  • 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!!

    @smolrobots Fires up the Roku. So probably 60 seconds behind the freeview signal.

    @bbceurovision getting really fed up with sound issues on #Freeview - every time Graham Norton comes in the volume drops out! Grrrr! #Eurovision2021

  • Pukeko65 Heather .🐱🦔 (@Pukeko65) reported

    @Omahuson @TVNZ We never use Freeview for TVNZ on demand..always the app on TV

  • briavelsjon Jon Pitts (@briavelsjon) reported

    @softwarescotty Fair enough, but your underlying issue is Freeview reception in that case!

  • brundellfilimou Mike Benjamin (@brundellfilimou) reported

    @talkRADIO @mrmarkdolan The alternative funding. A wholly subscription model can’t be applied to radio and there is no UK news service not on freeview. So you could phase out the licence fee over and allow the BBC to compete for adv and sponsorship. I bet that will go down well with News Corp.

  • buildknuckle In the Center of That Large Circle... (@buildknuckle) reported

    @kisekinasuteki Ah so that's what it was. Sucks because I don't even know if I can follow the race live since it isn't on Freeview nowadays. :/

  • briavelsjon Jon Pitts (@briavelsjon) reported

    @softwarescotty (Original reply now corrected). That's fair enough, and unfortunate for sure. But surely if Freeview doesn't cover you, the solution might be Freesat instead?

  • CEEGEE12 Carole Geddes (@CEEGEE12) reported

    @Oldbird19 We don't have the full service for freeview in my area so can't check with anyone locally
