    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • AoOldaker Adam Oldaker (@AoOldaker) reported

    @Andy_Gez_ Trying to but I have to go online to get it. I shouldn't read too much into it I'm sure it's just a coincidence Freeview in my area can't get it. But at a time it needs to improve hearing the rumours of Andrew Neil leaving is the worst news. Also I think I prefer talk radio tv.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @JohnMac87014501 @HXValley Are you in a problem signal area there, John? There is a Freeview helpline. Might be worth chat in case they can help? Freeview advice line on 03456 505050

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @getback39 All the updates we have are available on the Freeview website. I'm not aware of any issues that would happen in winter due to it being a temporary transmitter. Anne

  • BendyCuteness Abby Addison (@BendyCuteness) reported

    @Ametyler1 Literally I am so used to doing it all the time but I am feeling like making the change. I will still do free sometimes but no point getting letting people get in freeview get me down x

  • BendyCuteness Abby Addison (@BendyCuteness) reported

    I’m sure any one who dose free view can relate with how annoying people are in freeview “BRB let me top up” Never returns “ twirl for me “ just wants to jerk for free “ where you from?” I just want meet me not interested in camming

  • A5h1984 Ashley Dunscombe-Isaac (@A5h1984) reported

    I have tried clearing the internet memory in the hope it gives the apps a kick but no joy. I don't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling the TV as I have Freeview satellite channels installed with lots of favourites marked. Is there anything else I can do to fix this

  • A_MrBenMitchell Ben Mitchell  (@A_MrBenMitchell) reported

    Any good freeview IPTV providers in the UK? My grandparents TV is really slow loading the guide, it takes 10 seconds. Also apps like Netflix and Prime never went above 1080p. Constantly had wifi issues. So we got a firestick …

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @CarlyleRob @Notts_TV Hi Rob, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception, so we can look into this further can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number?

  • Godnose Godnose (@Godnose) reported

    @g5pr @afneil @GBNEWS Yeah. 100%. He was the draw for me. Watched a few of Neil Oliver but he's too long winded for me. Keep meaning to track down Alex Philips via Freeview but haven't got round to it. Don't understand why Andrew Neil has gone off it. Too woke for him or what?

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @TherealNihal Think that's bad, tommorow will be 28 days since Teesside lost it's Freeview transmitter. So no sky, no TV. Weirdly got DAB but no FM apart from local radio. It's like being in the Stone age. One positive, mood change is weird, no stress better sleep, easier to get to sleep too.
