  • 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

    Anyone having problems at the minute with Freeview? The last couple of days I haven’t had any tv, it just says check your aerial antenna.

  • MrRew9 MrRew (@MrRew9) reported

    @piersmorgan It took about 10 minutes to scroll down the channel list on freeview to find a manic loop enthusing over a lookalike GBNews. Don’t think I’ll be doing that again when Coronation Street is on the 📺.

  • MickeyFlight Mickey Flight (@MickeyFlight) reported

    @afneil Leave poor Bunter alone and watch much more relevant @piersmorgan on @TalkTV launching tomorrow on Sky 526 Virgin Media 627 Freeview 237 Freesat 217

  • Haggis91569570 Northern Haggis🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Haggis91569570) reported

    @FreeviewTV Why is the freeview signal reception so terrible in north east Scotland and can we get a discount on the license fee for having to put up with your abysmal service.

  • julesw1lko Jules (@julesw1lko) reported

    My exciting Saturday night life… Trying to hunt down “Dis/Informed” … it came out on TV when I was over in Ireland with family. @PBSAmerica is on Freeview apparently. But also an add on channel to Amazon Tv. Subscribe and pay my £3.50 But it’s not there on demand? Grrr / wtf.

  • HollyChristma11 Holly Christmas (@HollyChristma11) reported

    Why is TV so utterly ****? Freeview? Supposed to be 700 Channels. And 695 of them are Totally ******* Unwatchable! The other 5 consist of Repeats or Adverts! And they want you to pay £156 Quid for a TV License? NOT A CHANCE!

  • IceyGareth president elect gareth (@IceyGareth) reported

    @Russtophocles1 There is a freeview ad where someone has broken it down and shows predictive programming and something hitting the earth in 2022 was part of that if I can find it I’ll send over

    @Evi_SnowMew I learned this back in the early 90s when I moved from analogue mobile to digital network and found places I could make calls within college were suddenly not able to at all. Digital isn't always that great. We have an tv aerial that can't even get digital freeview.
