  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

    You don’t realise how awful freeview is until your waiting for the sky man to come to your house 🥴

  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

    @EE I am SO DISAPPOINTED Wth the Signal of My EE Samsung Fe20 5G Mobile indoors DL14 9UH. 40% is One Bar to NIL, CONSTANTLY. Despite Alleged Improvements.The TV Freeview ALSO Constantly Drops Out. YET Signal, without using the HUMAX FREEVIEW BOX is Fine. What IS HAPPENING??

  • wrobexee1 Mike Weir (@wrobexee1) reported

    @TVNZ @ThreeNewZealand are you guys aware of the issue with Freeview in Southland? Pixilation and sound drop out. All Channels all of the time. I have tried to report to Freeview, but after 4 emails and no response back after a week, thought I would see if you have any clout.

  • picstoview HotPics.... (@picstoview) reported

    @BrawBandHome @CityFibre Come on how much longer for fixing the Glasgow / Renfrewshire outage. Can’t get online at all other than my limited mobile data. No freeview so need Internet to work from home or watch TV 😡🤬

  • roasty88 Ryan McVeigh (@roasty88) reported

    @bread1970 @aewboro123 @Fightful Tbh ain't a bad deal ayozat is available on sky or through their app or website for anyone in the UK for free so availability is about as good as you get without being on freeview and as mentioned if they do well then a Freeview channel could pick them up at a later date.

  • sharepointalex Alex Clark @ Microsoft (@sharepointalex) reported

    Does anyone know if you remove a Virgin Media TV package but keep the broadband whether the TiVo box continues to receive a signal for freeview use? Thanks!

  • haylsbb Hayley (@haylsbb) reported

    can’t believe the state of morning tv at the moment. staying at my dads so we only have freeview channels, we ended up watching something called “dress to impress” which is a dating show where you have to decide who to date based on outfits they chose for you. ******** is this?!

  • LukeN100 LukeN (@LukeN100) reported

    @WolfieSmiffed @BBCNews You can't cancel broadcasters on Freeview. You can just watch another service instead

  • Canis63 Old Nick.💙 (@Canis63) reported

    Hmm, loads of my freeview channels are nothing but fuzzy static but the HD versions are fine. Anyone else got that problem?

  • peteramblingon Peterf 🇺🇦 (@peteramblingon) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice 21:15 5th July, no Freeview service on my Smart TV. Error msg 'not available. Other streaming services (Youtube, Prime and Netflix) all operating perfectly so not a problem with internet connection

  • murrayhead84 John Murray (@murrayhead84) reported

    @conorleeson @VodafoneIreland They cut RT a few months back, and understandably Cut Disney for cost reasons. Generally a good service but it is diminishing gradually while other services are offering more to subscibers. No music offerings and Children's TV they offer all avail on Freeview or FreeSat already
