    @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

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

    @FreeviewTV can someone tell me what the hell is going on with freeview? Sick to death of having no TV! Outage after Outage, day after day! Same reports all over the country. Fgs get it sorted, I didn't pay over 100 quid for a recorder box not to be able to watch it!

    @FreeviewAdvice is their issues with Freeview signals from Mendip transmitter? Live in BA2 area and lost all signals on Sat 18th, also down today 19th Dec. Tried to retune both LG TV's and no channels found.

    @DefundBBC @HHepplewhite ‘You need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch live TV on any channel or TV service - such as ITV Hub, All 4, YouTube, Sky, Virgin, BT, Freeview, Amazon Prime Video, Now TV - on any device’. Just saying.

    @SkyUK It is rubbish and missing many channels available on normal satellite. And picture is not good. And the playlist that replaces record is not good, if it ain’t in the agreement you cannot stream it back. Unlike record. Also the Freeview is only available if the wifi drops. Crap.

    What is going on with freeview? Thought my aerial &/or signal booster were broken. No obvious issues. Seems lots of folk are reporting issues. Grrr.

    @a516digital This is interesting as I fully support public service TV and fta TV, I'm not against pay TV though, it has an equal appeal to me, sadly I can,t get proper freeview where I live, but fully support Viacom and ch 5 coming into digital UK.
