    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • collegeflunky Sean Vickers (@collegeflunky) reported from Radcliffe, England

    @Ossyref I know but it’s not on Freeview. Not everyone has YouTube for TV or ability to watch on app. We ok as have Virgin but it’s still crap they ain’t showing it for others.

  • IanOnFilm 🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈📽💿Ian Smith (@IanOnFilm) reported

    TV signal vanished last night again and still isn’t back. One week after fire was put out Freeview say 2+ more weeks to fix. It is staggering to me that the biggest transmission aerial in the country could have been decimated so quickly and with no real contingency plans.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital It's like the guy, "harry hill" who came to my house sent by freeview, I never asked for him, just turned up. Here to fix your TV mate,

  • WiggumCharm Tom Head (@WiggumCharm) reported

    That's your lot on this issue. Nothing more to say. Consider this the 10-minute freeview on Babestation and make do with it... 😎

  • CharlieandNige Nige & Charlie in Cornwall 🏳️‍🌈 (@CharlieandNige) reported

    @FreeviewTV Curious to know in the good old days here in Gorran Haven with analogue TV we might only of had 3/4 channels. Now with Freeview in certain weather conditions we get poor or no signal for days. We can retune and get French channels Can anything be done to resolve it?

  • tapper82 Tapper82 (@tapper82) reported

    @pvfc_carol Hi can you help out pleas. Since the BBC are now broadcasting the PVFC games over Freeview I can no longer injoi the Vale games. I am blind and use my radio to know what's going on when in the ground.

  • orkitecht85 sparky t k o (@orkitecht85) reported

    Today’s first world problem: switching to the I-Player for the Hundred match because the picture for BBC2 is a bit fuzzy on Freeview, and being a bit sulky that it’s about 30 seconds delayed.

  • WatsonJKnights Watson J.Knights (@WatsonJKnights) reported

    @MsAmiiEvlynB @FreeviewAdvice @FreeviewTV Mine went like this a few months ago. I contacted freeview they told me lots of things 2 try none worked. Was at home after a week of no freeview looked down & thought what if I disconnect signal booster maybe that will make a difference..it did. If you have booster disconnect it

  • nicolelc29 Nicole (@nicolelc29) reported

    @Manhattan_TV Hi, I have a t2 freeview box which seems to have suddenly disconnected from the Internet, though all is plugged in. When I try & record it says 'please wait, loading hard drive' & nothing happens, I've tried resetting, turning off at plug, can you help pls?

  • p__e__a__s p e a s (@p__e__a__s) reported

    @itreallyisEmma Freeview is ****** up here, love. Believe it or not, the transmitter burned down. Freeview officially down indefinitely.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @pigletish @roselc04 Hi Anneli, You can acquire Freeview boxes from most retailers, both online and in-store! In regards to indoor aerials, we do not recommend them as they are not guaranteed to provide a signal, they depend on a good line of sight to the transmitter to receive a signal. Dev.
