    @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

    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!

  • TomJone58318019 Tom Jones (@TomJone58318019) reported

    @joti261 @Nigel_Farage @GBNEWS Typical idiot Remoaner, you must have found a way to cancel your Freeview then because it's on there too.

  • JohnMac87014501 John Macdonald (@JohnMac87014501) reported

    @FreeviewTV good evening freeview I recently retuned and manage to get the missing channels added but now we can get no information and the time is stuck on the 7th Sept. Nothing but problems with this toshiba tv. Your help will be much appreciated.

  • deanrmarsh Dean Marsh™ (@deanrmarsh) reported

    @MintRoyale Weird. I've never had in HD. Can't get it even if I retune either Part of Ch Fours agreement was it's not available in HD on Freeview... Wonder if it's a regional thing? 🤔

  • BlakeAntcliff Blake Antcliff (@BlakeAntcliff) reported

    @BBCNews Not just villagers, occasionally try my TV and still can't get a signal (have freesat so not that much of an issue) My Dad has BT Youview box that he barely knows how to use and no Freeview channels at all.

  • GrandOld_Grumpy Chris Williams (@GrandOld_Grumpy) reported

    @Jo_IsABitch Not a fan of that charlatan! Saw him whilst flipping through the religious channels on freeView here, the first time we got the service. Saw his audience, realised really rapidly, he was in it for the money, nothing else! Easy life being given 10+% of everyone’s hard earned money

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    OK Day 35 with no #Freeview has just got worse. Got no @bbc5live & no BBC radio on DAB either (obviously no FM with no transmitter. #Freeview need to start answering questions to MP's this is ****, can live with no TV, radio just about but *******, this is 3rd world crap

  • saintjeff52 Saintjeff "DO THE DEAL FROSTY" (@saintjeff52) reported

    @BritBox_UK 'Streaming now, only on Britbox'. You do understand that the vast majority of the British viewing population do not watch Britbox. Should stream it on a Freeview Channel. Viewing figures would quadruple. I personally have never watched this 'new' version. Ca ne fait rien

  • xenathecat1 xena the cat (@xenathecat1) reported

    Hooman is finding new things out living in this small town. The big Tesco extra doesn't open before 7am, Amazon, deliveroo, just eat etc don't deliver here, there's no buses after 6.30om & the tv and mobile signal is very poor. Hooman can only get 45 freeview channels here.
