    @UtchStokie @sailingbikeruk I have this problem every week. When MW frequency was available Stoke were always on Freeview. Since that went they're always on FM hence I can't listen nor is Sounds available.

  • hqbinders TomR 🔸🇪🇺💙 (@hqbinders) reported

    @Go4gold100 Not Freeview any more, but we can on Freesat. Might not be any help.

  • MarkLeicester7 MarkLeicester (@MarkLeicester7) reported

    @cjayanetti @CarefulTweeter Not sure about that. I have never sat down one evening to go online & watch it, but if it was on Freeview and there was nothing else on then I might channel hop onto it for a bit. It's niche, but unlike the right with their countless options, there's not much else similar.

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie 🇺🇦 (@Brekkietweets) reported

    Any news on when BBC4/CBeebies HD will return to Freeview? Seems odd to have such a problem at last minute given the space for another HD channel has theoretically been on the mux for over a year and Arqiva are forever squeezing in extra channels to their SD muxes.

    @ITV @skytv is there a problem with channel 103 itv1 on sky tv and also on freeview .,., sounds been cutting out all day ,, not just with me ??? Gillingham Kent ME7 AND Also CT5 Whistable Kent,,

  • Peter_Mugridge Peter Mugridge (@Peter_Mugridge) reported

    @Saltbar Good God no - I watch on a proper TV with Freeview and only very, very, rarely watch something on whatever channel's iPlayer service it is - and then only if it's something I miss when it's broadcast and I didn't record it either. Is that what you're doing? Online only viewing?

    @eboyde Hi Eimear, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • CatIpswich Toby the Cat (Ipswich) (@CatIpswich) reported

    @ModernCassie Never knew it existed. Who will screen it on Freeview?

  • PaulCarmichaelV Paul Carmichael (@PaulCarmichaelV) reported

    @AndyCla05536869 @vimfuego1234 @PrisonPlanet programming (all offset by big profitable productions). Then we add maintaining the infrastructure of Freeview and FreeSat (how the poor and elderly traditionally access television). Oh & writing the scripts. And directing the shows. And editing them. Yeah, sure you could. (2/2)

  • MarkLanzarote MarkLanzarote (@MarkLanzarote) reported

    @ImmuneNaturally @LozzaFox @TalkTV Yup its **** on freeview atm

  • Mathe_Musician MatheMusician (@Mathe_Musician) reported

    @aryomjapes @Beccabell05 @katemassey77 The beloved just records them & deletes the adverts if we might want to watch it again, or just fast forwards thro' them if not. We *never* see adverts because we never watch anything live. (Also only watch freeview 'cos there's more than enough to watch on there.)

  • fatch_phil Fatch 💙 🇮🇪 🇮🇲 🇬🇧 (@fatch_phil) reported

    Freeview TV is so **** I have resorted to watching #longlostfamily Same theme every programme so nothing new to see. Switch on radio. Licence fee money is spent on sport throughout the summer.

  • shugiehughie Hugh (@shugiehughie) reported

    @WeaverRacing @Scotracing @pigeon_island I didn’t know Paul O’Grady was a radio DJ ! . Where I live on Freeview TV we loose our Radio 1 and 2 signal daily from 4pm . Comes on again midnight so what shows and presenters are on between these times are alien to me !!

    @rachii1979 @FairyLucindalu Radio commentary is on Freeview, Channel 720, never remember it being available through my TV but tonight it is so huzzah, COYB
