    @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.

    @Alexand85266011 @femme_uk @GBNEWS Freeview isn't very reliable for me either. I'm only 10 miles [as the crow flies] from the South Yorkshire Transmitter, yet I can only receive 6 of the 15 HD channels available. BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4, Channel 5 and CBBC. The signal quality/strength is on average 80%.

    I don't want to pile on, but I think that anyone setting up an independent freeview channel about anything in an age where linear TV is on the decline is pretty ******* stupid tbh.

    @JK_Makers @Kurumi_eSpirit @SinonBetter Digital Switchover. The Final Stage of Digital switchover is about to get underway All remaining analog TV services will shortly close down permanently. Some Freeview Services will be off-air overnight, and may need to re-tune your TV or set-top *** tomorrow

  • Gooner725 Deep (@Gooner725) reported

    @BBCiPlayer Hi - can one of your technical staff explain why iPlayer is unable to pass a basic 5.1 soundtrack after all this time? Almost every other streaming service can handle it. Why do I have to choose between UHD + 2.0 or HD (Freeview/Sky) + 5.1. Thanks!

  • melhill_ Mel. (@melhill_) reported

    Twitter! Help! How can Nic’s grandma watch the game without any apps on a tablet? Are there any free Freeview streams she can watch via Safari? She’s in hospital and doesn’t know how to download apps 😭

    @roseannerainbo4 Hi Roseanne, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Youtube app. You would need to contact the manufacture of your equipment for assistance as the Youtube app is not part of the Freeview service. Thanks, Dylan

  • thomasforth Tom Forth (@thomasforth) reported

    Really happy about joining "team @duncanrobinson" on so-called freeview. aka TV, without the internet. Cuts down latency to approx. 1 second versus "live". Available, amazingly for such an antique technology in "H.D." too. But, why is there no Newsmax? How am I to inform myself?

  • hexodecimal blow 2021 (@hexodecimal) reported

    @afneil @GBNEWS The channel is too much of the same for my liking. Good to see you on TV again but your signal isn't strong enough for me to get it on Freeview

  • bha4p Andy⁴p⚪️💙 🚯 (@bha4p) reported

    FFS, given up on @virginmedia to get a decent picture of the match on BBC1 HD. Terrible signal, reset the box and everything. such a pity. I guess they can't handle the demand or maybe someone near me extended their cable themselves this afternoon. Freeview for the match it is

  • LeonSymnz Leo (@LeonSymnz) reported

    @toobbroadband All the clowns complaining they can't watch it... Either watch it on Freeview/sky/VM or on your phone/tether. Stop making such a ******* fuss you clowns That said, communication would have been nice. Any ETA? Or info on the issue?

  • LBCbackOnDAB LBCbackOnDAB (@LBCbackOnDAB) reported

    @MartinD64044821 @GBNEWS Is it working on freeview/sky? It’s not working via their app. On their app they are showing an old @andrewdoyle_com show .
