    @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...😳

    @drewhill79 @VodafoneUK @MattJConnor @StHKHIS Same here. BT got the 150 mb and it flies. Good support and I stream everything!! Don’t even have normal freeview.

    @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

    Another stupid idea is the 2034 plan to turn off Freeview. In no way will rural broadband be up to providing reliable services by then..the same applies to FM/MW radio. It's ridiculous meanness dressed up as 'progress' @SarahChampionMP @KarlTurnerMP @lukeakehurst

  • Undercover_mole
    Red Moon 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 🍁 🇬🇱 (@Undercover_mole) reported

    @GBNEWS Problem is Freely isn't free.... You need a broadband connection costing you tens of pounds per month. Where as Freeview and Freesat are actually free to view.

    @DarranPearce @DJL78 Instead the BBC flood the screens with antiques, quizzes, property programmes and we don't have a choice as to whether to pay the licence fee or not! Call me old-fashioned, but TV was much better years ago and most of the Freeview channels are sheer crap!

    @BBCDerbySport Hi guys, anyone else had a problem trying to watch or listen to the game today. Sky Sports through Virgin wasn’t working, channel 717 on Freeview was broadcasting Burton Albion, you can’t listen to it on BBC Sounds, I ended up in my car in this weather!

    @skytv got email survey re sky glass TV. Started it, but 2 long & tedious Basically love the TV, not the service Overcharged Netflix on 1st payment, never refunded despite promised Freeview much easier to use Freeview TV listings better - We're not interested in Sky channels

    @Guyz20051 It's good. There are a more channels than Freeview but, unless you're into obscure topics, you'll never watch them.

    @WhichUK For live events, internet speed isn’t everything. For reliability and lowest delay, broadcast TV still wins: Freeview, satellite or cable. Fibre streaming is great but usually behind “live”. 5G/4G/Starlink can work well, but depend more on signal, congestion and load.

    @leeburridge @panonse @premnsikka Freesat reception better than Freeview in many places all that we needs is a storm to roll over and old skool minecraft starts streaming then no signal.

  • Mrjbaines
    Mr J.Baines (@Mrjbaines) reported

    I hear that Live from The Apollo will end after its next run of shows. Shame that as I quite enjoyed it. The bbc say it’s down to low viewing figures and saving £. Problem is that the BBC allows multiple episodes to be repeated on Freeview/iplayer channels at regular intervals.

    I’m staying at daughters this week and their internet is down and off until after 9 tonight. How is this going to work when they remove freeview especially for the oldies when it’s there only company in life. Mad idea.
