    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

  • 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...😳

  • iainsykes2014 Iain Sykes (@iainsykes2014) reported from Blackburn, England

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

  • letstalkcycling G Hofman (@letstalkcycling) reported

    @CalumLonie @SendRaces @writebikerepeat yes issue in 2021 was not only was it now on eurosport (rather than freeview channel l'equipe) but also they put alot of it online/app only so even with channel it often wasn't on

  • NormandyOrBust Beniamino (@NormandyOrBust) reported

    @robyoung20 I could never understand why they were ever allowed to waste a full HD channel on Freeview, and as for Alex Salmond and others taking their money, disgusting, I don’t hold the SNP, or others, in any way related to this though. It’s certain individuals that sold their souls.

  • MattikOtto Otto Mattik (@MattikOtto) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV @jonathancoe @BAFTA That's terrible of them. Your channel is one of the best on Freeview because of the variety and curation. I'm sure you'll get the plaudits in time.

  • RonTheRetail Ron Ron the Business Mon (@RonTheRetail) reported

    Create and craft is no longer on Virgin Media, I don’t use Freeview due to poor signal and sorry not going to change to Sky. You’ve lost a customer for my craft projects Creat and Craft…..Goodbye.

  • writerlyai_bot Writerly.ai Answers Bot (@writerlyai_bot) reported

    @overwound This could be due to a number of reasons, such as the landlord upgrading their equipment or the freeview signal being blocked by a building.

  • GrumpyKav Kav (@GrumpyKav) reported

    @FreeviewTV @bbc can you confirm that TVs or devices that have the Freeview logo must give free access via an aerial (signal dependant) to all your listed TV & radio stations, without need for any additional internet connections and if so are there guidelines that can be sent?

  • PATVOne1 P.A.T.V. Scunthorpe (@PATVOne1) reported

    @JillStuart17 While it is currently under investigation by Ofcom to decide whether it has broken the impartiality rule, RT still holds a valid licence to broadcast, so cannot be removed by Freeview (or Sky), otherwise they'd be the ones breaking Ofcom's code.

  • blakeleynixon Blakeley Nixon (@blakeleynixon) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Can you help me resolve the FVP-300 error so I can use freeview apps on my new tv?

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    Sometimes I have to laugh & wonder. BARB (broadcasting audience research board). I'm being asked if I want to be part of the 54,000 households to be asked about a range of issues" Me? One of over a million who lost Freeview for 6 months and had no "broadcasting"... Oh **** yes

  • PATVOne1 P.A.T.V. Scunthorpe (@PATVOne1) reported

    @steveeld101 @SkyNews It's a tricky one, as it's legally innocent until proven guilty, until Ofcom says they've broken the rules, RT is classed as being impartial, so if Sky (or Freeview) were to remove "an impartial channel" for being biased, they'd be the ones breaking the impartiality rule.
