  • RobKerr32 Rob Kerr - I'm NOT a Robot (@RobKerr32) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @traceyfromrasen @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV My Freeview signal can be hopeless at best even connected to Wi-fi but the HDMI/laptop combo works well when the cat isn’t jumping on it !

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

    @cutex24 @FreeviewTV Hi Caro, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • sheriffofknokem TrikiRefusenik (@sheriffofknokem) reported

    @EE @ThreeUK Why do you tolerate @JeremyVineOn5 bad-mouthing mobile phones ? He says using a mobile is '' like talking into a tin can '' every day .. He should be having a go at the dire reception on Freeview TV .

  • wpoel William Poel (@wpoel) reported

    @karlypants1 @UKTVPlayHelp One problem is that the Freeview platform involves too many cooks but no chef that will take overall responsibility for sorting this type of problem. Maybe a campaign for refunding the TV licence fee would get some attention?

  • pifflevalve Jon 🎄 (@pifflevalve) reported from Warkleigh, England

    My dad: “I don’t think we’ve got that Tory news channel on the Freeview have we? I’ve never seen it” Me, to myself: “No, I delete it every time you ask me to do the channel rescan”

  • EmmaLovelace Emma Lovelace (@EmmaLovelace) reported

    BBC channels are breaking up on Freeview, it really is a poop service. Really not worth the money paying the licence fee for.

  • greatesthitsuk Greatest Hits Radio (@greatesthitsuk) reported

    We’re aware of problems if you’re trying to stream us this morning. The tech team are getting it fixed asap. In the meantime, the good old fashioned radio still works! We’re also available on Freeview channel 716 and Sky channel 0151

  • SebbieJ Seb (@SebbieJ) reported

    How is it in 2023 @BBCNews still can't show local news in HD on @FreeviewTV. What exactly are we paying for again? Every other paid TV service (netflix, prime, etc) is delivering in 4k and we're still getting most Freeview channels in 480p it's 1992.

  • simesa Simon Ashton (@simesa) reported

    @moogal Are you on Freeview or satellite? Satellite can suffer from rain fade, especially if there’s heavy rain at the uplink and the downlink (home) location. Could be your dish is slightly off-beam which is made worse with all that water in the way of your signal.

  • DJGaryBaldy DJGaryBaldy (@DJGaryBaldy) reported

    This is getting tedious now went to open an app on my @HumaxUK box and yet again it powered down Will you please acknowledge that there are flaws with your Aura Freeview recorder? I'm sorely disappointed and this is a replacement box

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @cutex24 Hello. Thanks for letting us know. It is possible that it is temporary due to weather conditions. Where are you watching from (and via which service, Freeview etc)?
