    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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 !!!

    @paulbristow79 @GBNEWS Do a Retune of your Freeview which should fix that problem , Freeview 236 GB News

  • torymcclory Tori (@torymcclory) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi we've got no signal and very few channels that work on our Freeview TV. We've retuned it lots of times and each time we get fewer channels. Now the TV channels don't work at all. We are in the SO area if that helps

  • xoelizabeth26 Elizabeth Hague (@xoelizabeth26) reported

    @shabfelou @FreeNorthNow @itvhub 4 on demand is very bad tho... especially next to bbc and freeview

  • joeylk71 Joanne Gray (@joeylk71) reported

    @dramachannel It'd be more entertaining if Freeview would provide the channel with a decent signal!😠

  • MrsMummypennyUK Lynn Beattie (@MrsMummypennyUK) reported

    @IainJGeddes @RyanGosling @AliPlumb Ooohh yes def time to re-watch. It was on a random freeview channel a few nights ago, I got my fix.

  • debbiie1202 Debbie Lutman (@debbiie1202) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice no Freeview signal at all since lightning strike on nearby house Monday 28/6/21 at 2115 hrs RH20 1JQ any advice welcome. Retune does nothing to help.

  • jeffbartrop Jeff Bartrop (@jeffbartrop) reported

    @blogmywiki Absolutely, and has the least delay! Still, anyone who happens to be a Sky or Virgin subscriber also has another option to get ITV. Or I can recommend setting up a Plex server with a network Freeview tuner- a DIY PVR / streaming service.

  • Bill_Hogarth William Hogarth (@Bill_Hogarth) reported

    @gbnews Have you lowered the bit rate on your Freeview channel? It's stuttering and the lighting is also very poor. What on earth is going on? It's worse than a Skype call.
