  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @dannysavage Not everywhere. Parts of Ripon, Thirsk and Harrogate still have very little or no signal. Freeview and Arqiva are on the case. Temporary relay being planned in next 14 days.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @dannysavage @yorkshireladtv It's channels that are text services, teletext holidays is one, or use the Internet to show programmes that are not transmitted over the Freeview UHF network.

    @scottygb Shouldn't be any shunt on Freeview either as 7 was never reallocated.

  • MaggieMhm Maggie Hathaway-Mills (@MaggieMhm) reported from Swindon, England

    @Tim_Pilcher Me. I watch documentaries. Which is why I'm on Sky, best service for them. Now I'm pissed off because I'm likely to lose Sky because my sheltered housing scheme system is faulty. And Swindon Borough Council aren't likely to fix it. I'm going to be stuck with Freeview. 😱😱😱

    @Wrightjm6 I'm with you pal. Freeview is awful. Any complaints and all you get is retune retune retune. Spend more time retuning !!! Was thinking of getting Freesat when my Sky ended but ended up staying as I can get virtually all the programmes I watch on Sky Q.

    @brianmoore666 Nativitity! (Martin Freeman). I recorded this on my Freeview box last Xmas, never deleted it, and rewatched it last week.

    @lincsbirder2019 @Wrightjm6 Re-tunes is the best way to solve the majority of issues on the Freeview service. These tend to be straight forward the majority of our viewers. Sorry to hear you are not a fan of our service. 😪

    @FreeSports_TV Why can I not get this channel when I have freeview. It doesn’t appear in amongst my channel list? I’ve tried channel 64 several times and I can’t get it. Please help!

  • AndyHal78102450 Andy Hale (@AndyHal78102450) reported

    @Argos_Online I have just purchased a TV - model ue43tu7020k. I was told by your customer service people that Freeview was available. I cannot download it. Have I been mislead ?

    @LinebreakRugby I can understand some of the support for it from a money point of view but if rugby wants to get more people into the game it needs to be on Freeview.

  • HighFlyerNoMore Insert Username Here (@HighFlyerNoMore) reported

    @obbsie Wow, that's a lot for a crap service! Why not dispense with them completely, instead just use FreeView and iPlayer (free) and pay for whatever streaming services you need. Going to come in at way less than you're paying now.

  • pinkythepolo Lynn Townsend (@pinkythepolo) reported

    @Wrightjm6 I had some issues with Freeview a few months back but the people on the advice line were really helpful. They resolved mine by asking me to do a full first time instal with the aerial out and then repeat with the aerial in. That worked and reset everything 👌
