  • 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…

    @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.

    @FreeviewTV Hello. Is there a problem with Freeview reception in the London CR7 region?

  • katy_whitton Katy (@katy_whitton) reported

    And talk about being late to the party in December 2021 it was announced that Channel 5 had joined the organisation responsible for Freeview and Freesat, Digital UK, becoming the last of the UK's major Public Service Broadcasters to join the body 15/

    @kieronmirch @TheNewsDesk It really doesn’t look or sound amazing on freeview. I’m not sure I can watch if the quality stays like this, I’m used to seeing tv in HD not blurry with awful sound

  • deb_the_dj Deborah Marshall 💙 (@deb_the_dj) reported from Sandiacre, England

    @ExmoorOn Never thought to ask to be honest. Luckily I can get Radio Northampton on Freeview so at least I can listen in.

  • rchdnv Richard D (@rchdnv) reported

    Has anyone else solved the problem of watching @SkyArts on Samsung TV Plus? I'm starting to think that TV Plus ≠ Freeview is the problem.

  • Robert07493164 Robert (@Robert07493164) reported

    From June the 1st Freeview is switching off Now the cost of Living Now is the time to cancel your TV licence

  • games_nomad nomad (@games_nomad) reported

    @JennieStrife Digital freeview is still transmitted through aerials, so yeah they still work. You just need to have a freeview enabled TV or a set-top box, old TV's can't pick up the signal.

  • katy_whitton Katy (@katy_whitton) reported

    Bear in mind that the original Freeview (UK) group was launched back in 2002 so Channel 5 is only 20 or so years late Must have been all of that Public Service stuff they were organising which meant they couldn't join the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky 16/

  • DnyLdn Danny London (@DnyLdn) reported

    Or Freeview sucks.

  • DavidTippunmon David Richardson (@DavidTippunmon) reported

    @piersmorgan Nice to see you back on the box - and unfettered this time, but PLEASE could you get something done about the very poor quality of the Freeview channel? Picture quality very poor I'm afraid.
