  • 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...😳

  • 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!

  • 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

  • iainsykes2014 Iain Sykes (@iainsykes2014) reported from Blackburn, England

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

  • chef247patrick patrick efc mc (@chef247patrick) reported from Bolton, England

    @steviemac2010 @LFC_NewStories Watch them cancel the freeview now

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @mjohndyke Do you use freeview or another service to watch TV? You might need to retune.

  • FrancisAShailes Francis A Shailes (@FrancisAShailes) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV @berkobabe UK, but I don't have a TV that can get Freeview. I had a digibox but it's very poor at reception now (I'm near Bristol). I wish one day TPTV could be fed to the internet like Drama and Yesterday etc.... but I know there are obstacles to that.

  • Golf_5_TM Tim H (G5TM) (@Golf_5_TM) reported

    BTW re: my earlier poll re: TVI.. please share I’d like votes and responses on this. It seems like it’s all bands causing issue but ONLY on satellite and DAB!?? Not freeview. I’m sure both satellite and DAB are linked to their rf distributor in the attic.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    *in some areas only. The national version of That's TV, with the same schedule except the local news at 6 and its early morning repeat is down on Freeview 91, again in some areas (but not necessarily the same areas) only.

  • DJLujoso DJ Lujoso (@DJLujoso) reported

    Hehe.. I have worked out a way to get in & out of the ULEZ undetected. Gonna go scope it out in a bit. Trouble is, if it fails I'll have to pay TFL twelve quid & I won't know if it works for three days... Beats sitting in watching freeview, eh?

  • TheWarLlama The War Llama (Taylor's Version) (@TheWarLlama) reported

    @JSpaced10 Because the licencing for the Freeview crap is cheap. Original shows are not. Gotta maximise those profits, son.

  • Kathy_landeg59 Kathryn Landeg (@Kathy_landeg59) reported

    Freeview is down agian I'm losing channels

  • James__Parr James Parr (@James__Parr) reported

    @Shires_Rich We should start a petition to get Star Trek aired on freeview tv so that anyone can watch it without having to pay for a premium streaming service.

  • adiospantaloons Trumpet Compulsory (@adiospantaloons) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV @Simon_Pegg I wish. I can't seem to watch your channel, no matter how hard I track it down. No website or app seems to stream it, and we can't get Freeview as aerials don't work in our wooded part of the country :-(

  • richardjacobs1 Rich Jacobs💙 (@richardjacobs1) reported

    @SimonBrodkin Similar goings on with mine. We need to compile a parental / grandparental FAQ to avoid the call outs. “Q: You think Freeview not working? A: press Input. Antenna = aerial = Freeview” My latest call out!
