    @gsouthy @ingl Not had @SkyUK or @Virgin TV for years.. Enough crap and repeats on terrestrial TV without paying for even more from companies like these.. Freeview and @NetflixUK gives us enough entertainment, and for less..

    I noticed whenever they show foreigners speaking Mandarin on Freeview TV28 it's always foreign men, some of whom are even married to Chinese women😒. But they never seem to show foreign women speaking the language, let alone with Chinese boyfriends/husbands.

    @MartinSLewis We only started a paid service with disney+ 2 years ago. Last year we shared with my brother & sister (not allowed but not stopped yet!) so works out £91 per household. But me & my wife hardly watch anything so we'll be dropping out. Freeview is all we really watch & have a pvr

    I'm getting twitchy already... neighbours have scaffolding all around their house and its totally taken down our Sky signal. No TV. For at least four weeks. Even Freeview won't work. No Corrie. No Judge Judy. Nothing. #bereft #tvaddicted

    @FreeviewTV Wish Freeview would focus on getting it to work! Outages yet again! The map shows many outages, yet it states no problems. Shows reports, then places a red line above those reports & says only outages above the red line. Showing 'No Service' repeatedly is not good enough.

    @BBC I have no internet at home, watch only what’s on Freeview, haven’t used the iPlayer in at least 3 years, don’t “listen again” and have never downloaded a podcast in my life. Yet I am expected to pay the same as somebody who uses all these aspects of your service?

  • AlDumas6 AlDumas (@AlDumas6) reported

    @MartinSLewis Don’t have any streaming services. I can watch a couple of hundred channels of utter crap on freeview/freesat or free online, or pay stupid money to watch several thousand channels of even more utter crap.

    @NadineDorries @BBC @FreeviewTV Nadine, please sort out Freeview. People can't access TV or have total blackout so often! This last fortnight or so, it hadn't worked most of the time. Most people don't report outages because they don't know where to do so &/or can't. Get sorted!

    @FramptonRoz @FreeviewTV Hi Roz, Deepest apologies for the delay in responding. I am so very sorry you are experiencing issue with your Freeview reception. Can you please DM Freeview Advice along with your full postcode and house name/number and we will look in to this for you. Thank you, Melissa

    @robert_t_bruce I guess the real issue is that there doesn't appear to be a decent like-for-like replacement for VodafoneTV. Some options include the Freeview streaming app, but that is hugely undermined because it will be shutting down later in the year.

  • FramptonRoz Roz Frampton (@FramptonRoz) reported

    @BBC No, because we can't see anything! There have been so many Freeview outages, again today. We've had days & days of no service. Can't get terrestrial or other channels. The old TVs were far better in terms of reliability. Now, planes affect service, weather affects service, etc.
