  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @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.

    @FreeviewAdvice I live in Washington and received freeview reception from Bilsdale. I have a very poor signal at the moment making viewing not possible When the temp 80m mast is commissioned will I then get a viewable signal?

    Good news,I've retuned my telly and picked up 14 channels. Bad news,they're still glitchy. #freeview #BilsdaleFail

  • BendyCuteness Abby Addison (@BendyCuteness) reported

    I mean don’t get me wrong I definitely get more cam shows offering free preview but can get tiring with time wasters you just know ain’t going to spend money. Some of them come in freeview daily and never wanna spend like why bother doing that on AW 🙄

  • pageturner_92 Emma✨ (@pageturner_92) reported

    When our TV was installed the guy said we didn't need to worry about the satellite signal dropping when the weather was bad because the freeview would easily run through the Sky. Well guess what, it is absolutely pouring down with rain and we've lost all signal!

  • stephen_j_moran Stephen Moran (@stephen_j_moran) reported

    Virgin Media broadband is brilliant, phone line and mobile sims good, but their TV offering is poor. Alas, they package them all together. Their basic TV offering is no better than Freeview. The rest are exorbitant Sky packages etc. Apps dead slow through TiVo. Firestick v fast.

    @DavidofNotting1 @JujuliaGrace @EveryDoctorUK I have only seen clips of the awful #gbeebies on Twitter, I deleted the channel as soon as it popped up on Freeview and Freesat.

  • fifasalty 💙Chris💙salt💙 (@fifasalty) reported

    @RealMickFoley i think one problem is the lack of hardcore matches and an hardcore championship. when you look back all the matches i remember they are covered in blood and death defying stunts. not sure why this is not happening now but again creative writing then aew shown on freeview in uk
