  • PurpleDon1973 MadameCholet (@PurpleDon1973) reported from Ilford, England

    Some days I really wish I'd kept all those calls to @JimDavisOnAir on my freeview box. I've been sent way back in time with a USB memory stick, a few years back with some calls. Damn, I really miss those days with the song choice and #JimDavisLive And it was just brilliant radio

  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

  • JEFFREY03296741 JEFFREY PHILLIPS (@JEFFREY03296741) reported from Brentford, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

    @FreeviewAdvice I live in cardiff but receiving gloucester and Bristol channels on my freeview I've retuned many times. How can I fix this?

  • seaghanMK Seaghán🥊🎭 (@seaghanMK) reported

    @a516digital @BBC Thanks done all this. As I have exactly the same issues with BBC FOUR HD on a freesat box (itv/bbc type) which runs off a different dish and on a different tv I really don’t think on this occasion it’s me or my equipment. SD fine. Freeview HD also fine. All other channels ok.

  • SimonTemplarGB Sebastian Tombs 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🏴‍☠️ (@SimonTemplarGB) reported

    @VeryGameGirl @pensionmonkey Yes, never-ending! Classic drama on Freeview etc.

  • coatyclark Joe Clark (@coatyclark) reported

    @IanGrant_edwest @BBCScotland Do you know the worst part you have to pay bbc before you can pay sky or bt or virgin or even freeview

  • BinningAndy Andy Binning (@BinningAndy) reported

    @skytv Sky Glass is utter ****. You cannot choose to record anything, any singular event or episode until the provider (BBC, ITV, 4, Etc) releases it to the Gen-Public, if at all. SkyQ / TiVo records whatever you want. I'm left in Freeview world. Obscene. You should be ashamed

  • Shaunaskins121 Shaun askins (@Shaunaskins121) reported

    @itvnews Thank **** for bad reception on freeview won't have to watch this shower of shite
