    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

  • thelobsterboy Paul Smith (@thelobsterboy) reported from Manchester, England

    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!

    Why do I keep paying for TV service which is shit @BTGroup I get better service on indoor freeview aerial

  • 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

  • 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...😳

  • spurscad Spurs2257 (@spurscad) reported

    @_DanielRyan My Samsung TV displays ITVX under Freeview button but when you click on it it tries to connect you to ITV hub and then tells you your device doesn't support ITVX 🙄

  • Tonychrizo Tony C (@Tonychrizo) reported

    @SecretPrisoner Probably in possession of a mobile phone, nice fat canteen and facilities to cook own food, access to drugs and Freeview box, probably ******** some **** officer and not giving a **** about anyone else but self

  • ITVChannelTV ITV Channel News (@ITVChannelTV) reported

    @SollyIan @ITV ITV was recently granted an Ofcom licence which would allow ITV1 to broadcast in HD in the Channel Islands, however, there is currently insufficient Freeview/satellite capacity to provide the service in addition to other channels. We are aware of the issue and are working to fix.

  • fleming77 Jane Fleming (@fleming77) reported

    Looking at TV Schedule on Freeview what a load of crap. The best television 1970-85 Present day comedians are performers without wit

  • Jennife10651535 Jennifer Richards (@Jennife10651535) reported

    @WarphobblerKaz @RslewisSally Dr. Google says the last Cathode Ray Telly was sold in 2000. So that's what we've got. I use it as a screen to play DVDs and belong to a DVD rental service. Definitely no.HDMI slots.Its got freeview so OH can watch his quiz programmes

  • moreb35 tracey (@moreb35) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi I have a freeview device but when I go on it it doesn’t allow me to watch anything . I press it and it goes on no signal , I’ve reset the data and still nothing ?

  • birthofthetrue Maria S / @birthofthetrue@kolektiva.social (@birthofthetrue) reported

    @CymraegDoctor @S4C It wd be good if could choose subtitles in Welsh on S4C on iplayer, wd help lots to be able to read along, but doesn't seem to be an option as viewer in England? (Used to pick up s4c on old terrestrial telly, but not now on digital/freeview)

  • bornfugly Chauncey Hand (@bornfugly) reported

    @aliward_96 @Mistress__Lucy You don't have to cater to anyone's demand. If you think there's a big market for the show, it's genuinely never been cheaper to start a Freeview channel. Talking Pictures is run as a hobby. Make some ad revenue and broadcast it!

  • LukeFalkingham1 Luke Falkingham (@LukeFalkingham1) reported

    @ColinEast7 @Capt_Fishpaste Wouldn’t class almost 30,000 and live on freeview tele as a “poor turnout”

  • StephanieColqu3 Stephanie Colquitt (@StephanieColqu3) reported

    @thecornstar @PanthersIHC @Notts_TV Didn’t know if the same channels were available, apologies never used freeview so no idea how that works
