    @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…

    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.

    Hi @JenBartram 1031mBar is high pressure, is it not? Just been told that my Freeview signal can't be being affected by high pressure because they've not had any high pressure warnings... 🤯

  • Oldcynic9 Granny B.Goode #Clint Eastwood 4ever.❤ (@Oldcynic9) reported

    @Karen31332753 @benonwine Thats exactly the same as we keep saying... trouble is its almost as much money for just broadband as it is to include the tv. Plus we aint got a BT line to change broadband providers, & yeah I'd miss the recording. Even though I know freeview boxes can record now.

    @TommyGribbin @MaggieM76079577 Don't have sky. Want to watch footie I go to the pub. Sky is just a few hundred more channels of crap and we have enough rubbish on regular freeview telly.

    @a516digital It s like that idiot who looked like harry hill, came to s ort my freeview, never ordered him or booked him. He just turned up. But he made things worst not better.

    @a516digital My neighbour has a contract for new build properties all this week, and told me that freeview issues can wait.

    @aliiscrying @JohnJohnNYC_ in the UK you buy a television license to access Freeview which is the terrestrial television service you can get with an antenna. The money goes to fund the BBC

    @UKBeanzOnToast More and more people who only have #Freeview are seeing what the #FakeNewsMedia has been doing. The trouble with this is the trust has gone and we know the #ScumMedia is no longer impartial so @GOVUK has to step in to normalise it again @NadineDorries

    @discoveryplusUK I can watch Freeview for TV ruined with endless Adverts I am categorically NOT going to pay for a streaming service with Adverts. Either offer the service for free with Ads or take a subscription fee instead of Ads.... But NOT both.
