  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

    @virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.

    Some Freeview viewers in the HG4 area have reported their channels freezing. Rescanning your TV with your aerial unplugged, then doing so again with the aerial plugged back in may help. For assistance call 0800 121 4828.

    @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

  • 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!

  • Churchill59 Graeme C. Halloway (@Churchill59) reported

    @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??

  • faulknerwolves Tat (@faulknerwolves) reported

    The wife said she wanted Chanel No.5 for her Birthday...... she'll be chuffed to ****, all I had to do was re-tune the Freeview box!!!

  • yabouhti Sheikh Yabouhti (@yabouhti) reported

    @GitGrumpygit Simple, CANCEL IT & use Freeview. Any organisation that shafts me that I can do without, gets cancelled and/or switched.

  • bobthe_dolphin 🐬 Bobs ar oglēm darbināms delfīns 🐬 (@bobthe_dolphin) reported

    @dontdoit61 Try an OS update. If you're streaming try 2.4 rather than 5ghz WiFi stream. Also if it's Freeview try attenuating the Ariel signal...

  • wrobexee1 Mike Weir (@wrobexee1) reported

    @Stuart_NashMP Speaking to an installer, he can confirm multiple people with the issue, some have spent good money themselves trying to fix. but its from the transmitter not their TVs. Freeview refuse to answer email enquiries. I ahve sent 3 requests with no response over a period of a week.

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    @Yeltzy @FreeviewAdvice @FreeSports_TV CBS Justice and CBS Drama was on COM6 until June 30th. CBS Drama has move to Local TV Mux - And the owners of CBS Justice has giving up it slot on Freeview but note CBS Justice is no longer broadcast on other network and slot being use for HorrorXtra. Freesports cant put sign..

  • RetiredBroker Sir George (@RetiredBroker) reported

    @artbookreviews I was aked to set up a freeview box for a friend. Never seen so many wires, gadgets, remotes. Ended up in a loft (no floor!) making friends with an aerial. I think they have 6 TV's but I lost count...
