@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…

@itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

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.

@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.

@virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.

@PaulLittler4 I've paused it a couple of times but I'm only on the Freeview SD version so it's not that clear. Maybe one day when there's a Blu-Ray re-issue :)

@houseoflabrys My game plan when I moved in was to find someone who would install a satellite dish for me (via BT, kind of expensive to do independently), then once that contract was up go to freeview box £70. Internet / phoneline (I never use) by Plusnet. They're fine? <£30p/m

@smurfing66 I believe that is the case, although the actual Freeview channel depends on which transmitter you get your TV signal from. The other thing is that Radio Solent broadcasts different matches on different frequencies / Freeview channels (Cherries, Saints, Pompey and Eastleigh)

@Chris29Cunningh Are you watching it on freeview?. Yeah it’s bad, but ok on sky or the app.

@BBCiPlayerForum I don’t understand why iPlayer has stopped using a grid channel and programme finder for everything that is showing on all the iPlayer channels? It’s a huge omission, makes no sense… I have to use the Freeview app on my phone to see what’s on. BBC pl fix!!

@WrestlingCG1 @SCN_channel I would say that counts. on Freeview it is Channel 265 which should bring you to the vod365 menu and then you just search from there. Just a warning but I think the menu is absolutely awful to navigate.

@FreeviewAdvice Thanks but I've already tried that direct on the Freeview website. Says it's available in my area but clearly isn't. I also lost BBC Four HD and BBC News HD a couple of months ago. Aerial strength is 100% for other channels so no problems there. Pity.
