  • 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

  • HD2onPBdotcom Brian Corbett (@HD2onPBdotcom) reported

    @rogermosey Work on the transmitter near Manchester in the last month means that ALL BBC transmissions - national radio, local radio, SD TV and HD TV have ceased here: I cannot receive about 30% of the Freeview channels I have been getting over the last 6+ years. And retuning doesn't help

    @JBridge05565695 Hi there, I'm sorry to read you've not been able to view our channels. If you can try and re-tune your freeview box; hopefully this'll fix it for you. Stacey x

    It’s 2022, drop the SD channels and encourage people to upgrade. SD freeview is unwatchable it’s so bad.

  • itvhubhelp ITV Hub Help (@itvhubhelp) reported

    @nicxari @itvhub Hiya, we provide subtitles through the major web browsers, or on iOS/Android. We also have support on some TV devices such as Samsung, Apple TV and Freeview Play but we're keen to get this support expanded to more TV devices!

  • AndyGraysdouble Robert Martin (@AndyGraysdouble) reported

    @PhantomPower14 Good. Decent technique on freeview. Anyone seeking masochistic pleasure out of watching crap football has to pay up. Just as it should be.

  • mikeapollo Mikeapollo (@mikeapollo) reported

    We have the BBC nations feed (high symbol rate) on here. It's obvious they've got their best (4k) cameras out today. Trouble is, it's gonna make every other programme tonight look like it was filmed on a 1970s 405 line plumbicon camera... Freeview will be like legovision.

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    Ahead of BBC Four HD and CBeebies HD moving Freeview multiplexes later this month, two new Service IDs - 18046 for BBC Four HD and 18176 for CBeebies HD have popped up on mux PSB3/BBC-B. Freeview users will soon be invited to retune their TV and/or boxes, likely 3rd week of June.

    @TheWalkindude77 @maesy5 It’s bad enough my interstate membership no longer gives me access to non-freeview matches … Dees rarely play in NSW so if I want to attend a game I have to PLAN!
