  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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 #

  • 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...😳

  • 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

    Hi everyone, studio 66 TV is not on Freeview anymore, it's closed down for some reason, I can't watch Georgie Darby on screen anymore, I feel upset

  • nma50n Nick Mason (@nma50n) reported

    @virginmedia Got to say, first problem I’ve had with the service and been with them since the Cable and Wireless days! Compensation? For what? Because you’ve missed a ten times repeated Homes Under the Hammer? There is a thing called Freeview? Plus numerous other pay to view services #ManUp

  • lynda_lyndatw Lynda Rolington (@lynda_lyndatw) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice It’s not just London. No Freeview signal whatsoever in Tonbridge- TN10

  • waccoetom Tom (@waccoetom) reported

    @leeds_lord Just cancelled Sky, bill went from £57 to £97, for the simple explanation that I’d been a customer for 18 months 🤔 Gone to City Fibre internet and use my Apple TV to stream Netflix, Prime, and all freeview channels with an option for sports pass through the Now TV app.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital At my place of work, there are 14 in my section, all have sky, some also have freeview but never watch it. 35 staff on day shift, 27 have sky 2 have virgin, but only 3 said they had freeview others were not sure? But it works.

  • annlyon55 Ann (@annlyon55) reported

    @virginmedia We just put freeview on tv...Wasn't a big issue.

  • WimpleUk Mr Wimple (@WimpleUk) reported

    With Virgin TV being down for last few days I must say I know people need internet but why anyone pays for TV (Virgin or Sky) is beyond me. More than enough on Freeview (inc plenty of cr@p). If you want sport/films just subscribe to NOW TV and dip in and out as you want.

  • AkShane47 shane Jones (@AkShane47) reported

    @virginmedia I have a lot more channels back but it's like watching Freeview with rubbish signal still working on it I guess?

  • _Jack_Graham_ Time's Carcass💀☭🏺 (@_Jack_Graham_) reported

    @duckbunnyben I don't have cable or Freeview or Sky, or any TV coming in at all. So if I cancel my iPlayer account, I should be able to not pay?

  • AkShane47 shane Jones (@AkShane47) reported

    @virginmedia So even though services are restored I still have the issue like bad signal on freeview with an indoor aerial,I have reset the box multiple times with no improvement. Is this an issue for anyone else ?
