    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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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 !!!

    @loodofsquit There is enough **** on Freeview without paying Sky for extra **** 💩

  • JayDeeDaz Darren Stather (@JayDeeDaz) reported

    Been a year since CC w/ Google TV was released, still no All4 app. G TV sets are being released with catchup apps from Freeview Play rather than Play Store - and still not yet installed (TBC!). Awful UX. Same story with old Nexus Player. Amazon and Apple are now tempting. Shame.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Dreadful picture quality for More 4 Freeview viewers in North East England, still off air in other regions. While for others, everything is working fine. Why? That particular part of the Freeview service is regionalised and there are multiplexing issues in some areas.

    Is it just me, or is Channel 4, E4 and Film 4 not working on Freeview right now? I've got a frozen image on each channel! 😯

    @SkyHelpTeam @emmah80 Mine is also doing this, when will this be resolved by? Freeview is actually a better service at the moment

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @sminkypinky76 @The_X_Stitcher Hi, You could try and manually tune into one transmitter to avoid this issue. It would be dependent upon how your aerial is aligned. We would be happy to help. Please DM Freeview Advice your postcode, house name and number. Melissa
