    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!

    @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...😳

    @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

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

  • 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. 👍

  • DavidSwindells1 David Swindells (@DavidSwindells1) reported from Macclesfield, England

    @Prof_Quiteamess Oo that’s clever. My Freeview recorder has broken :(

  • 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

  • ewaniverse ewan (@ewaniverse) reported

    Bloody Freeview App on my telly decided to die so missed the first Italian goal. Wondering if free view app might be problem with itv hub. Chrome cast working fine though

  • julianfells Julian Fells (@julianfells) reported

    @henry_stleger @LGUK @techradar I’l confess U saw this excellent article, but feel it needs a wider audience. Now LG have fixed the issue for 2921 TVs there’s a danger they’ll forget about us (like Netcast). So please keep up the pressure on LG and Freeview to resolve this for 2030 LG TVs. Thanks!

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @a516digital It was almost as though the Freeview reception at work was trolling the people watching in the canteen the other day. Whenever something was about to happen the screen went black and "no signal" only to return when the exciting bit was over.

  • lnfinite_loop 𝓲𝓷𝓯𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓽𝓮 💙 (@lnfinite_loop) reported

    @EmmaKennedy @itv2 new digital freeview signal is crap in comparison to how it used to be transmitted...

  • peteprodge Pete Prodge (@peteprodge) reported

    @NoSpinZone_ @QuidVeritas A reach in a week of just a million is incredibly bad for a channel on Freeview, satellite and cable. No wonder Paw Patrol IN WELSH gets an audience over five times their size!

  • dazzalaa17 Dazzalaa (@dazzalaa17) reported

    @Yorkshire_Pics @arqiva Worst service provider I've ever come across. They can't prove basic software solutions to smets2 smart meters and on top of that they they can't provide a reliable steaming service on Freeview. How on earth were they awarded the contract to provide these services is beyond me!

  • sarahjaneparton Sarah Jane Teurakura Parton (@sarahjaneparton) reported

    Hey there, funny question: my folks have moved to Levin and they can’t get Māori TV to work on Freeview on their new TV. It just goes from channel 4 to channel 6 and no channel 15. My bro reckons you can’t get Māori TV everywhere due to reception issues. Is this true? Surely not?

  • dean_m_caldwell DEAN CALDWELL (@dean_m_caldwell) reported

    Do you know that out of 30 odd television channels on New Zealand's freeview. That there is only 4 - 5 mainstream channels. Out of these most popular channels. Most of the content is reality TV crap. I would love to see an old black and white 30s musical movie.

  • frazerjon fraser (@frazerjon) reported

    Heavy downpour has interrupted my sky signal. Had to go to freeview.

  • bl0ke a humorously-shaped potato (@bl0ke) reported

    @virginmedia I believe it's a V6 TiVo box. Output has always been quieter than the same channel on Freeview but trying to watch the film #Yesterday... uh.. yesterday.. was terrible. Had to set the TV to 90% to get a decent sound level.
