  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

  • fishinthedark1 fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

  • RDiz82 Dizzle🇳🇱 (@RDiz82) reported

    @virginmedia This is only part of the problem(s) here, they advised that a manager would call me back immediately, I last spoke to them on 1st May, once we knew we were getting charged £75 per month for Freeview. I really don't want to speak to an agent, I want a phone call from a manager

  • MarcAllen81 Marc Allen (@MarcAllen81) reported

    @vistaextra @Callumizatt @virginmedia Definitely a Virgin problem... all channels not just those. I've switched to freeview and it's fine.

  • jimswanstonlive Jimmy Swanston (@jimswanstonlive) reported

    @virginmedia @amelieroseeee It was sky having same issues so not just @virginmedia try watching freeview

  • TJStamp TJ Stamp (@TJStamp) reported

    @jaredspx @natehiggins Tried several… freeview, freesat, YouTube, TikTok… all are bad but iPlayer is best in class at the moment.

  • RDiz82 Dizzle🇳🇱 (@RDiz82) reported

    So @virginmedia, do you think it acceptable to have us, a loyal 9 year customer, who asked to downgrade, removing Sky Sports/Movies from the package to now having basic Freeview channels, but now charging us £75 PER MONTH for the so called privilege??

  • PaulSRobson PaulScott (@PaulSRobson) reported

    @Archie167 @RupertLowe10 Freeview has PPV built in. You can see the signal but you can't decode it.
