    You don’t realise how awful freeview is until your waiting for the sky man to come to your house 🥴

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

  • genders_jason Jason Genders (@genders_jason) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @madaboutHolly @Lee_JM75 Who's watching this bad boy on Freeview channel 70 ,Horror, right now😁💩💩💩

  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

    @brianwinteruk @GoffyMedia @BBCTees It is on mine. Well...not Freeview at present in my area because the local transmitter burned down.

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

    @Mark56623345 High pressure may also be affecting Freeview reception. To identify if this is the cause: - Check to see if both ITV and Channel 4 have a problem. - If it's just ITV, it's the problem with the Freeview multiplex feed. - If it's both services, it's your reception.

  • IronMask75 IronMask75 (@IronMask75) reported

    @FreeviewAU @FinancialReview There's an issue with this service that, if you change the channel and there is no program information, the banner remains on screen forever. Only way to remove is to hit green button to open Freeview guide, then hit back, then exit. Sony Bravia X95G.

    @JanSmit91387857 @Astrid43254552 Yeah down on Virgin and Freeview sure same with Sky hopefully not another Red Bee Problem again if the feed goes there

  • downiearino Scott Downie (@downiearino) reported

    @toastman @ScotlandNT Stupid ****, probably all you get on freeview. Jakey

  • TheDoctor2058 Anthony 🏳️‍🌈🎵 (@TheDoctor2058) reported

    so according to the freeview website a majority of people will get the signal back on wednesday. Whether or not that includes yours truly is a matter of time.

  • stegb1987 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Stephen 🏳️‍🌈 (@stegb1987) reported

    @ibrocksom @virginmedia It was down on all platforms including Freeview so not a Virgin Media problem for a change

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

    * These two sites are affected as they currently broadcast all the main Freeview channels on the frequencies that Bilsdale will be using. To avoid interference, they need to come off air during tests. **That 80 metre temporary mast will be in service for quite some time.

  • runnerbrite Max Richens 💙 (@runnerbrite) reported

    @charlesarthur @BBCMoreOrLess Only Freeview. Freesat ones are a bit more expensive as generally on larger Sony boxes if I stayed Sony.. Though I also have a Panasonic freesat TV which works ok. But an issue is that the current one works so I am reluctant to add it to the heap of discarded electronics.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, do you have any information about why Freeview in Canterbury seems to be down for a good week at least? Thank you
