    @FreeviewTV over the last 4/5 days I have lost a large number of Freeview channels, despite having repeatedly retuned I can't get them back and not sure what has happened, can you help please? - i'm covered by the Sandy Heath transmitter

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    I notice the Red Button text service isn't functioning on Freeview, Winter Hill transmitter.

  • CliveRoper Clive Roper (@CliveRoper) reported from Dalham, England

    @TalkTV Can you not improve the picture quality on Freeview?? Compared to (GBNews) it is awful.

  • MckL87 💚 (@MckL87) reported

    Folks what’s a good Freeview box that allows you to record? I’m currently paying £167 to sky and due to come to the end of my contract and going to cancel, I can’t get IPTV due to work purposes so what’s the best next thing that’s legit?

    @Lucindacutexx12 @LeonaLionheart7 @AdultWorkcom Yes if they're quick enough they can dip in and out without paying !! These new rules are stupid. I would never ever sit in Freeview. It's hard enough to make revenue and these rules are creating expectation that we should sit in free

    @petemorristwit Freesat has been rock solid transmission for approx 8 years that I’ve used it. Freeview was v poor reception in my area & would break up v frequently. Completely solved the issue. PVR with 500GB & twin tuner has proved v useful. Imho picture quality is better than Freeview too.

    @SkyHelpTeam Well done Sky When your box breaks down Freeview is not available Is it true that most people use "dodgy" boxes only I cannot understand why?

  • SebbieJ Seb (@SebbieJ) reported

    How is it in 2023 @BBCNews still can't show local news in HD on @FreeviewTV. What exactly are we paying for again? Every other paid TV service (netflix, prime, etc) is delivering in 4k and we're still getting most Freeview channels in 480p it's 1992.

  • FreddySky Freddy C. 🌈 🇮🇹🇪🇸🇵🇹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇩🇰🇫🇷 (@FreddySky) reported

    @jpxan71 @MasterChefUK Food network, on Sky it’s on 140, on freeview is channel 43.

  • GladiatrixRedux Gladiatrix52 (@GladiatrixRedux) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV there is a problem with your Encore service via Freeview. A programme playing via Encore will suddenly stop and whatever is showing live on Freeview starts playing. There is no way of getting back to the point reached before the stop either.
