    @madaboutHolly @Lee_JM75 Who's watching this bad boy on Freeview channel 70 ,Horror, right now😁💩💩💩

    @piersmorgan It’s a Tory cut to a public service! Let’s not turn this into a BBC hate fest as Twitter seems to do at every opportunity. As a nation I believe we are willing to see an increase in the licence fee to subsidise those who are struggling, Freeview would still be most affordable TV.

    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.

    @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…

    Anyone having problems with broadband & TV from @virginmedia in London? Getting error codes CS3300, CS2004. TV picture starts flickering & either wifi drops or runs very slowly! Freeview is fine. Not getting the service we paid for!

  • adamhunt1984 adam hunt (@adamhunt1984) reported

    @FreeviewTV my freeview has gone down

  • TJStamp TJ Stamp (@TJStamp) reported

    @jaredspx @natehiggins Tried several… freeview, freesat, YouTube, TikTok… all are bad but iPlayer is best in class at the moment.

  • JAQKpanda ♦♠JAQK♥♣🐼Vtuber! (@JAQKpanda) reported

    @KatiKnitt That really sucks. We have the TV license here in the UK, but if you don't actually consume "live TV" (BBC, freeview, live sports, etc.) then you don't actually have to pay for it; in my case, all I use is YT, Twitch & stream subs. Shocking and aggravating that you're forced to!

  • StuartDillon1 Stuart Dillon #COYI (@StuartDillon1) reported

    @jonesy_nb I liked Norway's. I was watching it on Freeview but I've lost the signal so watching it on iplayer as well

  • David__Brunt David Brunt (@David__Brunt) reported

    @pipmadeley I've got the same problem. On the backup freeview aerial so it's not urgent to fix. Local firm I queried with is callout at £50 to cover for up to an hour. Parts and repair £20 on top. If it's a long job you could be looking at £100+.

  • Bicycle_Nuts Bicycle Nuts (@Bicycle_Nuts) reported

    @JohnBalley1 Young people don't watch broadcast TV, so it's nothing to do with you getting old. BTW I cancelled my liscence because the freeview signal is so bad. I hardly know anyone who wastes money on a TV liscence these days.

  • tinopener1 tinopener (@tinopener1) reported

    @soniasodha @SkyNews @anitabboateng There's no magic money tree. You'll never get on GB News (freeview 236) unless you can comment practically on these issues.

  • Stephen_Neal Stephen Neal (@Stephen_Neal) reported

    @nigelwUK @MatthewMarks42 @bobdvb Odd. It must be doing a 5.1->2.0 PCM fold-down rather than a 5.1 PCM output I guess. There is no stereo on Freeview HD when 5.1 is being broadcast. (On satellite there is a parallel stereo audio description feed)
