  • 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

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

  • 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...😳

  • garethrichmond5 Gareth Richmond (@garethrichmond5) reported from Bury, England

    If anyone needs a football fix Copenhagen are playing some other Danish club behind closed doors on Freeview 64...... is this what it’s come to😂

  • 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!

  • Nessiethesosage phil (@Nessiethesosage) reported

    @GetLustCast @nad8348 @grandi_fan Yup, they got me it. It was shite, I think someone joked why do you need it after the 15 minute freeview. I’d stick a vhs in to record it from midnight to 4am only to find half of that **** was some ****** talk show with fat old **** Derek Botham and annoying **** Eric Hall

  • michael_b95 M B (@michael_b95) reported

    @HughesOnAir Oh no Howard the end of your show was cut off (on freeview TV at least). Didn't get to hear how to support the show?

  • S4C S4C 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@S4C) reported

    @yanto007 @S4Cchwaraeon English commentary will be available on the Red Button on Freeview. Any issues on the day get back to us.

  • jojomci Jojom 💚🤍💜 (@jojomci) reported

    @SODASam_ @virginmedia You wont miss them Sam. Honestly Virgin are the worst company. So many better ones out there. Its a gift! for landline and internet Zen are superb. Freeview works fine for us.

  • IANdrewTheGiant IANdrew Dice Clay (@IANdrewTheGiant) reported

    I hear so many people wanting a blue tick. I had one in 2002, it wasnt fun. Blue tick is of course a prolonged twitch you get after finishing yourself during the 10 minute freeview in a computer seat. Never going back there again.

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    I notice the Red Button text service isn't functioning on Freeview, Winter Hill transmitter.

  • cutex24 Caro 🏳️‍🌈 (@cutex24) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice over the last 4/5 days I have lost a large number of Freeview channels, despite having repeatedly retuned I can't get them back and not sure what has happened, can you help please? - i'm covered by the Sandy Heath transmitter

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    Among the areas due to get BBC One HD Freeview regionalisation is North East England, where the back-up sat feed supplying relays with a signal following the Bilsdale transmitter incident has BBC One NE&C HD ready to go.

  • electrichoover Electrifed Hoover (@electrichoover) reported

    @orelduderino @Danlassman Is your TV remote broken? at least 200+ channels to choose from on Freeview (900+ if your lucky)

  • Daverjr David_bythesea (@Daverjr) reported

    @paraman31 @DrHoenderkamp Even digital TVs when they need a rescan can cause issues. I help a handful of people out with this task when their freeview tv or box doesn’t auto update…many don’t.
