    @FreeviewAdvice we have lost the majority of freeview channels having retuned a few times. Used the availability checker which says channels should be available, can you help? Thanks

  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @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

    @mickmcfc1 I'll never know. I've pulled the cable out. BBC Parliament on freeview only from now on. They talk absolute bollocks but rarely about football. I'm in!

  • thelobsterboy Paul Smith (@thelobsterboy) reported from Manchester, England

    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

  • Like47 Les Dawson and me #JC4PM2019 #LabourActivist (@Like47) reported from Manchester, England

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital It's a shame I cant get freeview where I live, as I would have liked to report how com 7 reception is. But it's been poor for a few weeks now, from what others told me.

  • quantum_quasar Henry Brian Shaw (@quantum_quasar) reported

    @DerSchwarzBaron @U_didnt_saythat Yeah think that's the problem. Because GAA sold rights to Sky, sky block it on the RTE channel. Not sure if you can watch it on Freeview or not. But this is what happens when sports do big TV deals.

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    With a rising British star it's important her finals are accessible free to air. Eurosport may use Quest for them, but they're likely to lose their HD channel soon thanks to slow and regressive progress on switching Freeview to HD.

  • VIPlatinum Bill O (@VIPlatinum) reported

    @neil1886 @ChrisHazzardSF The RTE Freeview signal is not good enough for large swathes of the country to watch RTE.

  • saintjeff52 Saintjeff "DO THE DEAL FROSTY" (@saintjeff52) reported

    @BritBox_UK 'Streaming now, only on Britbox'. You do understand that the vast majority of the British viewing population do not watch Britbox. Should stream it on a Freeview Channel. Viewing figures would quadruple. I personally have never watched this 'new' version. Ca ne fait rien

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital When i lived at my parents freeview was no trouble at all. And remember getting com7 and 8, when they started.

  • IfanLlewelyn Ifan Llewelyn Jones (@IfanLlewelyn) reported

    @CarrieAHarper @thebarryhorns Don't even know where to find it! Never even searched. Is it on Freeview?

  • GrandOld_Grumpy Chris Williams (@GrandOld_Grumpy) reported

    @Jo_IsABitch Not a fan of that charlatan! Saw him whilst flipping through the religious channels on freeView here, the first time we got the service. Saw his audience, realised really rapidly, he was in it for the money, nothing else! Easy life being given 10+% of everyone’s hard earned money

  • xenathecat1 xena the cat (@xenathecat1) reported

    Hooman is finding new things out living in this small town. The big Tesco extra doesn't open before 7am, Amazon, deliveroo, just eat etc don't deliver here, there's no buses after 6.30om & the tv and mobile signal is very poor. Hooman can only get 45 freeview channels here.

  • BlakeAntcliff Blake Antcliff (@BlakeAntcliff) reported

    @BBCNews Not just villagers, occasionally try my TV and still can't get a signal (have freesat so not that much of an issue) My Dad has BT Youview box that he barely knows how to use and no Freeview channels at all.
