  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @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.

  • 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.

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

    @Mr_Sanch We have ours separate to have more flexibility. We just took out broadband with virgin for £24 a month for 100/mbps (I think) and then just use Freeview plus our Roku and other streaming apps for the rest of our tv. Rather than paying for channels we never use..

    @ebdxo Do you have access to it? If you don’t have access to satellite TV, you don’t need a license. But if you have freeview or anything where you could watch the BBC then you still need it. It’s ****, I barely ever watch BBC 🙄

  • Bern1ee Bern1e (@Bern1ee) reported

    @pwsimerimiaw @_AngelLady_ @JeremyVineOn5 We don’t have a dishwasher, use my mother’s washing machine, don’t have sky or Netflix,just basic freeview, never buy coffee (we both hate it) only get one takeaway a month which is on two for tuesdays on dominos. Haven’t been on holiday since I was 18.. don’t tar us all...

    @kevinsteergram @BBCTwo @sky We've had this problem for a few days too on Freeview. Also in Wales.

    my freeview doesnt have good enough signal strength for non-bbc channels aarrurghhghghbgh

  • lobwinners Michael (@lobwinners) reported

    @SaraelisGarvey Exactly! All of the radio stations are playing slow/sensitive music, 4 of the 5 main tv stations are playing special programming. We have 24 hour news on freeview for this. It’s way too much

  • harriet_austin Harriet Austin (@harriet_austin) reported

    @btbusinesscare as a new customer very disappointed with the customer service I have been receiving. Following a 2 weeks wait to receive WiFi and broadband, Freeview channels do not work despite reassurance it would with the WiFi connected. When we called the...1/2

  • Emwold1 Maz (@Emwold1) reported

    @peter4buckley I hardly ever watch TV, just Gogglebox or the odd rare temptation, so never bothered with more than Freeview. I prefer reading, with the radio on. But not today...

  • geordiechris48 Chris Johnson (@geordiechris48) reported

    @CourtTVUK Freeview picture breaking up. Seems to be ok on satellite. Are you having problems with Ch 89 or might it be a more localised transmitter problem?

  • BenRattigan77 Ben Rattigan 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 💉 𝙉𝙃𝙎 💙 (@BenRattigan77) reported

    @virginmedia That £70 being for broadband which is on average about 20Mbps and TiVO box that has less channels than Freeview. The TiVO box is about 5/6 year old and has been crap slow since day one.
