    @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

  • 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

  • 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!

    @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...😳

  • endeavour1968 Endeavour1968 (@endeavour1968) reported

    @virginmedia When you pay for a premium TV service and get Freeview.

  • SimpkinsRachael rachael simpkins (@SimpkinsRachael) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I'm in Sheffield and having the same problem with no signal quality and no freeview channels since Tuesday

  • BoyCharioteer Stephen Miller (@BoyCharioteer) reported

    @petertsykes My Virgin bill this month is £92.57. I accept that occasionally there can be technological problems and that they need fixing. I can survive the trauma of having to use Freeview briefly today without whingeing about it on social media.

  • annlyon55 Ann (@annlyon55) reported

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

  • _kanundrum Christopher with a C (@_kanundrum) reported

    @BBCSnooker why to love of God would you change the freeview channel 601 from Gilbert game to the Hawkins game after an hour!? People,like me, who have just moved house and no WiFi yet, so can't use red button service! Seriously sick of snooker and whoever makes stupid decisions

  • JCCottingham Jo Cottingham 🇬🇧#BorisIsMyPrimeMinister (@JCCottingham) reported

    @osteogenesis I’m on EE and haven’t had any trouble at all. Got my phone with them too on sim only. In fact it’s been so good I’m going to renew with them when it’s due. I’ve got a freeview box and shared Amazon Prime on a family thing.

  • AnnieGE2 AnnieGE2 (@AnnieGE2) reported

    @MrsWardley @FreeviewAdvice After giving up on the freeview channels, I did check again about 90 mins later before I had to leave home and the channels had returned... Still want to know what happened to cause this big outage? (Btw our separate Virgin Media cable TV service suddenly failed today too, odd.)
