    @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

    @FreeviewAdvice any advice?Unable to watch terrestrial tv properly since Winter Hill update in August. Retuned Humax box and Hisense tv numerous times but still an issue #winterhill #freeview #

  • 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.

  • garethrichmond5 Gareth Richmond (@garethrichmond5) reported from Bury, England

    If anyone needs a football fix Copenhagen are playing some other Danish club behind closed doors on Freeview 64...... is this what it’s come to😂

  • BromleyBeau Nikki 💚🤍💜 (@BromleyBeau) reported

    @sellar_james @DeanLockhartMSP I have no mains gas, no public water, no public sewage, no fast broadband until 2027, no DAB radio, no Freeview signal, no trains and a virtually non-existent bus service......so branding on food packets isn't that important in the grand scheme of things.

  • qvcuk QVC UK (@qvcuk) reported

    @avraam2000 Hi Maria, apologies for any disappointment. If your TV does not support HD content, you can still watch via your aerial (i.e. Freeview) as we will still be in SD for there. We also have online streaming available via the QVC app or using the desktop version of our website. Joe

  • jwfamilylaw Julie Watts (@jwfamilylaw) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi problems with Freeview dipping in and out and ‘No Signal’ in Dorking - is it a transmitter issue? Any help gratefully received

  • donk0802 Mick Robinson (@donk0802) reported

    @antonyrayworth @virginmedia I pay £135 and had the same mate I waited on the phone 50min to cancel it and they don’t give a **** they said drop the sports, HD AND 3 of the MULTIROOMs and you only have to pay £89. So that’s internet and Freeview???

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @alljusthuman @FreeviewTV Hi, I am so very sorry to learn you are missing the broadcasters app's. Can you please DM Freeview Advice along with the Make and Model number of your TV and we will advise a few troubleshooting methods to try and resolve the issue. Thank you, Melissa

  • maniacpony MatO (@maniacpony) reported

    Hi @FreeviewTV , which of your set top boxes have CLM? i.e. support "wireless Freeview"@ viewing of channels over an internet connection where there's no aerial reception?

  • TheVietGwent GJPowell (@TheVietGwent) reported

    @MediaBoyUK GB News on Freeview 236 & Murdoch's new Talk TV on Freeview 237 from 25 April would probably help both channels...? 🤔

  • willmill82 🍢🥙will🥙🍢 (@willmill82) reported

    @ben_quick With Sky Glass, if you cancel the subscription there's a freeview tuner so it'll work... But yeah, understand the hesitancy there

  • Homer19721 Homer1972 🇬🇧 (@Homer19721) reported

    @SDMATTHEWS1 Reigate - in hotel down south. It’s usually channel 236 on freeview

  • sjmawhinney Stephen Mawhinney (@sjmawhinney) reported

    @edmorrish @jonholmes1 @IanDunt I don't know how it would work but if you've paid the licence fee you should be able to access BBC TV shows however you want. Freeview, Sky, Virgin whatever. Youtube is a little more complicated but it's annoying BBC TV catch-up doesn't work properly on Sky.
