    @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

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

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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...😳

  • pde62 Peter Everett (@pde62) reported

    @k1482 @AvonandsomerRob The good lord commonsense. It's about budgets and budgeting. Freeview TV is .... free. So you can't deny it would help household finances, especially for those who are cash-strapped; whether they are employed by the state or not.

  • Farfields_0x04 John 3VaxDermott *🌻🇺🇦* 🇬🇧🇳🇿 (@Farfields_0x04) reported

    @Yekki_1 Use Freeview box with antenna where you can get a convenient signal and check the remote will work at that distance, then hdmi wireless extender to your TV. Not elegant though.

  • gardeninguy Guy Cook (@gardeninguy) reported

    Pops has his TV back, and me turning Router off @ night, safety reasons, is the reason his box went wrong. It needs updating during night. Bloody stupid. My Freeview lets me know when I need to update. More electricity on, when not needed. Bills going up.

  • stevemelville83 steveratio (@stevemelville83) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I live in AL1 district of ST Albans and as of 20.30, 15/3/2022 we lost Freeview. We receive our signal from the Crystal Palace transmitter, do you know of any problems?

  • SnapeHugh hugbilly (@SnapeHugh) reported

    @RadioTimes Thanks for the reply and I understand the intention. What is slightly more annoying is that the site no longer allows one to set a default service provider (i.e. Sky or Freesat.) I use Freeview and it used to be that once I'd selected that service as the provider the page would

  • rachie1788 Rachael Kerr (@rachie1788) reported

    Why do I pay for @skytv again? Never works or downloads anything! May aswell stick with freeview as that’s pretty much all that is functional! 😠😤

  • BigJohnnyArcher John Archer (@BigJohnnyArcher) reported

    Freeview Play and LG have announced a new five-year agreement this morning, so after the unexpected Freeview Play issues of LG's 2020 TVs, UK LG TV buyers won't have to worry about potentially not getting the main UK terrestrial broadcaster apps again until 2027.

    @pde62 @Bazza315 @AvonandsomerRob "I think charities should have the power to take away people's TV packages on pain of starvation, while the government - instead of them proper support - installs Freeview. Because my brain is mush and assume they don't have this already, but I want to punish the poor further"

  • DarkNightMoofie ✌🏻Gary/Gawy✌🏻 (@DarkNightMoofie) reported

    @Forces_TV are there any plans to bring your channel to the non HD service of Freeview?

  • BeguilingFellow Steven Desmond (@BeguilingFellow) reported

    @Forces_TV Sadly nothing right now, as there's no signal on some Freeview channels (including Forces TV) in CM21 area at the moment :(
