    @LuckyCedarlane @BBCAMERICA @ITV @itv2 @Channel4 @channel5_tv C5 is awful. All this is freeview too!

  • StuN_UK StuN UK (@StuN_UK) reported from Sheffield, England

    @bowlestrek Get your facts straight. Johnson is not in favour of ditching the license fee, as he knows it’s a massive vote loser. Plus they’ve now realised, they can’t go to subscription fee system, as the freeview boxes that the majority of UK households use, don’t support it.

    @bread1970 @aewboro123 @Fightful Tbh ain't a bad deal ayozat is available on sky or through their app or website for anyone in the UK for free so availability is about as good as you get without being on freeview and as mentioned if they do well then a Freeview channel could pick them up at a later date.

    When you’ve had the full Virgin Media package but now have to make do with freeview in the short term, nightmare! First world problems

    @frankyjazzie Why do you want us to sign that I have just lost my Freeview signal on my TVfor 5G so if it’s good enough for TV it’s good enough for my mobile phone without any ill effects !!!

    So any atmospheric pressure over 1,005 mBar just lays to waste nearly half of my Freeview channels. Goes from 147 to 96. All BBC, ITV and Channel 4 gone. Pulling the aerial out and returning trick, does not help With the rain last night, did get 107 now back to 96.

    Does anyone know if you remove a Virgin Media TV package but keep the broadband whether the TiVo box continues to receive a signal for freeview use? Thanks!

    @TVNZ @ThreeNewZealand are you guys aware of the issue with Freeview in Southland? Pixilation and sound drop out. All Channels all of the time. I have tried to report to Freeview, but after 4 emails and no response back after a week, thought I would see if you have any clout.

  • Canis63 Old Nick.💙 (@Canis63) reported

    Hmm, loads of my freeview channels are nothing but fuzzy static but the HD versions are fine. Anyone else got that problem?

  • _oatc_ oatc (@_oatc_) reported

    @RobM37099974 @tx_pros @jduffyrice Not sure how many in 🇬🇧 even realise the channel exists on Freeview never mind having opinions about it. Obviously, you're right in respect of conspiracy theory devotees in 🇺🇸

  • sweetcandiiee92 Cottoncandiiee (@sweetcandiiee92) reported

    @lumixkat I was trying to watch it on Freeview demand or even Britbox however these steaming apps failed, so now I just wait until C4 or E4 which is just annoying as I normally would watch the next day episode with my morning breakfast ahahaha, 1st World problems ahahaha.

    @Stuart_NashMP Speaking to an installer, he can confirm multiple people with the issue, some have spent good money themselves trying to fix. but its from the transmitter not their TVs. Freeview refuse to answer email enquiries. I ahve sent 3 requests with no response over a period of a week.
