    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

  • 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.

    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 !!!

    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.

    @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.

    @JBlairSco @Gwyn_Dr @S4C There is probably an issue with having a ‘commercial’ channel on a BBC multiplex as well. It would make more sense, S4C would be able to broadcast to England too - and would restore Great Movies Classics in Wales on Freeview too.

  • eddsirr Edd Sirr (@eddsirr) reported

    @JBlairSco @Gwyn_Dr @S4C It’s not a connection error or a broadcaster error- it’s an error by the company that broadcasts the Freeview multiplex. There is literally nothing S4C could have done themselves to fix it.

  • abigayle_x Abigayle ♠️💜 (@abigayle_x) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice JVC tv with freeview play is throwing up error FVP-300 on iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4 and My5. Have power cycled the TV and reset the wifi and still getting the error. Aerial is fine as live freeview channels still working, any idea how to fix this?

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

    Channel 4 on satellite is working (if you want to watch Deadpool 2). Problems persist on Freeview in some regions - this is because of the way C4 is distributed on terrestrial TV. Example C4 SD: E Mids Freeview: blank screen with 4 logo top left. North East Freeview: normal.

  • MochaQuokka QuokkaMocha🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇿🏳️‍🌈 (@MochaQuokka) reported

    @TheWeegieDoctor Yeah, I do not miss that not coming off my pay every month. I tend to watch streaming stuff more often than live TV anyway, and you can get the More 4 and BBC apps and watch stuff. I just use the Apple TV for everything these days. Can't get a proper signal for the freeview here.

  • chiboxva ChiboxVA - Live2D Rigging Commissions Open (@chiboxva) reported

    @taneaspen I'll have you know I have never spent money to "see things" like that. You being born with bits and bobs doesn't really count as "Freeview".

  • lanyon_mark Mark Lanyon (@lanyon_mark) reported

    @NadineDorries I hope you are going to hold a public enquiry in to the lack of an emergency plan for the state broadcaster Channel 4. The channel is still down on Freeview HD after several hours, other broadcasters have been able to recover/switch locations. This is unacceptable

  • willmgreenhalgh William Greenhalgh (@willmgreenhalgh) reported

    @canveyboy1972 @Channel4 Apple TV is still broken then, from what I've read satellite was the first to return then they focused on freeview, I guess apple TV and other Internet based services are last on the list

  • PinderBanthorpe Surviving Baby Boomer 🌈💙#EmbraceBrexitMyArse Ⓥ (@PinderBanthorpe) reported

    P*ssed off with @Channel4 tonight. Settled down to watch #Deadpool2 - no HD, (on #Freeview), but more importantly, no subtitles! For the hard of hearing, like myself, subtitles are the only way we can follow the dialogue. Poor showing. 😡

  • ClaireMenzies12 Claire Menzies (@ClaireMenzies12) reported

    @TDTV_Gaming The reason for the BBC losing the streaming business is coz you choose crap programs for us to watch! That goes for General TV programs including what we’re to watch on Freeview we’re fed up with watching repeats. This is Why people don’t want to pay for TV licenses!
