    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

    @BootstrapCook I did this for my mum after she had a falling out with all the cable/phone companies. Had to get a booster areal but got all the freeview channels and just went weird and pixelated in very bad weather!

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

  • _LoneWolf_ Paul (@_LoneWolf_) reported

    @SkyUK Looking at your deals, new customer deals, I need some information that I can't find online. Where can I find out monthly costs after initial 18 months? I found broadband after 18 months (£35.50 for what I picked) but not monthly TV costs - basic channels, freeview.

  • HollyChristma11 Holly Christmas (@HollyChristma11) reported

    Why is TV so utterly ****? Freeview? Supposed to be 700 Channels. And 695 of them are Totally ******* Unwatchable! The other 5 consist of Repeats or Adverts! And they want you to pay £156 Quid for a TV License? NOT A CHANCE!

    @TiceRichard @TalkTV GB NEWS on freeview 236 and this on 237! After a few pints mistake could be made switching between the two. Viewers will not know difference though with bad continuity, shouting guests and online guests going off line nothing to do with alcohol!

  • stanfordswhines Paul Stanford (@stanfordswhines) reported

    @piersmorgan yes I'm rather unimportant, however I was excited by the announcement of your new channel on freeview 237. Sadly, the picture quality seems poor and I was further saddened by your introduction, which was somewhat

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

  • mansh21 Mandy S (@mansh21) reported
