  • 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

  • CWiddowfield_61 Chris Widdowfield (@CWiddowfield_61) reported

    I appear to have lost my #Freeview HD channels from #OliversMount here in #Scarborough. Anyone else have the same issues?

  • Geoff_NUFC GPM (@Geoff_NUFC) reported

    @JustCraggles @virginmedia @BlueYonder I had the same, went from paying £40 a month to nearly £70. Dropped the TV because its ****, I was on the basic TV which is pretty much freeview. Went to sky for TV and was going to take the sky broadband until they gave me a reduced price. Its worth complaining about.

    @GBNEWS The quality of your signal on Freeview is appalling -any chance you can go HD ?<

  • korewatori Tori (@korewatori) reported

    @TheApsy17 @WechGangInt legit it's so ******* stupid. There's something called freeview that gives you access to quite a large amount of basic channels but I don't think that includes the BBC. The licence is required to watch anything produced by the BBC and to watch stuff when its broadcasted live

  • CilantroElPerro Ryan Richardson (@CilantroElPerro) reported

    @Ambraneri You would think so, but a cursory Google suggests ITV 4 HD doesn't exist on Freeview and my TV seems to agree. Really you'd think HD would just be the standard now. There's barely any point broadcasting football in SD it looks that bad.

  • k4bladesagain cheekfulloftongue🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@k4bladesagain) reported

    @GBNfans Still not a great picture on my freeview. Don't know if it's their end or just a weak signal but needs to be HD. Something to go up against question time on Thursdays. More variety/presenters...its starting to get a bit "samey" all the time.

  • KrisNewlands Kris Newlands (@KrisNewlands) reported

    Hello @Channel4 Do you have a Channel 4 HD + 1 on Freeview? Watching the F1 on C4+1 and really noticing the poor resolution.

  • BrexitFoxy The People's Foxy 🦊 (@BrexitFoxy) reported

    @CraggsLewis @tvlicensing @tvlicensingnews If it's the live stream, as it's also a Freeview broadcast channel then yeah you need a TV licence. If you're just watching catch-up on-demand clips, then you don't need one. The law is stupid, but that's the way it is at the moment.
