  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Werrington, England

    Warning, stupid question incoming, does a Freeview tele just simply plug into an old skool aerial?? My mum wants a new TV but doesn’t have cable. I’m assuming so? I’ve had cable since the early 90s so haven’t had to faff on with aerials for 30 odd years !!!

  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

  • JoyAnneGarner Joy Garner (@JoyAnneGarner) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Anyone else having issues with Freeview etc today? ST6 area ?

  • kirstxxiv kirstylouise (@kirstxxiv) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

  • DavidSwindells1 David Swindells (@DavidSwindells1) reported from Macclesfield, England

    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

    @RestoreTVHelp I’ll post your response into the Facebook Group in question. There are about 6 people reporting recent problems with Freeview through an aerial in Llantwit Major. I’ve put a generic postcode for the town into your checker and it’s an area which should have received your postcards

  • sussexterrier Kevin Beaumont (@sussexterrier) reported

    Tried to watch "Putin - the road to War" on PBS America and PBS America + 1 - 84/87 on freeview. Unwatchable owing to "interference". Never any problems with this channel previously. I wonder....

  • Oog Katy Moon Knight (@Oog) reported

    @TheAzzo We are suckers for Sky/Virgin, and our telly has all the apps and services etc etc. Can't remember that last time I used freeview telly 😬 Our Internet is also RIDIC so we have no streaming issues at all.

  • f1girl kim (@f1girl) reported

    @FreeviewTV Yet again NO FREEVIEW, why between 12 noon and about 8pm we hae no TV sort it its your problem NOT ours

  • hygienistdirect ShaunyF1Mcl🧡 (@hygienistdirect) reported

    @buckstack4 I just do freeview, prime and NOW I cancel NOW during the closed season. F1 is the only sport I watch and at £25 pm it is an affordable way to watch the racing (very nearly) live

  • jwfamilylaw Julie Watts (@jwfamilylaw) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi problems with Freeview dipping in and out and ‘No Signal’ in Dorking - is it a transmitter issue? Any help gratefully received

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @alljusthuman @FreeviewTV Hi, I am so very sorry to learn you are missing the broadcasters app's. Can you please DM Freeview Advice along with the Make and Model number of your TV and we will advise a few troubleshooting methods to try and resolve the issue. Thank you, Melissa

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @GreenDragonpip Hi, We do not provide a service to view Freeview online. If your friend views the programs via catch up players such as BBC iPlayer or ITV Hub you would need to speak to the broadcasters directly. Thanks, Dylan

  • GTFCScoreboard GTFCScoreboard (@GTFCScoreboard) reported

    @staffordgary @TheVanaramaNL Doubt much will change. Hull predominately on FM since commentary back (and rightly given status and support base) and DAB and freeview for us two. And online for backup.

  • NeilNeilasher Neil Asher (@NeilNeilasher) reported

    @SpoonWilsons @BBCNews No, not everyone. Anyone with Sky, Virgin, et al, would already have a box they could subscribe via. We all got STBs when the analogue signal was turned off, so we could get Freeview. How else can they police the, new, non-licence-fee era that starts in a few years time?
