    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!

  • 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

  • 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...😳

  • Mlabus5 Malabus (@Mlabus5) reported

    @Rob_McPhee_UK @FreeviewTV Drama; Drama +1, Horror and ITV3 are the main problematic channels. Maybe a relay transmitter problem, but nothing is indicating that on the Freeview website. I've changed the amplifier and still having issues. Thanks for replying.

  • JoshxReid Josh (@JoshxReid) reported

    Looks like they've quickly cut out that slide on iPlayer and replaced it with a static version of the new downtime slide. Still able to get the 'We're not here right now' on Freeview though

  • DSkippings Darren Skippings (@DSkippings) reported

    @redflag3rd @BebsDotter @tomhfh I can honestly say I have never once watched it, I deleted it as soon as it was put on freeview, so I didn't see it by accident.

  • DickWinchester **** Winchester 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@DickWinchester) reported

    @jasonpwalk Never seen a TV with FreeSat built in only FreeView

  • joebloggz6 Terrorist Tea Pot (@joebloggz6) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi ,We have no Freeview in L24 no signal .

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

    @BuddyGB Will watch that on IPlayer. Technical issues with Bilsdale mast means signal is not strong enough for my Freeview PVR to use its two tuners to record more than one programme at a time. Frustrating.
