  • Davidp1103 David-19 (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @TalkTalk It would be nice if you could reduce or remove a £40 charge for an engineer who called but made no inspection of equipment, explained that Freeview channels had been altered; a fact that your customer services were not aware of, but should have known.

  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38

    Terrible streaming quality via YouTube! @btsport should have made it freeview #UCLfinal

  • robinjuste Robin Juste Emery (@robinjuste) reported from Gillingham, England

    Fog risk and disruption to TV and radio transmissions. Expect some lost Freeview or low signal channels on some mornings next week! #KentWeather @AffinityDJ @AffinityKent

    @gordon_dudgeon @profsked @edglasgow59 I read you can delete the BBC from your Freeview by having a piss down the back of your TV. Haven't tried it myself, but let me know how you get on.

    There's a new TV news station on the block starting soon on Freeview etc. GB News. To show your support for a healthy alternative to the usual BBC/ITN/Ch4/Sky News channel, search "New British... " on Facebook

  • V8Hotstox550 Simon Hughes (@V8Hotstox550) reported

    @Sotlive @BBCRadioStoke Is it not easier to listen through Freeview, given that most households now have at least one if not multiple Freeview enabled TV'S? Problem with MW, and has been for some time, is that the only way to get MW is in the car. So in many ways it makes sense. MW radios now obsolete.

    @LGUK @Kevin89890344 This is really poor service from LG. Some effort should be made to upgrade 2020 TVs to Freeview Play. Everyone who has purchased a 2020 TV has paid the same amount as someone who bought an LG TV in any other year.

    @SpudFromDublin @Hookademus @MattAndo63 Sorry to jump in ... but our BT box is connected to our rooftop aerial. My older freeview tv in other room is too for freeview channels (& only 21 tv channels at that) . Signal goes down quite often. No dish. No cable.

  • Barfette Barfette (@Barfette) reported

    @Fibutton Why is he shouting constantly doesn't his microphone work, I HATE this programme and BBC1 BUT Freeview signal on the blink and cannot watch Sky News, aaaargh!

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @jax20206 Hi, there hasn't been any update to Freeview recently. Was it an update to the Freeview Play app or perhaps the software on the TV? Updates to apps should not affect your TVs connection to your SKy service.

  • HarryPie1862 HarryPie. 🤔 🥀😷 (@HarryPie1862) reported

    All broadcasters are bought, especially the state-owned & Tory party controlled BBC. But when billion pound missiles are directed at bringing down a broadcaster's HQ, your can bet your bottom dollar that broadcaster is less corrupted than others. Al Jazeera news Freeview 235

  • AvanceBusiness Avance Business Technology (@AvanceBusiness) reported

    @charliepick @ABCaustralia 1) So the ABC doesn't pay you a wage? 2) Yep great, so make it opt in. Forcing it on us is my issue. If I miss the news being broadcast on Freeview without the need to sign in why the hell should I need to sign in to watch it through an app 3) no data is safe

    Wretched Freeview! Why can’t they put the normal channel, and the channel+1 next to each other in the listings! You have to scroll down into the yonder channels to find the +1s!!!! And why isn’t there are BBC1+1 and BBC2+1????
