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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • LLLioness1973 Linzi (@LLLioness1973) reported

    Anyone else having problems with Freeview as i have lost so manychabbels and reinstalled installation 4 times and still missing channels.

  • FlappyBerk Christian (@FlappyBerk) reported

    @RealBlackIrish @uncanted The current ITV issue is likely a consequence of digital terrestrial infrastructure being held together with bubblegum and hope, since it's only effecting Freeview. I don't think there's a huge conspiracy to normalise the loss of Tipping Point repeats for an afternoon.

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

    Problems with ITV on Freeview do appear to be linked to the assembling of the D3&4 multiplex.

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

    The incident originally resulted in a Freeview multiplex configuration glitch when E4 was broadcast in place of S4C in Wales. During the last 24 hours, ITV and Channel 5 have been glitching in some regions while other services on the multiplex were fine.

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

    (Since 25th September, Channel 4's Freeview services have been running at lower bitrates on all other transmitters in the country, following the Red Bee Media incident.)

  • HayleyJaneLyon2 Hayley Jane Lyon (@HayleyJaneLyon2) reported

    @ITV Are you having issues with your ITV freeview channels this afternoon? All are currently pixelated. Other channels are ok. Please advise? Thanks

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    Not even surprised with not having a signal after promises by @Freeview. Absolute **** show of a company. Over two months with ZERO signal. Promised 13th "thousands of homes will have their signal" by 6am, yep nothing Now we start to talk compensation @TheNorthernEcho

  • 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.

  • DissBugBear BugBear (@DissBugBear) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Getting VERY poor reception in Diss at the moment from Freeview/Tacolneston, but that's likely a transmitter problem, not you.

  • 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.
