    @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...😳

  • Like47 Les Dawson and me #JC4PM2019 #LabourActivist (@Like47) reported from Manchester, England

    @gary_worden @cjssydney @cptcapitalg @FrogAlaPeche Poor people either don't have a TV or watch freeview.

  • 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

  • Smoothste21 Smoothste2 (@Smoothste21) reported from Sale, England

  • MaryMares81 mary whitfield (@MaryMares81) reported from Salford, England

    @FreeviewAdvice we have lost the majority of freeview channels having retuned a few times. Used the availability checker which says channels should be available, can you help? Thanks

  • Northern_Steve Steve, just Steve (@Northern_Steve) reported from Manchester, England

    @mickmcfc1 I'll never know. I've pulled the cable out. BBC Parliament on freeview only from now on. They talk absolute bollocks but rarely about football. I'm in!

  • benjcsutton ʙᴇɴᴊᴀᴍɪɴ ꜱᴜᴛᴛᴏɴ (@benjcsutton) reported

    I don't want to pile on, but I think that anyone setting up an independent freeview channel about anything in an age where linear TV is on the decline is pretty ******* stupid tbh.

  • Melisandre6 Melisandre #JusticeMatters (@Melisandre6) reported

    @Raptor_Judy @Cynical_CJ I've got Virgin Cable & Freeview & Netflix and Now TV but there's always another service. Anyhoose, I don't think they do Hulu in the UK. Recently just got Now on a cheep deal but the only decent show is Game of Thrones & I seen it 10 times.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @roseannerainbo4 Hi Roseanne, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Youtube app. You would need to contact the manufacture of your equipment for assistance as the Youtube app is not part of the Freeview service. Thanks, Dylan

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital And I've just checked up, what a surprise vision + is no longer available. I think there was 40 paid for channels. Can,t remember exactly because I never used it. Due to the problems with freeview.

  • hollybuddy01 Jon S. Robb (@hollybuddy01) reported

    Freeview Anyone else having problems with receiving a signal? I cannot get anything not even radio?

  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    This is not good. Freeview signal has disintegrated in the middle of In the night garden 😱

  • the_FLT Fergus Llewelyn Turtle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@the_FLT) reported

    The big exception of course is big sports but that's a little different to normal programming. Even there, cricket viewing has dwindled from lack of major (and Freeview) network coverage.

  • ResineYT LEAVE ME ALONE IM CRYING SOOOO HARD!!! (@ResineYT) reported

    **** Alki David for Using Freeview TV Areals!!!!! #FuckFilmonTV

  • Gooner725 Deep (@Gooner725) reported

    @BBCiPlayer Hi - can one of your technical staff explain why iPlayer is unable to pass a basic 5.1 soundtrack after all this time? Almost every other streaming service can handle it. Why do I have to choose between UHD + 2.0 or HD (Freeview/Sky) + 5.1. Thanks!

  • StevenNT Steven Jones (@StevenNT) reported

    @russty_russ I'm guessing Pre-DSO Freeview and the Internet sowed their demise as fewer and fewer people looked at their analogue service as time progressed?
