  • 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...😳

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

  • 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 #

  • 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

  • PhillWatson1970 Phil Watson Esq. #FBPE 🇨🇭🇪🇺 (@PhillWatson1970) reported

    @KarenStopHate @WasOnceLoved This is 2021 not 1979. For benefits you need a mobile phone and an online account. They don’t go to the job centre to sign on anymore. All TVs today are flat screens and as analogue signal has been switched off you need at least Freeview. This a classic case of a false analogy

  • fifasalty 💙Chris💙salt💙 (@fifasalty) reported

    @RealMickFoley i think one problem is the lack of hardcore matches and an hardcore championship. when you look back all the matches i remember they are covered in blood and death defying stunts. not sure why this is not happening now but again creative writing then aew shown on freeview in uk

  • KramG4 Kram G (@KramG4) reported

    @glastonbury @BBCTwo Or better yet, flick to channel 898 on Freeview, has a classic episode of Paint Drying... doesn't feature any **** music or drugged up hippies.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @getback39 All the updates we have are available on the Freeview website. I'm not aware of any issues that would happen in winter due to it being a temporary transmitter. Anne

  • A5h1984 Ashley Dunscombe-Isaac (@A5h1984) reported

    I have tried clearing the internet memory in the hope it gives the apps a kick but no joy. I don't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling the TV as I have Freeview satellite channels installed with lots of favourites marked. Is there anything else I can do to fix this

  • BendyCuteness Abby Addison (@BendyCuteness) reported

    I mean don’t get me wrong I definitely get more cam shows offering free preview but can get tiring with time wasters you just know ain’t going to spend money. Some of them come in freeview daily and never wanna spend like why bother doing that on AW 🙄

  • king4856 Paul King (@king4856) reported

    @FreeviewTV Great news for those who can get any channels still zero at YO624LE and I read in the paper it could be two months before a signal is relayed from Bilsdale : you at freeview should hang your heads in shame 😡😡😡

  • steelclogs Mr Mick NL 🇳🇱 (@steelclogs) reported

    @AlarmBell You could download @euronews Al Jazeera is about the best. I subscribe to De Stentor and De Telegraaf for the local & national news, BBC1 & BBC2 come free with my KPN package. I can watch all the Freeview channels but it's all game shows and recycled 80s crap.

  • stephen_j_moran Stephen Moran (@stephen_j_moran) reported

    Virgin Media broadband is brilliant, phone line and mobile sims good, but their TV offering is poor. Alas, they package them all together. Their basic TV offering is no better than Freeview. The rest are exorbitant Sky packages etc. Apps dead slow through TiVo. Firestick v fast.

  • JamiePickles14 Jamie Pickles (@JamiePickles14) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice The problem I am having Is that my New Television Is a Hisense Model which won’t let receive the Freeview even though a new Mast has been put up In Thirsk
