  • 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

    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!

  • tashatam14 tashatam (@tashatam14) reported

    @benonwine Get plenty of practice here in rural Devon, where the power and internet go off quite regularly, and many of us have no mobile signal at all (or mains sewage, decent water pressure, gas, public transport, road repairs, freeview signal - you name it, we don't have it)

  • cmfitzg cmfitzg (@cmfitzg) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice We have been struggling for many Freeview channels for 2 or 3 weeks now. Postcode is WR2 4PF. When will we get a proper signal again ?

  • HarryWatson63 Harry Watson (@HarryWatson63) reported

    @feastsandfables @eberlin I think the Food Network is Freeview. I quite often 'dip' into it.

  • JellyTotPixel D🅰️rren (@JellyTotPixel) reported

    @d_n_g_x @Rebekaaah__ freeview is having issues in some parts

  • johnsouthwales JohnWales (@johnsouthwales) reported

    Freeview channel 234 RT. This service is currently not available..

  • mwoodwriting Matthew Paul Wood (@mwoodwriting) reported from Redcar, England

    There's an important point to be made about internet freedom and search algorithms but I can't be bothered all that so... The internet is like Freeview now. "Do you want this crap thing you didn't ask for on CNN 1, CNN 2, or CNN extra?" 😾

  • energylevel MCFC4Heatons 💎🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@energylevel) reported

    @manners_stacey If you have a premium TV service from SKY or Virgin you could save there. We're switching to Freeview. With the all the players & catchup don't really feel we need a lot of the functionality of a premium TV Service anymore..

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @SueMARKLEY9 @bt_uk Hi Sue, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • PhilipRDavies Philip Davies (@PhilipRDavies) reported

    @LUFC_josh Yep, a couple of ITV channels down here (via Freeview from the Wenvoe transmitter near Cardiff)

  • NYCBabe Joanne 💙 (@NYCBabe) reported

    @AskOneHousing @OneHousing @OHGResidents I’m now sick of your contractors accidentally cutting off our Sky and Freeview signal when they’re using the communal cupboards as a dumping ground. This is the umpteenth time since Christmas this has happened! 🤬
