    @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...😳

  • garethrichmond5 Gareth Richmond (@garethrichmond5) reported from Bury, England

    If anyone needs a football fix Copenhagen are playing some other Danish club behind closed doors on Freeview 64...... is this what it’s come to😂

  • 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

  • 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!

    @tvukzone I really don't want to see thus turn into another Freeview channel when 10 have just been shut down 😕

  • SteveinGX Steve (@SteveinGX) reported

    Really sad that Forces TV is no longer on Freesat or Freeview. Only available to service personnel now. Makes you wonder what's about to kick off in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia that the general public won't be able to watch

  • LukeN100 LukeN (@LukeN100) reported

    @WolfieSmiffed @BBCNews You can't cancel broadcasters on Freeview. You can just watch another service instead

  • D_Hollingsworth Dan Hollingsworth (@D_Hollingsworth) reported from Rickmansworth, England

    When did BBC4 HD. Leave Freeview? What a load of ****, missed a chunk of #TOTP and joining it late with Michael ruddy Jackson.

  • Catwomanx6 Lady Linda Christie #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@Catwomanx6) reported

    @WASoutlooks @JeanneBartram @virginmedia They either think we're idiots or they are. They told me not to cancel the DD until they've spoken to me, then have gone quiet since 12 noon yesterday. Sod that. I've cancelled it and bought a cheaper broadband and a Freeview recorder.

  • LeilaniDowding leilani dowding 🌸 (@LeilaniDowding) reported

    Heading down to London to be on @mrmarkdolan panel on @GBNEWS tonight. 9-11pm 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 515, Virgin 626

  • RetiredBroker Sir George (@RetiredBroker) reported

    @artbookreviews I was aked to set up a freeview box for a friend. Never seen so many wires, gadgets, remotes. Ended up in a loft (no floor!) making friends with an aerial. I think they have 6 TV's but I lost count...

  • littlemore20 Tessa Bennett remembering Toddy and Kevin (@littlemore20) reported

    Does anybody know why CBS Justice (Freeview channel 69) says "Service Closed"? Is it permanent?

  • sweetcandiiee92 Cottoncandiiee (@sweetcandiiee92) reported

    @lumixkat I was trying to watch it on Freeview demand or even Britbox however these steaming apps failed, so now I just wait until C4 or E4 which is just annoying as I normally would watch the next day episode with my morning breakfast ahahaha, 1st World problems ahahaha.

  • Agile_Sean Seán Massey (@Agile_Sean) reported

    How can @BBCNews HD be taken off of Freeview? What a terrible retrograde step
