  • 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

  • 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!!

    London's mayor Sadiq Khan wants the city to be net zero by 2030. So are cities part of the solution to climate change? Our guests @JenIrisAllan and @mohadow will be debating this on tonight's #DailyClimateShow. 🕡 6:30pm 📺 Sky 501/Freeview 233

    @vanessaazahar i never watch BBC or ITV and I dont have the patience to watch a film .... on Freeview tho I have been wading my way thru Lovejoy again !

  • ChefGarethS Chef G (@ChefGarethS) reported

    @BustedSpyke @BBC I thought the Red Button on BBC was free? I'm guessing it is if you have freeview on your TV but how'd you get to watch that on a laptop / mobile device? As for the online commentary, I've got the same problem as I'm just on the edge of 95.5FM's area 🤬

  • JeremyBennett JeremyBennett (@JeremyBennett) reported

    @MartinSLewis Amazon Prime and Netflix ! I clicked Amazon Prime above, because it is included in the delivery service so is effectively "free". We don't have Sky as we cancelled that many many years ago. We use iPlayer, 4OD, ITVOD, etc quite a bit too. For terrestrial we use HD Freeview.

    @TherealNihal @hayleycampbell @scottygb Coming soon to Teesside a 5V signal that allows you to actually watch TV via #Freeview, learnt a new phrase today I'm a "Notspot", an area where no signal with temporary measures in place until original mast sorted.....NEW YEAR? WHO KNOWS NOONE SEEMS TO GIVE A........

  • Reuben04748504 Reuben (@Reuben04748504) reported

    @ThisisACTV Think loosing the number on channels like sky is doing with sky one does give more impact on streaming service. The numbers ok if Freeview and channel hopping but the future landscape is more streaming so build up change now try out new things before it's too late.

  • AndyD_Ninja 🔰Andy Danbury (@AndyD_Ninja) reported

    @SkyUK #skyglass? Qs. 1. Who manufactures the TVs for Sky? 2. If you cancel sky, this then renders the TV useless? 3. No option to view any other service? eg freeview 4. No alternative if BBand dies? 5. No such thing as "live" TV as everything is delayed? Not enough info given on this.

  • DugMillward The Rodent (@DugMillward) reported

    @Channel4 & @channel5_tv with all the problems with your networks going down, no subtitles unavailable to the deaf, why not open a 2nd channel on Freeview with all the same programming at the same time (like the HD channels), but with a Signer and subtitles on screen at all times

  • vickysharp1 Vicky Sharp (@vickysharp1) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice cheers Freeview. Totally ruined the ending of Pearl Harbour tonight with your weak signal. Sort it out!!
