    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

    Can anyone explain to me the point of #ITV4+1 on #Freeview? It never seems to broadcast. Just a waste of bandwidth. #ITV

  • Katielainton princesskate (@Katielainton) reported

    @virginmedia trying to cancel my tv package down to just the free view Chanel’s and your rep that I just spoke to doesn’t know what freeview is? Can anyone help?

  • Eon_Nova Nova Storm 🔜 SOTONFURS (@Eon_Nova) reported

    @kestenan I believe you can own a TV but you only need the License to watch their channels or something stupid. Can use a TV screen for a computer screen if it has no freeview built in. BUT i could be wrong...

    @misteronmac @BBCNews £5.27 per month smartphone, only freeview, don’t smoke & even teetotal so maybe give up the car & walk 30+ miles to work, work my 10 hrs & then walk 30+ home again … At 68, working in the back of beyond, up hill & down dale, with no public transport … I don’t think so 🙄

    Finally, check streaming services. Freevee. The best free streaming service overall Peacock. Pluto TV. Roku Channel. Tubi. ... Crackle. ... Vudu. ... Sling Free. Negotiate a lower monthly cost or switch provider. Take advantage of freeview and freeway. Get those old DVDs out.

  • FintanTheWrong FintanT (@FintanTheWrong) reported

    The Howling is about to start on Legend (channel 41 on Freeview). For some reason I have never seen this before.

  • owlladycal Owlladycal (@owlladycal) reported

    @theoneringnet ..UK has Never had that in our cinemas (that i recall) & Never seen Extended LOTR (or Hobbit) on Any tv or Freeview channel. Sadly we dont get LOTR on any station any more... but older films are repeated ad nauseam weeklly, monthly, yearly...😣😢

  • markvonrichards Marko Von Richards🤡 (@markvonrichards) reported

    Still find it horrendous that @bbcthree has HD on freeview to show Ru WTF Drag Race but a proper service like @BBCFOUR4 is demoted to SD and ready to be dropped? How many licence fee payers actually watch the shite they put out on @bbcthree

  • mrwilmore18 Neal 🌎 (@mrwilmore18) reported

    @rreczulski @rasiron Freeview channel 721 is BBC Leicester where I live so fully rely on BBC Sport commentary. I suspect many others who live away from the region have the same issue.

    Since last night's Donner und Blitzen storms I can't get a freeview signal
