🐺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…

georgie green (@geovilla77) reported from Bromsgrove, EnglandYou don’t realise how awful freeview is until your waiting for the sky man to come to your house 🥴

Tom Poole (@TomPoole007) reported from Birmingham, England@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.
-
Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England@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.

Grumpy Stan.🎼 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧 📻 (@grumpyoldstan) reported from Tamworth District, England@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!
-

Andy.✝️🇬🇧 (@Smeeghee) reported@GBNEWS Why don’t you broadcast in HD on Freeview!! Ffs, it looks crap compared to Sky!
-
CharlesWynfordLodge (@2hrTV) reported@BENEFITS_NEWS I don't understand what switching off Freeview does, except I assume forces people to pay for everything? We have an Amazon Fredrick thing but the channels are apps. It's crap half the TV channels you can't even get on it. Freeview is better.
-
GSG2590 (@gsg2590) reported@JoshCF_ They're a joke now, two years ago the deal was £45 with basic freeview and Sky Q and now it's £63. They've also ended customer support on here and UK based customer calls. The app regularly messes up now, doesn't recognise you've paid and you end up getting charged again 😑
-
laura (@hudsonlc6) reportedfreely the best freeview out there. needs the Internet to watch tv but then doesnt connect to the internet and when it does connect, the tv doesnt work. 6 months I've had this tv and this **** doesnt work
-
Myles Fitzpatrick (@mylesfitz) reported@readysetdrone I was really intrigued by the stitching issue you found closer to objects too. How possible is it to create a 360 video to YouTube with this drone? Where you can freeview rather than export a perspective.
-
GetGoodAlex (@getgoodalex) reported@Hack73 @Dan__CAFC @crewealexfc Only chance of him getting sacked is if he comes out in support of the match being on Freeview.
-
Carol Jane (@hebe_jane) reported@BigNGandBertie @sleafordmods I bought a Firestick for around £25. All the Freeview channels are available without Prime. The ITV app is incredibly slow and glitchy through my set top box/DVR, but works well on the Firestick.
-
The Under Dog (@mattq660256) reportedIt's obvious all the freeview so called news channels are not news channels its so obvious with what they say and what they fail to say which should be said!!!???
-
KennyBilly (@KeepingKen) reportedOver 13 million households across the UK currently rely on Freeview - and residents could be forced to fork out an additional £20 monthly and potentially purchase a new television set if the service is discontinued, experts have cautioned.

Adrian Caswell (@CaswellAdrian) reported@kenton1206 I did the same with Virgin Mafia. It was going up to £90 for little more than Freeview and ok broadband. Swapped to a Cityfibre service (small firm based in Worthing even though I live in Peterborough) and bought a Netgem Plieo. Less than half the cost, should’ve done it sooner.
