    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • _MrRLC Richard Cox (@_MrRLC) reported

    @FreeviewTV Is there a problem with the BBC channels on Freeview? We lost them mid afternoon (Weak or No Signal) and when we returned the TV, we lost them altogether. We have all of the other channels.

  • RichieUK_TTV RichieUK (@RichieUK_TTV) reported

    @NOWMusic Hey if you insist in having a music channel on Freeview can you please make sure the audio bitrate doesn’t sound garbage? The compression is painful

  • EddieOK4 Eddie OK (@EddieOK4) reported

    ...WARNING... @SkyHelpTeam got a new SkyQ box and multi room fitted yesterday afternoon, already it is not working! They claim this is the best technology ever, it's not, they just want your money. Stick with freeview people or go to an alternative supplier.

    @SportsCarChamp @FreeSports_TV I HOPE SIGNALS BETTER THAN THE CRAP ONE ON FREEVIEW!!!

    Olivia giving Ruby a stern dressing-down is something that I would pay non-Freeview money to see. #MadeInChelsea

  • chrismlburleigh Chris M L Burleigh (@chrismlburleigh) reported

    @TreeHouseBkshop I feel I'm missing out on this too, but I've always relied on Freeview. There's more TV than I can spend time watching, so I've never seen the point of paying for content I'll never get around to viewing - until now!
