    @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!!

    @Lydiarosesteph you never had to pay for it, even in your situation you can just use itvx for free, the subscription removes ads and have extra content but watching live and love island are available for free. also freeview is free so i don't understand why u wouldn't have it if u have a tv

    Just zapped into Really TV Channel (Ch 17 Freeview) Minute by Minute Emergency which features a terrible day in Melbourne on the 20th January 2017.

    @ITVXhelp @ITVX Thanks, but that’s not a great deal of help as Freeview Play is listed, but just says ‘some devices not supported’. Why would the software not be written to work on devices that might be a few years older but still being sold? Or is it just not been sorted yet?

    @PSJMaps Hi, there. Sorry to hear that you're having problems watching Freeview but if you can DM us your postcode along with house number or name, we can check for any known issues in the area and advise from there. Fraser

    @brianwinteruk I remember updating Freeview, half of the channels never came back & it always had to be scanned a few times.

    @ckewley72 @virginmedia I’ve had no services since 9pm last night !!!! I’ve been checking the status page and the time changes all the time . It’s been 10am then I had a text saying it’s fixed but no it wasn’t. Then it said 12.06 now it’s changed to 18.00 wtf . Only tv that works is my freeview one

  • CatIpswich Toby the Cat (Ipswich) (@CatIpswich) reported

    @last_of_england I never knew what to think of the film. It left me feeling quite depressed. If they screen it on Freeview, I'll give it a try.

    Oh dear! The #Freeview signal has failed again! It happens every so often. #Newhaven

  • roy_gill Roy Gill (@roy_gill) reported

    @fitgeek_uk Hard to say. I stream a fair amount of movies, TV and music, but I also use a lot of physical media (and have freeview) so if/when the internet goes down, I wouldn’t be *without* any of those entertainment options, I’d just have less immediate choice.

    @Argos_Online I will NEVER shop at Argos again. Purchased a freeview box - only got 14 channels. Tried to return it and because I'd tried it you have refused. Absolutely disgusting! How is someone to know something doesn't work until they try it???
