  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

  • kirstxxiv kirstylouise (@kirstxxiv) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

    @HisenseUK Hi, I have a A7100F TV but when trying to use Channelbox or VisionTV on freeview it says "Not Available" - can you help?

  • dazzalaa17 Dazzalaa (@dazzalaa17) reported

    @Yorkshire_Pics @arqiva Worst service provider I've ever come across. They can't prove basic software solutions to smets2 smart meters and on top of that they they can't provide a reliable steaming service on Freeview. How on earth were they awarded the contract to provide these services is beyond me!

  • StephenAFenwick Stephen Fenwick (@StephenAFenwick) reported

    This morning our broadband got cut off because my bank updated my card details in the ‘TV’ slot, and not the ‘broadband’ slot of my ISP’s system. Apparently Manuel is running Santander and Baldrick is running my ISP. I don’t have a TV package. We never have 🙄 we use Freeview.

    So you let me fill out the complaint form then conveniently wouldn't let me submit it. I've now cancelled membership and the @NOWTV @NOWTVHelp sticks are going in the bin. What's the point, may as well watch Freeview & ITV catch up. Did you intend to lose all your customers?!
