    @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…

    @FreeviewAdvice Rouncefall transmitter reporting fault since 24/12/20 00:14 with no Freeview signal in this area. Please would you investigate and report fix status, thank you

  • NorthernLefty Working Class Zero (@NorthernLefty) reported

    I'm not a materialistic person. Got my cream liqueur, got Devil Wears Prada on Freeview (why pay for TV when it's free?!) a roof over my head and the heating on. That is far far greater than many have or will have. Will never understand folks who need the best of the best.

  • wiganshale john shale (@wiganshale) reported

    @virginmedia @Ofcom just to let you know that tivo is still freezing up, whilst my wife is watching it and that your only solution is to turn it off and on is not an appropriate response. take the tivo away and deduct from my bundle and I'll get a Freeview box.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @RyanDrinkwater2 If the TV upstairs is receiving Freeview OK and is running off the same aerial, then it is likely the cabling/connections or splitter. Try a different coaxial cable, or try tuning in the working TV in on this room to see if the issue persists. Thanks.

    FREEVIEW : My oh my, what a load of utter garbage is prevalent on freeview now, the number of repeats is totally unacceptable and the commercial breaks are getting longer and longer, as long as 20 MINUTES would you believe, and as for the shopping channels, too much junk

    @Iromg @talkRADIO Congratulations. We switched when LBC parted company with Nigel Farage. Rarely watch tv news these days. Moving to DAB+ not good, only own 1 radio that picks you up. A channel on Freeview might help

  • CloughRoy roy clough (@CloughRoy) reported

    @kategarraway @skytv I would think even if problem with Sky take the aerial lead out of back of sky box and plug into back of tv get you freeview at least, won't solve wi-fi I accept.

  • giselle97 Giselle #FBPE 🕷 (@giselle97) reported

    @FreeviewTV Why does Freeview say there are no problems with either Sandy Heath or Belmont transmitter when the whole of my local neighbourhood has no signal reception at all?

  • Huriye Huriye (@Huriye) reported

    @michaelhogan I'm reading from @New_Adventures that @SkyArts is now on Freeview channel 11, but when I tune in, it's still Pick channel. Any help please?

    @back_the_BBC If the TV licence were to be decriminalised the only way to shore up BBC income would be some form of subscription even if only top up. A key problem, for government is that the #Freeview platform is, er, free, with the technology not currently supporting encryption for payments
