@Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

@mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

@SteveWalesPhoto @StansaidAirport @DavidBflower That's modern technogy, we still have our Baird 405 line set with those spindly screw in legs. Problem is reception of Freesat / Freeview is frankly rubbish. But we like that screensaver when we turn off at night. This fading dot - riveting.

@Adam373032869 I like it sometimes but the picture quality on freeview is very poor for some reason, almost like its underpowered.

@TalkingPicsTV there is a problem with your Encore service via Freeview. A programme playing via Encore will suddenly stop and whatever is showing live on Freeview starts playing. There is no way of getting back to the point reached before the stop either.

@jcalvarez2 @freesat_tv My parents invested in a 2TB freeview box. Not only was they dky q LNB not compatible and required a replacement at £100, but the box was incredibly slow and kept freezing. They just use apps on their smart tv now
