    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    Hi @ArgosHelpers I bought a freeview box on 21/9/22 but it's faulty 2 months on. Keeps loosing signal then the whole thing has frozen not allowing channels to be changed or even switch off. How do I claim a refund?

    @FreeviewAdvice @aj2squared @MattCainWriter We have 4 tvs. 2 running off 2 feeds and 2 running off a different feed. All feeds are from the same aerial and the 3 tvs with working Internal freeview boxes are getting zero signal, so think the problem is at or below our aerial.

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

  • Paulc2nd Paul Curry (@Paulc2nd) reported

    @JenBartram I came across an old episode of LOOK NORTH on my Freeview box the other day from 2020. I kept it because it had you doing a video diary of cutting down on waste. It was a bit like me when I vlog.

    @GreenTV123 Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • TalkTalk TalkTalk (@TalkTalk) reported

    @jackieshears2 The Freeview service is not something we have an effect on Jackie as this is not supplied by us. This service is supplied by the TV aerial coming into the property. Have you connected the TV aerial directly to the back of the TV to see if the issues are persisting?

  • PigottColin Coliwolli (@PigottColin) reported

    Yep, usual pain in the arse as soon as the weather changes! Can’t watch anything in our area! About time you lot fessed up and admitted your incapable of sending a Freeview signal to all areas?
