    @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…

  • genders_jason Jason Genders (@genders_jason) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @madaboutHolly @Lee_JM75 Who's watching this bad boy on Freeview channel 70 ,Horror, right now😁💩💩💩

  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    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.

    @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.

    @JackEDavies Hi, Jack. Sorry to hear that you're having problems with Freeview Play. What's happening when you're trying to use the service? Fraser

  • Jamesalk3 James Wilkinson (@Jamesalk3) reported

    Oh joy. The United game is on ITV4 which means there are two options for those with Freeview. Either watch on ITV4 SD, which has arguably the worst picture quality of any channel, or stream with a major delay on their awful @ITVX app.

  • Guy21Nerdy Joshua (@Guy21Nerdy) reported

    @niall_gooch 5 USA (Way down on freeview). Seems to be on as a double bill at weekends, so probably one to record.

  • thelmarouge thelmarouge🗨 (@thelmarouge) reported

    @Starrygem4 Web said page not available. Thanks anyway Diane. The annoying thing is, I already registered months ago, but recently sign in came up for every prog and its so frustrating. I don't get tv reception where I live, so can't watch on freeview. Why do we have to sign in at all?

  • ThisIsKateL Kate (@ThisIsKateL) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam please give your engineers better training. Twice in the last year they've disconnected my entire block of flats from the (freeview) aerial when connecting someone to Sky Q, it's taking me months and ££ to fix their mistakes.

  • stormcab stormcab (@stormcab) reported

    @journeymanstev1 Dumped years ago. Just get freeview HD. All those 100s of extra channels you never watch anyway

  • Starrygem4 DianeB ♀️ (@Starrygem4) reported

    @AdamT_78 @virginmedia Yep. Just had the same email...mine is going up £12. I've only got basic TV package. I can get those channels on freeview. Its worse! From Apr 2024 because we know the rate is going up regularly at the same time every year by RPI +3.9% we won't have the 'right to cancel' 😡

  • Humour_ous Animal the return (@Humour_ous) reported

    @SKYNZ have you changed your neon platform for streaming its gone very slow & clunky for menu and such, my freeview/netflix/prime/skysportnow all good just your ap. My previous subscription verging on ending, was keen on continuing but now?

  • zeekidvicious 𝔃𝓮𝓮 (@zeekidvicious) reported

    @FoxyLustyGrover lol, this happens to us as well (we only have freeview), it starts to cut out when there's heavy rain. On Friday it cut out for the longest time it ever has o_O

  • GladiatrixRedux Gladiatrix52 (@GladiatrixRedux) reported

    @JamesTurner37 OK, having done this myself: yes you can access e g., BBC via a Firestick OR you can buy a smart TV that already has the terrestrial channels and Anazon etc installed. You may require an aerial for Freeview depending on the local signal. 1/
