    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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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 !!!

  • 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.

  • Oldcynic9 GrannyB. (@Oldcynic9) reported

    @GBNEWS @jf_hanley I'm really upset we won't be able to watch on our bedroom freeview tv as our signal is from a relay transmitter & not a main transmitter. We only have virgin on the main downstairs TV. 😡

  • IanDavies84 Ian (@IanDavies84) reported

    @bt_uk OK cheers. I will double check through my freeview on my TV though. I used to be able to get it but maybe somethings changed. Cheers for your help

  • RebeccaHindle_C Rebecca Hindle (@RebeccaHindle_C) reported

    @TeamGBicehockey Oh dear I can't watch it cause freeview isn't working on bt again terrible channel

  • BarbaraRowley7 Barbara Rowley (@BarbaraRowley7) reported

    @bagga2007 Oh no! Do you have devices for streaming and an internet connection that’ll support it? The Freeview channels all have free apps to watch their programs. They should tide you over until you replace the TV.

  • TonyJWells TJ is not hiking (@TonyJWells) reported

    @smolrobots Fires up the Roku. So probably 60 seconds behind the freeview signal.

  • VirtuaMcPolygon Rob Farmer (@VirtuaMcPolygon) reported

    @tomhfh Is it going to be a proper channel on freeview or one of those terrible internet streaming channels ?

  • SuffolkRoyal SuffolkRoyal (@SuffolkRoyal) reported

    @WinterfellT Whatever anyone’s views of the bbc, no one should have to pay the corporation a compulsory tax for the right to watch live tv, especially live tv on non bbc channels. It’s time for the bbc to become either a commercial freeview, or subscription, service.

  • CEEGEE12 Carole Geddes (@CEEGEE12) reported

    @Oldbird19 We don't have the full service for freeview in my area so can't check with anyone locally

  • simonglynjones Simon G Jones (@simonglynjones) reported

    @bbceurovision getting really fed up with sound issues on #Freeview - every time Graham Norton comes in the volume drops out! Grrrr! #Eurovision2021

  • pdockerty Paul Dockerty - 🇬🇧 (@pdockerty) reported

    Does anyone know if @GBNEWS will be available through Sky Q? Or will I need to flip the TV to freeview (which I never do normally) to watch it?
