    @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!!

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    @CraigTvBug @EvanD As it stands the Freeview signal is currently carrying data to support five regional versions of BBC One HD across England. But the BBC promises all regions. It is currently advising the changes will occur by the end of April.

    Where's the Health Network channel! We have all sorts of repeat channels like the Food Network but no Health and Fitness channel on Freeview. Should be a National priority. Lots of Health cross channel programmes but not gathered together. Hardly any Fitness.

    Interesting after 2 days of zero TV reception, as mysteriously as it vanished it is now back. I can guess there was a problem somewhere with an antenna that fed into our valley. #Freeview when it works.

    @mags324 Same here really. We have old aerials up on the roof but no good for digital tv. I have an indoor one that works with Freeview but once I retire and we need to cut down on tv costs, I will probably get a decent one put on the roof and stop paying for tv.

  • poddys Tony Payne 🌊🌊 (@poddys) reported

    @AidWarwickshire It's always good to have alternatives. Can't watch live tv as we don't have an aerial. Looking to fix that after retirement as freeview seems a good option to cut down on our costs.

    @rufc2022 Must admit, I've never seen Our Novara - I'd thought it was a type of lipstick. Can it be watched on the Hard-Right Freeview?

  • CharlotteDeak Charlotte Deakin (@CharlotteDeak) reported

    @NPHockeyPuck Yep got it down to 32 and then I decided I only wanted freeview and internet so cancelled it altogether. Keep going with it everytime they offer say no .

  • SS401 Paul Rogers 🇺🇦 🜃 (@SS401) reported

    Our Freeview has completely crashed - no signal on any channel. Is it just us? @AboutEG

  • mcarbl ьеи (@mcarbl) reported

    @virginmedia I have the basic of basic packages. Volt included, whatever that means, as I’m on O2 as well. A 22.5% increase is ridiculous for what is essentially Freeview with broadband. More ridiculous is your blanket removal of our right to cancel because of such imposed future increases

    @nicky20 @piersmorgan Go to Freeview and keep scrolling down past Dave Ja Vue and the shopping channels, past GB News and Jim Davidson's channel & it's somewhere there
