    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

  • 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

    @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...😳

    If anyone needs a football fix Copenhagen are playing some other Danish club behind closed doors on Freeview 64...... is this what it’s come to😂

  • MiserableBlader Judas McCabe (@MiserableBlader) reported

    Shocked that @footballheaven had Donny on Freeview yesterday. No idea what digital radio is like in Sheffield area but I can confirm that even awful MW is more reliable than FM in many parts of Sheffield and freeview is the only way to get audible commentaries for many #sufc

  • haydenraw Hayden Raw (@haydenraw) reported

    Would be cool if @vodafoneNZ did a software update on the VodafoneTV units just prior to them being **** down that turned them into an untethered Freeview/internet TV hub.

  • Ajkiwi AJ Johnson (@Ajkiwi) reported

    Wait. I've been talking to workmates, & it turns out that people who don't have vodafoneTV (RIP) or old mysky: (a) watch freeview LIVE with ADVERTS (wtf) (b) or ONLY watch things on streaming (c) and just accept they can't record+rewind TV (d) use an aerial or sat dish. REALLY?

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    The 80m temporary mast at Bilsdale has blown down. So no @Freeview. We did tell them it gets windy up there.

  • LaughtonAlan Alan Bromley (@LaughtonAlan) reported

    @freesat_tv The problem is that the new FreeSat boxes are CRAP. We gave up on ours and just watch Freeview

  • OsullivanUk Mike O'Sullivan (@OsullivanUk) reported

    @googlenesthelp Hey Google... No, nothing like that at all. Just an old (Humax) Freeview recorder, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and a (non-smart) Panasonic blu-ray player. All powered off at time of issue. Couple of other people raised it as issue a few days ago on the Google TV forum also.

  • colinm65290743 colin_m (@colinm65290743) reported

    @GBNEWS @GBNEWS Are you aware the lip sync on Freeview has been really bad this evening? I hope it can be fixed.

  • GaryHop08757275 Gary Hopkins (@GaryHop08757275) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice postcode YO30 6ED not receiving freeview signal. Has bilsdale transmitter failed sgain???

  • queenb57330198 queenb (@queenb57330198) reported

    @Van7212 I did the same a while ago, much cheaper to get the streaming services you want and an excellent broadband service. The kids were fine, they never watch anything live. sky news etc are on freeview anyway.
