  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

    @gary_worden @cjssydney @cptcapitalg @FrogAlaPeche Poor people either don't have a TV or watch freeview.

  • 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!

  • bulldogbyrne julie byrne (@bulldogbyrne) reported from Hindley, England

  • 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

  • mal1eto Stuart Ross (@mal1eto) reported

    @TelegraphRugby @GavinMairs Wtf. No Freeview coverage. Channel 5, channel 4, l ITV, it's all going ppv wrong wrong wrong!

  • Shelle02 Michelle Hedley 💙 (@Shelle02) reported

    @LeeYates82 @virginmedia It is the same issue on the sky and freeview /freesat platforms. No subtitles on any of the 12 channel 4 channels and issues with BBC and Channel 5.

  • MixedRaceSpur Andrew (@MixedRaceSpur) reported

    @peter_perfect_ Oh big problem Saturday night affecting Four and Five and its sister channels. No sound, channels disappearing or static. I’ve never seen anything like it in the digital era. Freeview suffered worst.

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @JoshxReid @PATVOne1 @4Music They did move out of the music section on Sky a few years back to allow them to do this. Not an issue on Freeview with everything thrown in together. It is poor branding though - same with CBS Drama showing hours of Judge Judy.

  • jaco45er Jaco45er (@jaco45er) reported

    @dougmcfarlane41 @NickyAACampbell @bbc5live There was something on the radio the other day about claiming money from companies who don’t provide paid internet services after so many days. I guess freeview wouldn’t be included. What is the actual problem, have they said?

  • mylifeinwordsuk Lee-Mc (@mylifeinwordsuk) reported

    @virginmedia Just checked my bill, you are adding £24 a month, when I have zero usage on phone, basic 100mb fibre and basic mixit TV package which is paramount to freeview, sorry not getting fleeced by you, when you aren’t even providing a half decent service

  • willmgreenhalgh William Greenhalgh (@willmgreenhalgh) reported

    @Maxiwacks @Channel4 it more seems to affect channel 4 HD then certain programmes but it also seems to act differently depending on what service your using, such as satellite cable and freeview, or internet services which are mostly broken

  • cleanfeed_ttvr Clean Feed @ The TV Room (@cleanfeed_ttvr) reported

    PRESWATCH: Red Bee incident update: - E4+1 on Freeview has returned (DOGless). - @a516digital is reporting that E4, More4 and Film4 have returned on Freeview for the Waltham transmitter group (albeit no sound on Film4).

    @brinsmith1957 @FreeviewTV Hi Bryan, Apologies for the delay in response. Sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. Please DM Freeview Advice with your postcode, house name/number and we will look into this further for you. Melissa

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @Adam_Peterkin @htwcentral They've now got an apology on the Freeview guide for 4Music stating that they're showing The Box whilst they fix the fault. The Box is being shown with subtitles.
