  • mooseandme1 Moose And Me (@mooseandme1) reported from Great Harwood, 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.

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @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...😳

    Come on Freeview, sort out the signal in Hastings!!! @freeview

  • EE EE (@EE) reported

    @liampdwyer Thanks for getting back to us, Liam. This service can be accessed on freeview on channel 236, or if you're watching on the app. If it's hardly working, it'll be best to reset your TV box, and possibly your broadband.

  • Pwrf7doggo Mr. E (The 2-stroke years) (@Pwrf7doggo) reported

    @MovetheWorld9 @novaramedia This time in standard English rather than poor signal freeview.

  • MixedSpur Andrew (@MixedSpur) reported

    Awful picture for this U21 match. Like watching Freeview on a smart tv.

  • dr1141 D (@dr1141) reported

    @SteveWalesPhoto @StansaidAirport @DavidBflower That's modern technogy, we still have our Baird 405 line set with those spindly screw in legs. Problem is reception of Freesat / Freeview is frankly rubbish. But we like that screensaver when we turn off at night. This fading dot - riveting.

  • TerryMeehan1234 Terry Meehan (@TerryMeehan1234) reported

    @FreeviewTV Hi Freeview 101 BBC has no EPG since your retune. Can you fix that please?

  • ihatemogs Micheál O'Fiach (@ihatemogs) reported

    @crusaders1898 @andrewhdonohoe @Saraita101 No because it's called Saorview here, uses slightly different technology and doesn't carry BBC channels, only RTÉ and a few other domestic channels. Freeview, the UK system, is available in border areas where the signal leaks over the border, impossible to change.

  • CraigMason Craig Mason (@CraigMason) reported

    I love all the drama from people complaining about the emergency alerts... "I DIDN'T CONSENT!". It's a broadcast. The gvt doesn't have access to your phone via emergency alerts. It's as intrusive as the BBC Freeview signal. Keep the alerts on. They could save your life.

  • ThatsTVOfficial That's TV (@ThatsTVOfficial) reported

    @Greyadder Are you a Freeview viewer? If so please direct message us and we will see if we can help you

  • chrisk_nature ChrisK.Nature (@chrisk_nature) reported

    @Artemisfornow They should make 'over-air' broadcast (Freeview etc) free and Charge for iPlayer access which is already behind a paywall of sorts because it asks for your TV License number already Over air programmes have poor Image Quality as it is; why pay for SD quality?
