    @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...😳

  • DiamondClasp Diamonds 💙 (@DiamondClasp) reported

    @StephenMangan @8twinge @SkyArts But you can't get Freeview on a laptop... (We don't have a tv signal here so have to stream everything)

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    The incident originally resulted in a Freeview multiplex configuration glitch when E4 was broadcast in place of S4C in Wales. During the last 24 hours, ITV and Channel 5 have been glitching in some regions while other services on the multiplex were fine.

  • essexloko74 Gunner74 (@essexloko74) reported

    @KayBurley @OliverDowden Don’t know about cancelling Christmas but certainly be cancelling sky. only problem is sky News is on Freeview can’t get away from this ****. #switchoffskynews

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    On 25th September, C4 had to abandon its usual regionalised distribution following the Red Bee Media incident. Since then, on Freeview, services have been running on lower bitrates. On satellite, fixed bitrates have been used. Both contributing to picture issues.

  • TheDoctor2058 Anthony 🏳️‍🌈🎵 (@TheDoctor2058) reported

    so according to the freeview website a majority of people will get the signal back on wednesday. Whether or not that includes yours truly is a matter of time.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Problems with ITV on Freeview do appear to be linked to the assembling of the D3&4 multiplex.

  • sunkisscribbles Joy 🏳️‍🌈 (@sunkisscribbles) reported

    @ScrumptiousBlue Ahh OK, I just don't want my account deleted so that's a bit reassuring - thanks. Been asking them for help for 10 days but they won't reply, no idea why. Dr Pimple Popper - isn't that on Freeview?

  • joeylk71 Joanne Gray (@joeylk71) reported

    @LauGoesToLondon Does it help improve your Freeview signal? I'm due my third dose sometime this month (hopefully)

  • alb7892 adam (@alb7892) reported
