    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!

    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😂

  • 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

  • declaa Declan McGrath (@declaa) reported from Llanfaes, Wales

    @FreeviewAdvice That's strange as other sites that I use are working expect for the freeview website bad it was working for me last Thursday

  • PeterNimmo1 Peter Nimmo (@PeterNimmo1) reported

    @StewartMcDonald @Ofcom I had assumed that RT’s disappearance from Freeview was down to UK actions (Ofcom). Turns out it was the EU!

  • 4Viewers 4Viewers (@4Viewers) reported

    @Mr___Boy Hi John, we would suggest retuning your Freeview devices to see if this helps as we are having no widespread issues with this.

  • AdventuresVw VW Adventures (@AdventuresVw) reported

    @mycampervan We use a @roku streaming device for TV but when WiFi signal isn't good, the aerial always gets a good Freeview signal.

  • Mr___Boy John (@Mr___Boy) reported

    @4Viewers Probably both but I was specifically talking about 4HD on terrestrial freeview (ch104). I didn't try the SD channel to compare but it's the same on multiple TVs from different brands. I have a feeling it's a Dolby issue, on my old TV it was better using built in TV speakers

  • Garybo1977 Gary Hall (@Garybo1977) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    The Good The Bad and the Ugly and Kill Bill are currently beside each other on Freeview channels. Dichotomy

  • leighelse else{} (@leighelse) reported

    Today I had the misfortune of exploring the available programming on New Zealand's Freeview TV channels. I'm clearly not anyone's target market; to me it looks like wall-to-wall crap with brief sparkles of joy on Maori TV.

  • warrenb1173 warren (@warrenb1173) reported

    @SkyUK Relying on streaming for all your tv content is a terrible idea. Having freeview as back up means you need an aerial on your roof, which negates the main benefit if sky glass!

    if anybody ever saw this twitter freeview sketch i would never get a job anywhere
