  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

    @RupertLowe10 Even if Boris 'walks away', talks about rejoining will start the week after. This will never end until we do something about the enemy within. The only way to lessen their influence is to compel Freeview to allow some new TV channels, ones that are not controlled by the left.

    @__CharlotteB_ Hi Charlotte, The Freeview Play service should be working. In most cases, a full factory reset of the TV itself should fix this issue. If not, you may need to contact the manufacturer for further advice. Kind regards, Rick

    @HabberleySteve @dancludlow @ShirleyMadin1 Andrew Neil is fronting a new news broadcasting service in the New Year. Called GB News, I think! It's going to be on Freeview, which I can't get! I use Freesat.

  • poshfanupnorth Mark (@poshfanupnorth) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi, im having trouble receiving drama (channel 20 freeview) on all sets in my house. All other channels fine, although sometimes the picture breaks up on them.

    @MNotts19 @thefreepress2 @TheProleStar we only had our licence to watch PMQs...we cant get freeview signal here and stopped virgin tv too pricey and paying for so many free to air channels. After GE i stopped my licence and wrote official complaints. £12 a month better off!!

    @oitappin @Simon3470 Not lies. From the BBC "The BBC applies for grants to help fund its research into broadcasting technology that has contributed to developments such as Freeview and DAB digital radio. In 2017-18 it received a grant from the EU of €1,282,331 (£1,145,572).

    @Jennababes @SkyUK This is why I left sky and there **** broad band, £92 a month which included £10 for HD wtaf most HD channels are free with Freeview 🤔

  • ttiaat ^^^^ (@ttiaat) reported

    @HumzaYousaf @Stuart_McDonald . watching Freeview every advert features a black or mixed race actor I can see why people get antsy - and poor white people don't have community or identity... But that is different to the bullying of brown people that follows or rejecting that on colonialism need re-educating

  • IrregularExpr Ben Woodford (@IrregularExpr) reported

    @PaulieHughes Kinda bizarre that Kodi has to be sideloaded, the Fire platform is locked down in mysterious ways... I have two HD 8s at work that I need to short a clock pin on at some point On the missing all front: our Sony TV was missing all the British OD stuff unless you setup Freeview
