    @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...😳

  • collegeflunky Sean Vickers (@collegeflunky) reported from Radcliffe, England

    @FreeviewAdvice any advice?Unable to watch terrestrial tv properly since Winter Hill update in August. Retuned Humax box and Hisense tv numerous times but still an issue #winterhill #freeview #

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

    @dougmcfarlane41 @Freeview @TheNorthernEcho Still poor signal in Middlesbrough too.

  • RalphMcTell1 Ralph McTell (@RalphMcTell1) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, my TV is only recording some scheduled programmes in Freeview. It seems to affect all channels? Samsung advised to speak to you… can you help?

  • MMendoza2021 Miguel. (@MMendoza2021) reported

    @dougmcfarlane41 @Freeview @TheNorthernEcho Poor, only HD channels and they keep losing signal. 5 out of 10 signal strength.

  • sunkisscribbles Joy 🏳️‍🌈 (@sunkisscribbles) reported

    @ScrumptiousBlue Ahh OK, I just don't want my account deleted so that's a bit reassuring - thanks. Been asking them for help for 10 days but they won't reply, no idea why. Dr Pimple Popper - isn't that on Freeview?

  • KeyworkerMan Yorkshire-man (@KeyworkerMan) reported

    @TheNorthernEcho Almost full service restored! 122 Freeview channels stored after retuning my TV! In my car however, the TFM signal is still too weak to use! So its the end of listening to TFM radio in Harrogate!

  • alb7892 adam (@alb7892) reported

    @SkyUK do you own the tv or is it skys like all over equipment also does it have the capability for freeview etc if in the future you decided to cancel sky? need to know the full details before purchasing,ive had sky 10 years

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @dannysavage @yorkshireladtv It's channels that are text services, teletext holidays is one, or use the Internet to show programmes that are not transmitted over the Freeview UHF network.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    Not even surprised with not having a signal after promises by @Freeview. Absolute **** show of a company. Over two months with ZERO signal. Promised 13th "thousands of homes will have their signal" by 6am, yep nothing Now we start to talk compensation @TheNorthernEcho

  • AlexHTheMAX Alex Horsburgh (@AlexHTheMAX) reported

    @Scotsterahoy @STVNews Stv don't have the money to cover Annan v Kelty never mind 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 games. That is the bottom line. Scotland games on terrestrial tv outside a major game in the later stages of a tournament are over. Not a cheerleader for Sky but they did put the vital Serbia Euro tie on freeview.

  • 2_Wheeled_Wolf @2_Wheeled_Wolf 🇪🇺 (@2_Wheeled_Wolf) reported

    @RantyHighwayman Channel 5 likes spreading hate & misinformation & that **** show is allowed to continue when Wright left. Why I no longer watch Ch5 & removed from my Freeview box after their **** attack on cycling. #ScourgeOfTheTvChannels
