    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

  • StuartDillon1 Stuart Dillon #COYI (@StuartDillon1) reported

    @jonesy_nb I liked Norway's. I was watching it on Freeview but I've lost the signal so watching it on iplayer as well

  • Kazza6900 Karen 🧙🔮💜🕊 (@Kazza6900) reported

    @LuckyLu31582986 @virginmedia Switched over to freeview and having no problems at all. I was thinking it was @virginmedia problems

  • TJStamp TJ Stamp (@TJStamp) reported

    @jaredspx @natehiggins Tried several… freeview, freesat, YouTube, TikTok… all are bad but iPlayer is best in class at the moment.

  • SixfieldsSid Didcot Yard 💙 (@SixfieldsSid) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi I am having trouble with the ITV channels on Freeview, it started a few weeks ago when the picture pixelated and popped, the channel has now disappeared completely and is showing no signal, BBC channels OK

  • Superwendii Jack Russell's Rule (@Superwendii) reported

    @midkentforbrit1 First get rid of all mobile contracts and tv subscriptions. Get sim only and freeview only. This plus cooking from scratch would be a massive help for everyone to reduce their outgoings. Plus get a good freezer. Freeze yellow ticket reduced stuff. Make extra for another day.

  • MarcAllen81 Marc Allen (@MarcAllen81) reported

    @Blissbooster I've switch to normal Freeview.. fine now, deffo a Virgin issue.

  • 8bitToNow TripTheConsole (@8bitToNow) reported

    The Freeview is down in my area. As #Eurovision is on, I thought I had a lucky escape but nope...the Mrs has just beamed it over iPlayer. Eurghhh 😔

  • MarcAllen81 Marc Allen (@MarcAllen81) reported

    @vistaextra @Callumizatt @virginmedia Definitely a Virgin problem... all channels not just those. I've switched to freeview and it's fine.

  • TheMagnusShaw Magnus Shaw (@TheMagnusShaw) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hello. Unfortunately our normally excellent Freeview signal has fallen to pieces over the last few days. Picture freezes, pixels everywhere and so on. Often dies altogether and says 'Low or no signal received'. Can you help, please. PC: S410FB
