    @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!

  • 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

    @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

  • 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...😳

  • collegeflunky Sean Vickers (@collegeflunky) reported from Radcliffe, England

  • newpaulhearn Parliament Must Decide (@newpaulhearn) reported

    @danielmgmoylan @GBNEWS What's the Freeview channel number? Never watched it yet.

  • fincardy fin (@fincardy) reported

    Still not sure why on UK freeview you’re never more than 20 minutes away from a programme about Hitler.

  • chaplow_john Mr John (@chaplow_john) reported

    @_mstephenson88 Probably BeIN not wanting Freeview anywhere in Qatar as they have had huge promotion push getting people to subscribe over here with discounted offers specifically for the WC. Still **** though WC should be Freeview everywhere

  • findjoyeveryday joy♿️ (@findjoyeveryday) reported

    @SatonmyButt @freesat_tv I pay 2.49 a month to remove ITV adverts. My Tv signal doesn’t work well enough for freeview anymore. It’s well worth it! Plus there is UKTV app with drama yesterday and Dave freeview channels (free but adverts)

  • mellonfactory Rob Fawcett (@mellonfactory) reported

    @Frasier67Blank @mat8iou @AvaSantina I'd have guessed you could require an encryption key to demux it, but never dug that deep! My only geeky tech involvement was due to national radio controllers complaining about the Freeview graphic colour palette because it wasn’t absolutely compliant with their branding 🙄

  • Clareyis Clare Boland (@Clareyis) reported

    @virginmedia Why is the basic package so expensive when it's such a poor offering??? Making Freeview look good!!. How do we finish our contracts??? Website down, and staff saying systems down ring back. You aren't worth the £.. especially now!

  • explodingwalrus Carl Draper (@explodingwalrus) reported

    Don't buy @panasonic Freeview recorders if you want to keep more than a thousand recordings per drive, because that's the stupid arbitrary limit they've set on drives. Want to fill up that 6TB hard drive? Tough, the arbitrary limit means you'll barely full it up at all

  • OldMan_UK OldMan (@OldMan_UK) reported

    @StapletonAileen Channel 4 is down online, via the app and on Freeview. I don't think it's got anything to do with @virginhelp

  • checkpointminx Hillman Minx owner 1965 starmerout (@checkpointminx) reported

    @rossaverde @BBCTees @amy_oakden The BBC applies for grants to help fund its research into broadcasting technology that has contributed to developments such as Freeview and DAB digital radio. In 2017-18 it received a grant from the EU of €1,282,331 (£1,145,572).

    @itvhub hi. I quite often have poor freeview signal so often watch the hub live instead. It often says "something has gone wrong with itv hub!" What might this be? Thanks
