  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @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😁💩💩💩

  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @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.

    You don’t realise how awful freeview is until your waiting for the sky man to come to your house 🥴

  • 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.

  • TomPoole007 Tom Poole (@TomPoole007) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.

    @Traceyspacey1 Odd. Tho. In the olde days when I had Freeview in the house, a) the Freeview folks were surprised I could get it at all for where i was, but b) we picked up a transmitter near Scunthorpe. I never got local radio at all, it was always Yorkshire based. So definitely consistent!

  • etmuse Erin (@etmuse) reported

    @burntcopper if your aerial is crap then I think freeview would also struggle as regular freeview is through the aerial. And you can get freeview boxes that can record.

  • pijayess Pete Suters ◉○○ ✨ (@pijayess) reported

    @Trash_Panda_C Voyager and TOS on Horror Channel and DS9 on Pick - every week night. Not bad for standard freeview TV.

  • richard_of_yore ℜ𝔦𝔠𝔥𝔞𝔯𝔡 𝔬𝔣 𝔜𝔬𝔯𝔢 (@richard_of_yore) reported

    @Outside_Margina @Channel4 Try obtaining Film on 4 or other channels with a 4 in the name on Freeview. Technical problems are ongoing.

  • Joe__Monty Joe (@Joe__Monty) reported

    Is anyone's Freeview still not working in Teesside? Getting ridiculous now.

  • tiggerwheeks Anna (@tiggerwheeks) reported

    @cpresland74 @Channel4 Same on freeview and recordings are terrible - cmon @Channel4 pls sort your sound out on HD and HD recordings.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    (/2) ...you risk losing your Sky EPG slot, at least temporarily. Note that E4+1 is showing an off air caption on Freeview, but it's running normally on satellite. If it was the other way, there would be trouble.

  • Nolascana Mitani Hart (@Nolascana) reported

    @redial999 @MayerAgain @tvlicensing * I am aware of freeview, but frankly that service is shockingly bad in some areas, to the point where BBC itself isn't available in bad weather, which, frankly defeats the point. On a good day there's like...8 channels broadcast from tower the aerial is pointed at.

  • PATVOne1 P.A.T.V. Scunthorpe (@PATVOne1) reported

    @FlissWolf @E4Tweets It also depends on how and where you’re watching. I understand Freeview viewers may be seeing the broken feed in certain areas, while satellite and cable are on the back up. Watching catch up content on All4 is fine, it’s just the live streams that are showing the broken feeds.

    @FreeviewAdvice @ukdtt Hi. Apparently there was a technical issue at the playout centre at the weekend and they're currently trying to restore services. On Freeview, E4 +1 is off air with 4Music showing The Box. Wishing you a nice day. - Matthew.
