  • 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

  • bulldogbyrne julie byrne (@bulldogbyrne) reported from Hindley, England

    Why do I keep paying for TV service which is shit @BTGroup I get better service on indoor freeview aerial

  • thelobsterboy Paul Smith (@thelobsterboy) reported from Manchester, England

    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!

    @qvcuk hi do you know why freeview channel 16 is not working? Not been able to receive for 2 days now. Just keeps saying service not running. Thanks Sue x

  • joolsreevey julia (@joolsreevey) reported

    @Scrippsy48 It's on freeview 716 on the TV if that's any help

  • potter2207 Stokie'73 🇺🇦 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️ (@potter2207) reported

    @ignorami @LeeAndersonMP_ @lucyfrazermp UTTER CRAP!!! If you watch ITV you have to pay it. If you watch Chanel 4, 5, or any of the other 100's of freeview channels, you have to pay it. If you watch Sky you have to pay it. Educate yourself.

  • Ali_le_zebre Ali Z (@Ali_le_zebre) reported

    @TalkTV High people at Talktv Are you aware that you've been taken down on Amazon Prime, Amazon Fire Stick, internet, and YouTube. Don't know who you've upset, but the only TalkTV channel that's currently working is 522 on SKY, and Freeview. You need to sort this out guys.

  • JamesMartinTVR James Martin (@JamesMartinTVR) reported

    The other issue with the @bbceurovision geoblock is in normal years, the semis are on BBC Three; not available in HD in Scotland or Wales on Freeview. So these viewers have no way to watch in HD.

  • johnkcrouch John Crouch - Pro EU (@johnkcrouch) reported

    @virginmedia I distanced myself from your so-called service years ago, @virginmedia Sick of constant loss of broadband, unexplained loss of TV signal and dreadful customer support I switched to Freeview and Vodafone. I save enough each month to pay for a good night out and I am stress free.

  • Gav_Leaf Gav Leaf (@Gav_Leaf) reported

    @SyphinB @WrestlingHumble I think they're overestimating based on the viewing numbers vs the WWE The thing is, AEW is on Freeview TV. WWE is currently on the #2 Ranked Sports Subscription service in the UK. Even the network doesn't let you watch WWE live unless you have that Sub That effects the ratings

  • 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”

  • cbrown0601 Christopher Brown (@cbrown0601) reported

    @virginmedia no broadband since 0730 on Tuesday - no engineer until Tuesday 11 April. Tv playing up too. What a Happy Easter treat. I am about to plug in my old rooftop aerial on Freeview for the weekend 😫

  • Savantfoxt Savantfoxt (@Savantfoxt) reported

    @KazzyAnnie1 I got fed up with Virgin internet dropping several times a day and the frequent sales calls. I switched to BT, 6 months later I haven't had a single outage or annoying sales call. Speed about the same but it depends on your area. Going freeview too is where I saved money.
