    @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!!

    @HitachiEurope @COP26 Hello, I bought a Hitachi 58 Inch 58HK6100UB Smart 4K UHD HDR Freeview TV but I cannot pair the BT remote with the TV. I tried the codes 2424, 1739 but it does not work. Where can I get help? Thanks!

  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    This is not good. Freeview signal has disintegrated in the middle of In the night garden 😱

  • the_FLT Fergus Llewelyn Turtle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@the_FLT) reported

    The big exception of course is big sports but that's a little different to normal programming. Even there, cricket viewing has dwindled from lack of major (and Freeview) network coverage.

    @simonnread I've struck lucky today, normally Talking Pics pixelates. Will record and watch later. Ever since they tinkered with Freeview the signal has been appalling. Laurel & Hardy still funny to this day.

    @AnnSkelly3 Don't go for Virgin, it's awful. The woman I work for was with sky and paying a fortune. One of the other staff recommended virgin, think it was because she got £50 for recommending it. All freeview channels are now gone. So called Free virgin channels are terrible

  • ResineYT LEAVE ME ALONE IM CRYING SOOOO HARD!!! (@ResineYT) reported

    **** Alki David for Using Freeview TV Areals!!!!! #FuckFilmonTV

    @TalkingPicsTV just to let you know there’s no signal in North Wales on Freeview for your channel. Noticed it at around 10pm.

    Really happy about joining "team @duncanrobinson" on so-called freeview. aka TV, without the internet. Cuts down latency to approx. 1 second versus "live". Available, amazingly for such an antique technology in "H.D." too. But, why is there no Newsmax? How am I to inform myself?
