    @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…

  • geovilla77 georgie green (@geovilla77) reported from Bromsgrove, England

    You don’t realise how awful freeview is until your waiting for the sky man to come to your house 🥴

  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    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.

    I actually like this Renault unit. Comfy, great night heater, DAB radio, small Samsung TV with working Freeview (more channels than my home TV) fridge, microwave only thing I don't like is the windows in the door panel for seeing cyclist the curtains don't drop that far down

    @adamfootdev Hi Adam, sorry to be a pest. That Freeview isn’t in the AppleTV store. I love yours and Apple TV just out. Your app is so clean and tidy. Could it be tweaked just to show 8hrs? Even if it was a pro version at an extra cost. And id give you a nice plug on my shows to help

    @RandyMack88 @AlexLloyd1 @BBCNews Your tweet made it sound like you thought it was just those specific things and that you didn't need a licence for things like freeview (when you do) just a tweet interpretation issue happens all the time on this bird app

  • GazBlades Gary Blades (@GazBlades) reported

    Arrived down in Portsmouth ready for another crack at the Modus Super Series. Thursday and Friday from 09:30am on Sport Stuff TV, Sky Channel 437, Freeview 264 and on the @MSSdarts YouTube channel.

  • andrewhdonohoe Andrew Donohoe (@andrewhdonohoe) reported

    First time watching live sport on @VMSportIE @VirginMediaIE and again the picture quality is beyond bad. How are we still in this place where basic HD on freeview isn't a thing? You can't see player numbers on the wide view. #IREvRSA #Rugby

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported

    @boodleoodlesjw Oh right, it's the same thing but through a tv. I thought if you connect an aerial to it that the Freeview tuner kicks in when the net is down?

  • Rc8rW Chris Wilson (@Rc8rW) reported

    @Channel4 Has anyone else noticed that channel 4s Freeview TV guide schedules are an hour out? Meaning that series record isn't working either. The guide is showing that shows are on an hour earlier than they start!!! What a terrible mistake!

  • dancemumjulie Julie Martin (@dancemumjulie) reported

    @FreeviewTV I have not been able to receive any freeview channels for 2 days now my postcode is CB4 2BS. Is there an issue in my area and if not what can I do about it

  • shaunie233 shaun.russell (@shaunie233) reported

    @dickiematthews5 Freeview 26 listen to him, awful

  • eltomas87 Tom Shaw (@eltomas87) reported

    @Jaack Before sky took sky sports news off freeview I loved my Saturdays playing footy manager on laptop with soccer Saturday on TV! Now I just stream the game I want to watch! If they don't want people to stream make it affordable and bring ticket prices down
