  • 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

    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!!

    @alan_jones They filled hours with Sky Travel Shop. Their main competitor on Freeview was TV Travel Shop. Of course, it was called DTT back then as Freeview only launched in the October. So many new channels arrived, although signal wasn't great.

    @SamanthaMalin We've been having problems over here too with signal dropout and pixelation. We aren't on Sky though, just Freeview. We weren't sure if our Humax box was on the blink as it's quite ancient now. Perhaps it's the 5G in the vaccines affecting the signal Lol!!!

    @putasinghonit Just pay £28 for WiFi. I got rid of my sky tv package (was £98) and just opted for £13 NOWTV (entertainment and movies), Netflix, D+, Prime etc as well as usual freeview channels. Never looked back

    @virginmedia The works are conducted, but they never resolve issues. We still use FreeView, 5 days after the storm. The wifi speed is low, and pages keep crushing on laptop and phones.

  • amandaglass_ Amanda (@amandaglass_) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I also don't have freeview, but I think the tv has freeview in it. Is it just as simple as taking the HDMI cable out the back of my current tv and into the back of my new one? Coz I can do that no problem. With tv off obviously

    Movie Pick of the Day (UK Freeview) Nightbreed (1990) Dir. Clive Barker Horror Channel - 22:55 I despised Nightbreed when it was released, but only because of how much of an utter **** Craig Sheffer was in Some Kind of Wonderful, three years previous. I hold grudges.

  • Dr_Jon John Michael Leslie (@Dr_Jon) reported

    @Theking06810787 @CountBinface I don't get this, it's never gone away on Freeview, just press the Text button on your TV's remote while on BBC1, BBC2 or BBCNews and you're good to go: Page ideas: 101 = News headlines 302 = Football Headlines 360 = F1 Headlines 400 = Weather

    TV reception seems to of fixed itself. Had a couple of weeks of poor freeview reception recently.

  • elspirito_ FPL MO (@elspirito_) reported

    You think social media is bad for doom scrolling, try watching any Freeview TV ad break. Jesus Christ...
