    @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.

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

  • 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

  • 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.

    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 !!!

  • 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.

  • BeccaLarks Rebecca Larkin (@BeccaLarks) reported

    @TeamKnowhowUK hi there, I'm having trouble with the Freeview play app on a JVC TV. It says 'unable to access the Freeview play server. Please exit and try again'. I have tried several times. The channel 100 works but not the app. All other internet catch-ups work

    BBC One SD is working on Freeview but BBC One HD isn't, the Bilsdale signal is weak and unstable. But the picture just went off. P.S. The English regional programmes won't be in HD until next year. #Bilsdale

  • cypressbill1980 Robert (@cypressbill1980) reported

    @hackerb0t Example. I was at a recycling dump and a guy was throwing away a huge LG LCD screen. I said whats up with it? he said"cant get it to tune into tv signal" He said I could take it. Plugged in my pc, ps3 & freeview terrestrial tv box using the scart/hdmi all worked. Opportunities

    @bigkite @Prof_Nostalgia @FreeviewAdvice Have you phoned the Freeview Helpline to ask further information? If you don't have internet access to check signal transmissions online your best route is to phone 03456 50 50 50. Mon - Fri, 9am to 5pm. Sadly now the soonest you can call is Monday.

    @alibi_channel Damn. Subscription only. Why not on freeview!

  • KeyworkerMan Yorkshire-man (@KeyworkerMan) reported

    @thestrayferret Bad news cos Freeview is a much sharper picture than the dark dull picture thru SKY satelite! Also there is no TFM radio in my car but Radio York is available!

  • shiftygeek Brent Addis | PCNSE (@shiftygeek) reported

    @joshoconnorchen Fun story. I once had some installers place a freeview antenna on top of vocus for an IPTV rig. They pooched something up, and took down 4G for 2 weeks in Albany. MBIE were involved with scanners trying to work out who was outputting **** on the same frequency. Fun times!

    Watched the Rangers* game when it came Freeview today. Malmo worked to stop crosses from the wings- the main route of attack. They also defended well when crosses did come in. Rangers struggled to play through the middle and their shooting was terrible. McGregor slow low right
