  • 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

    Why is changing channels on my Humax Freeview box so slow? The interface literally has one job.

  • pixieglas Claire Vaughan she/her 〓〓 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🎬 (@pixieglas) reported

    @TheDaiLlew It took me so long to get out of being a Virgin customer. I eventually got out of the grind by getting a satellite dish installed via BT (as a new customer for the a year) then buying a Freeview box. Now I just have to get the Internet from somewhere and can shop around. Pob lwc!

  • thhamilton Tom Hamilton (@thhamilton) reported

    @GidonFreeman @MattRogerson The issue is the aerial (irrelevant for streamed programming) not the presence or absence of a freeview box.

  • DaveP2611 AbandonedTrolley (@DaveP2611) reported

    @Lottesometimes Yep I'm streaming my games to my phone from my home network. I have a freeview tuner hooked up to my network, so can watch normal channels live anywhere I want when out and about.

  • agbnufc_ Dell 💦 (@agbnufc_) reported

    @AdamP1242 I don't understand how they couldn't just switch the channel? I'm struggling to work out what the problem was. It's literally just a freeview menu.

    @BlitzExternals Hi, there. If the TV isn't letting you accept the Freeview Play Terms and Conditions, check to see if there's a software update available for the TV. Otherwise, you'll need to contact the TVs manufacturer for further support. Fraser

    the @BBC channels on Freeview are all currently down for me

  • se25jg 𝕵.𝕲 (@se25jg) reported

    If I can say only one positive about this World Cup is that, Football being so accessible on freeview TV is brilliant. This should never change and be more regular. Get more Football on freeview TV!
