    Usually use my actual Freeview but think the temperamental weather is causing a few breaking up issues. 🙄😒 Definitely think I'm in a bit of a delay. #BeyondParadise

  • pam_cabot Pamela Cabot (@pam_cabot) reported

    Pam's Pick of the TV GUIDE: 'Doctor Zhivago' 1965 Directed by David Lean. Starring Omar Sharif (once seen never forgotten) 🥰 On @BBCTwo at 13:15 Not seen it for a while. No adverts & Subtitles - Always a plus. P.S. I keep to Freeview channels as I don't have Netflix, Sky etc 📺

  • Toasty83 Dean (@Toasty83) reported

    @creag123 @goldchannel Absolutely agree, Gold would be a great addition, Sure it's not the same channel it used to be, But there could be a fix, Extend the gold brand to drama, Include gold comedy. And gold itself in its original form to Freeview, with the spin offs left with subscription TV

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    @colin1951uk The investment is partly in hogging empty Freeview channel numbers in the 60s,70s and 80s, so if anyone wants to launch a new service and doesn't want bumping off to the 90s on the channel list, they'll have to strike an EPG trade deal, earning That's TV a nice sum of money.

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    @markisawimp @garyb007 Signal should be the same as before (same frequency, same transmitter). Your TV may have added a weaker copy from a relay in the 800s. You'll probably have to do a full retune, that'll ensure you have all the latest Freeview channel updates.

    What ******** is up with Freeview tonight?

  • FreeViewing FreeViewing (@FreeViewing) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice You seem to have blocked this account from contributing advice to Freeview users who have not been advised that Freeview is fundamentally flawed and they are being forced to pay for a service that can never be reliable. This may not end well...

    @JellyTotPixel @bbcmtd It's the signal not the equipment that's causing the problem even with HD freeview this problem still happens in some areas of the UK, where I live you can't get it with a portable HD receiver, I have to use satellite. as Freeview don't work well.

  • M0YMJ Paul Coppin (@M0YMJ) reported from Worcester Park, England

    Freeview in Kent down at present. Anyone else have the same problem

  • sliderulesyou Juliet Brando (@sliderulesyou) reported

    Had a touch of the sads earlier, but watching Mrs Merton and Malcolm at 2am on a weird channel a long way down the Freeview and, by Christ, the writing is good. Quietly ingenious.
