, I have retuned cos freeview reception is so bad, I now have 41 tv aerial channels, all rubbish reception, 141 subscription channels,most I don’t recognise. Four news channels. No HD channels WTF am I paying for?

    @Stephen47763256 @bachelorettem There is a Freeview helpline if problems persist Stephen. 03456 505050

    @jodimullen I suppose it would be a frankly huge pain in the *** to replace all those ordinary Freeview boxes/in-builds to re-standardise new codecs and data delivery to increase resolution/quality. MPEG-2 really is showing its age on some of these data-starved channels.
