    Any good freeview IPTV providers in the UK? My grandparents TV is really slow loading the guide, it takes 10 seconds. Also apps like Netflix and Prime never went above 1080p. Constantly had wifi issues. So we got a firestick …

  • ParmaleeWes WesParmalee (@ParmaleeWes) reported

    @TheDoctor2058 @arqiva My experience is that they never ever respond to people here...but perhaps they will DM you. I'd suggest calling the Freeview number for advice if you dint hear back over the weekend. Hope that helps.

  • AmyTeamLH Amy-Stream Eternal Love! (@AmyTeamLH) reported

    Of course the high pressure around the UK currently would be playing up with our TV signal. Honestly 😑 #Freeview

  • teweybear Sharon Tew (@teweybear) reported

    Any tv tech savvy bids on here? Parents tv is badly pixelating channels through digi-box but fine through Freeview. Replaced box and leads and tried a signal blocking filter with no success. Any ideas? #bt #techsupport

    @SherrieHewson @Jamitay1977 then its Freeview thats to blame, its signal now its moved it s**t.... gov made it move chanel for 5g - mine pixalating all the time!

  • king4856 Paul King (@king4856) reported

    @FreeviewTV Great news for those who can get any channels still zero at YO624LE and I read in the paper it could be two months before a signal is relayed from Bilsdale : you at freeview should hang your heads in shame 😡😡😡

  • RobGooders Gooders (@RobGooders) reported

    In the interests of fairness, I should say that as disappointing as BT's service was yesterday, it got better today. I'm back online & have some subscription channels but none of the freeview ones as there's no aerial here and they use a sub-contractor to do that, currently AWOL

  • A5h1984 Ashley Dunscombe-Isaac (@A5h1984) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi Anne. Thanks for the input but I don't believe whether or not it's connected to the aerial is the issue here as it's a group of apps that are affected not just the Freeview one. If the Freeview app was opening ok but then saying it needs an update then I would borrow one

  • DanielB11739018 Daniel Butler (@DanielB11739018) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I have a question about the freeview tv signal. I've had four different tvs in my flat. The only thing on in the background really is @SkyNews but the tv will always ⚡ tick loudly on seemingly things of interest. Its like a form of intelligence that drives me crazy. Is it signal

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @JohnMac87014501 @HXValley Are you in a problem signal area there, John? There is a Freeview helpline. Might be worth chat in case they can help? Freeview advice line on 03456 505050

  • BendyCuteness Abby Addison (@BendyCuteness) reported

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @getback39 All the updates we have are available on the Freeview website. I'm not aware of any issues that would happen in winter due to it being a temporary transmitter. Anne

    @terrychristian @GBNEWS Terry, did you know there are people leaving the freeview channel GBNews on all day to, "help it's (sic.) ratings" ? I knew a lot of Britons are very thick, but this is some next-level of dense. #DumbBritain

  • Mathew94379832 Mathew (@Mathew94379832) reported
