  • 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

    @piersmorgan Nice to see you back on the box - and unfettered this time, but PLEASE could you get something done about the very poor quality of the Freeview channel? Picture quality very poor I'm afraid.

    @TroubleDads @virginmedia Completely agree, i felt it was so unfair. What made it worse was that about 4mth after moving in, VM was supplied to the area! They would have known this too. I take great delight in putting as many off of VM as i can, awful company. Happily now have giffgaff and freeview 👍

    @2004__harry @TeamUkraine2022 Th pq on Freeview is appalling. Looks like American TV from the mid 90's. On Sky it's HD. Likely 2 issues. 1:no space on Freeview multiplexes to squeeze HD on, or 2:Cost to do so is prohibited based on expected advertising revenues.

    @ShaunKehoe @SkyHelpTeam It probably would but think this is big let down with sky glass , the channels that’s missing is bad , I am kicking sky tv in to touch getting a freeview box better and cheaper until sky add more channels to it

    I've just retuned my Freeview. I have 112 channels. That'll be @TalkingPicsTV and 111 crap ones then.

  • _LoneWolf_ Paul (@_LoneWolf_) reported

    @SkyUK Looking at your deals, new customer deals, I need some information that I can't find online. Where can I find out monthly costs after initial 18 months? I found broadband after 18 months (£35.50 for what I picked) but not monthly TV costs - basic channels, freeview.

    @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.

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    @hammer_n_tubing I never had Sky, so I consider myself a "pay lite" customer. i.e. Freeview with a few add-ons. It'd make me uncomfortable to know I was paying as much for streaming as a Sky package.

    @piersmorgan @PiersUncensored I don't have 237 on my Freeview. I'm not tech savvy. Help me
