  • 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

  • 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...😳

  • Raxor1Robin Robin Taylor (At home 🏡) (@Raxor1Robin) reported

    @JellyTotPixel @bbcmtd It's the signal not the equipment that's causing the problem even with HD freeview this problem still happens in some areas of the UK, where I live you can't get it with a portable HD receiver, I have to use satellite. as Freeview don't work well.

  • damoxl Damo (@damoxl) reported

    @Mark_P0x0n @LucyMPowell But I might want to watch something on freeview that requires adverts & a properly costed budget to fund (not BBC) So why should I pay for the BBC when their model is at best a tax on live TV of any sort? This is where the BBC falls down in the modern era, it's simply outdated

  • UnknownDB64 Ben (@UnknownDB64) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi iv just brought a new tv it has freeview play iv plugged in a internal Aerial but it’s not finding any channel when doing a full retune please help thanks

  • TkoCymon Cymon Humphries (@TkoCymon) reported

    @GRALCreates @tvukzone Stop tweeting crap . It has an ofcom license is available on satellite & freeview so that’s your answer.

  • G8CYK G8CYK (@G8CYK) reported

    @Chris_Hill_Bsc @FreeviewAdvice It's not really good enough is it? But Freeview was never going to work reliably once most of the broadcast spectrum was sold to cellular companies. The BBC, Freeview and Ofcom have a major problem and are basically forcing everyone to use online.

  • Susie_Soapsuds Susie (Contains Nuts) 🇺🇦 (@Susie_Soapsuds) reported

    Is anyone else having problems with #freeview ? It says no problem but there's no signal at all,been going on for days.

  • BBCNorfolk BBC Radio Norfolk (@BBCNorfolk) reported

    Phew! Another *very* close finish, but a win today in Gayton with about 65 seconds to spare! Well done all! Sorry again about the problems on FM - the engineers are working on it. Don't forget you can listen online or on Freeview channel 719.

  • mikeasharp Mike Sharp (@mikeasharp) reported

    @Channel4 can you fix the uplink. England match keeps going pixelated like it does on a satellite feed. Watching on Freeview HD

  • 1Spookybooks Spookybooks (@1Spookybooks) reported

    @newt_kiters I guess when I get round to actually get sky, I won’t need a dish or a set-top box or anything. I’m assuming it will come straight through the TV through the Internet. The trouble is I don’t watch a lot of TV I’m usually listening to music or out walking. Only Freeview

  • WhispersAngel Rosie needs a new Hip, not a Jab Matthew (@WhispersAngel) reported

    What ******** is up with Freeview tonight?
