  • 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.

  • DavidSwindells1 David Swindells (@DavidSwindells1) reported from Macclesfield, England

    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

  • 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.

    @Discovery Don't know if you can help but i'm in the UK & all of a sudden cannot get any of your channels on freeview. Quest, Food Network etc. It just says channel no longer exists. Tried updating channels, scanning for channels etc to no avail. Can you advise?

  • arcapelian 𝘼𝙍𝘾𝘼𝙋𝙀𝙇𝙄𝘼𝙉  (@arcapelian) reported

    @hotukdeals I have one of their Freeview boxes. It is the buggiest piece of **** I have ever encountered. #Oakcastle

  • artsngrafts Megz ✨ (@artsngrafts) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks Claire. We keep losing freeview channels or they go fuzzy. We were told to buy something to help with the signal but we don’t want to pay for something else on top of the bill. I’ve retuned, fixed factory settings etc. I’ve always been a loyal customer but had enough tbh.

  • Gargarin BLTP (@Gargarin) reported

    The show biz news in place of actual news on Freeview channels is a nonsense, can't believe regulators really think it meets anyone's public service quota

  • purple_dragon25 kelly * double jabbed * (@purple_dragon25) reported

    Typical. Freeview down, so I can't get any TV whatsoever. Just HAD to be right before The Joy Of Painting which is the highlight of my day. Proper cheesed me off, that.

  • artefactual_KW Katy Whitaker (she/her) (@artefactual_KW) reported

    Pretty terrible bit of Sherlockiana on freeview 68 just now @LadyLiminal1 !

  • goski1 Earthling (@goski1) reported

    @NoContextBrits Im old but have never had Sky. Only freeview

  • NotToryScum Not a Tory (@NotToryScum) reported

    And it think it’s terrible that the other home nations can watch their team on Freeview, yet if the Scots want to see one of the best Scottish teams ever, they have to fork out for a sky sports subscription. Sort this out and get the games on the BBC or STV @ScottishFA

  • MattyMcManus95 Matthew McManus (@MattyMcManus95) reported

    @bt_uk getting little to no signal on many channels on bt tv I’m currently on my 2nd tv box. It’s not my Aerial as I’m getting freeview on my tv just fine when I plug it in. Any solution?? My 1st box began to do this 3 months in and I was told the box was faulty now same issue

  • Lutzoid Stephen Farrell (@Lutzoid) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice quick question folks. Just bought a new TV and the Freeview Play app is installed. I honestly don't know if this is an on demand service or a live broadcast service (or both?) I have no TV aerial, nor TV licence as I haven't watched live broadcast TV for years.
