    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

    Sometimes there is nothing interesting on Freeview which lèads one to Blaze & The Roswell incident. I listen to it from a psychological perspective & hear multiple doubt in the voices of those speaking.

  • Lutzoid Stephen Farrell (@Lutzoid) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice quick question folks. Just bought a new TV and the Freeview Play app is installed. I honestly don't know if this is an on demand service or a live broadcast service (or both?) I have no TV aerial, nor TV licence as I haven't watched live broadcast TV for years.

    @channel5_tv 7 mins before the end of the Great escape your channel has gone down on 5+1 on Freeview Very disappointed

    @Discovery Don't know if you can help but i'm in the UK & all of a sudden cannot get any of your channels on freeview. Quest, Food Network etc. It just says channel no longer exists. Tried updating channels, scanning for channels etc to no avail. Can you advise?

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @smurph25 @cleanfeed_ttvr Until earlier on, the slot was showing a Saorview information video. 544x576 SD, same resolution as Sky News on Freeview.

  • brains2laurie Brian Laurie (@brains2laurie) reported

    @channel5_tv Yes.. 7mins before the end your channel 5+1 has gone down on Freeview #dissapointed

    @bt_uk Thanks Claire. We keep losing freeview channels or they go fuzzy. We were told to buy something to help with the signal but we don’t want to pay for something else on top of the bill. I’ve retuned, fixed factory settings etc. I’ve always been a loyal customer but had enough tbh.

  • ManilaChinchila wtf_Daniel (@ManilaChinchila) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, I've lost the Freeview signal my TV receives since last night because of the storm. If I sent you my postcode, could you check what the status will be for the transmitter to be up and running again please?

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @Stoby_200 Glad to hear it's sorted. If you need Freeview support in the future, let us know.

    @keithbelfast @rte It never has been before and they stream it internationally so I think you'll be ok. Stream sometimes struggles so Sky/Freeview would be best...
