    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

    @steviemac2010 @LFC_NewStories Watch them cancel the freeview now

  • 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...😳

  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

    @TheHutchPlay @TalkingPicsTV Looking forward to watching this. But my Freeview recorder is not showing ‘Series Timer Record’ option for this programme - are you able to fix this @TalkingPicsTV ? And if there’s an appetite for classic French TV, how about ‘Aeronauts’ and ‘The Flashing Blade’?

  • sharonkaraa Sharon Karaa (@sharonkaraa) reported

    @Argos_Online I will NEVER shop at Argos again. Purchased a freeview box - only got 14 channels. Tried to return it and because I'd tried it you have refused. Absolutely disgusting! How is someone to know something doesn't work until they try it???

  • juneslater17 june slater ( just call me Joe) (@juneslater17) reported

    I'm on GB News on With Laurence Fox debating Ed Gimmell on the climate emergency about 19.55ish Tonight freeview 236

  • JonquilLucy Jonquil. (@JonquilLucy) reported

    @GBNEWS 'LIVE now: Sky 512, Virgin 604, Freeview 236, Freesat 216, YouView 236, Samsung 4326, Sky Glass 509, DAB+ Radio, GB News App, YouTube, Online.' And I've never seen one minute. Despite this my Twitter feed is clogged up with your tweets.

  • Mighty_Shipp Stairface Ogre (@Mighty_Shipp) reported

    @Lydiarosesteph you never had to pay for it, even in your situation you can just use itvx for free, the subscription removes ads and have extra content but watching live and love island are available for free. also freeview is free so i don't understand why u wouldn't have it if u have a tv

  • CatIpswich Toby the Cat (Ipswich) (@CatIpswich) reported

    @last_of_england I never knew what to think of the film. It left me feeling quite depressed. If they screen it on Freeview, I'll give it a try.

  • Jan_208 JAN ☠ (@Jan_208) reported

    @brianwinteruk I remember updating Freeview, half of the channels never came back & it always had to be scanned a few times.

  • greenbenjamin Benjamin Green (@greenbenjamin) reported

    @ITVXhelp @ITVX Thanks, but that’s not a great deal of help as Freeview Play is listed, but just says ‘some devices not supported’. Why would the software not be written to work on devices that might be a few years older but still being sold? Or is it just not been sorted yet?

  • Houseofclinick Pete Clinick (@Houseofclinick) reported

    @BathCA @JackDeBath @sidcot Yes the mobile reception in Bath can be patchy, especially EE, but for years the TV reception on the south side of the valley has been crap, very few Freeview channels are available from the transmitter on Bathampton Down. Nobody seems to have ever worried about that.

    Oh dear! The #Freeview signal has failed again! It happens every so often. #Newhaven
