  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Werrington, England

    Warning, stupid question incoming, does a Freeview tele just simply plug into an old skool aerial?? My mum wants a new TV but doesn’t have cable. I’m assuming so? I’ve had cable since the early 90s so haven’t had to faff on with aerials for 30 odd years !!!

    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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • MikeRuddick Mike Ruddick (@MikeRuddick) reported

    @itv please fix the glitch that’s making our picture jump. Happening across all Sky channels, normal freeview, but not on freeview HD. Also goes away during ad breaks

  • chalmers_noel Noel Chalmers (@chalmers_noel) reported

    @AgentDowling 5G tower in the vicinity? I had trouble a while back and the freeview helpline told me this is definitely a factor, confirmed there was one near me, but wouldn’t say where.

  • joyembra Joy Embradura (@joyembra) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi! I bought a new jvc TV and tuned my freeview but there are no channels before 12. It says scanning complete. I have another tv in another room and my freeview channels start from 1. Hope you can help. Thanks!

    @a516digital I can stream most of the freeview channels no problem on sky puck. Or watch on sky + or sky Q or freesat.
