  • 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...😳

  • Northern_Steve Steve, just Steve (@Northern_Steve) reported from Manchester, England

    @mickmcfc1 I'll never know. I've pulled the cable out. BBC Parliament on freeview only from now on. They talk absolute bollocks but rarely about football. I'm in!

  • MaryMares81 mary whitfield (@MaryMares81) reported from Salford, England

    @FreeviewAdvice we have lost the majority of freeview channels having retuned a few times. Used the availability checker which says channels should be available, can you help? Thanks

  • bulldogbyrne julie byrne (@bulldogbyrne) reported from Hindley, England

  • Like47 Les Dawson and me #JC4PM2019 #LabourActivist (@Like47) reported from Manchester, England

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

  • groovicat groovicat 💚 (@groovicat) reported from Adlington, England

  • 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

  • h_polba Helen Polba (@h_polba) reported

    @Michi_Midge Is this for television? We got rid of Sky Years ago as we realised what we watched was mostly available on Freesat and Freeview. We’ve never had wifi through them, we have Plusnet.

  • thelmarouge thelmarouge🗨 (@thelmarouge) reported

    @Starrygem4 Web said page not available. Thanks anyway Diane. The annoying thing is, I already registered months ago, but recently sign in came up for every prog and its so frustrating. I don't get tv reception where I live, so can't watch on freeview. Why do we have to sign in at all?

  • spacewardash Ashley Shillabeer (@spacewardash) reported

    So I've migrated to @ITVX from BritBoxUK to get more value for money. However, the UI seems very buggy on my Freeview Play TV and is very slow/ unresponsive on other devices. I also miss the Skip Intro feature. At least the contents should be the same, right @ITVXhelp ?

  • DeniseFinkel Mrs. Deedy (@DeniseFinkel) reported

    @MGMRewards MGM+ been watching a freeview on sling. Looks good. Is it a new steaming service?

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    @andyAVAVsystems The Freeview HD mux PSB3/BBC-B is regionalised in England as follows: - London (ITV London) - South and East (Meridian SE) - E/W Mids, West & SW (Central) - North (Granada) Clearly this needs breaking down further for BBC One HD.

  • SkyNews Sky News (@SkyNews) reported

    'The NHS is under huge pressure.' 📢 Sky News is hosting a TV debate asking: can our healthcare service survive? Join @annabotting live from 📍 University Hospital Coventry @nhsuhcw 📆 tonight at ⏰ 7pm. 👉 #NHSinCrisis 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

  • bellerby1963 Nigel Cox (@bellerby1963) reported

    @virginmedia @AdamT_78 Excellent value for money ! I am a loyal customer (mug) of many years standing, about to pay £75/month for internet/phone/and a TV package with less channels than Freeview ! Expect a phone call off me to finally end the relationship.

  • BurningBridgett BurningBridgette94 (@BurningBridgett) reported

    @hoolatv Uh... hello? BBC News and CBBC have changed transponders on satellite, and Quest moved multiplexes on Freeview, why have you still not fixed the issues? I have a bad feeling when BBC One and BBC Two move transponders you won't have it fixed in time, which is problematic.

  • Guy21Nerdy Joshua (@Guy21Nerdy) reported

    @niall_gooch 5 USA (Way down on freeview). Seems to be on as a double bill at weekends, so probably one to record.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @JackEDavies Hi, Jack. Sorry to hear that you're having problems with Freeview Play. What's happening when you're trying to use the service? Fraser
