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

    @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%.

    @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.

    Movie Pick of the Day (UK Freeview) Nightbreed (1990) Dir. Clive Barker Horror Channel - 22:55 I despised Nightbreed when it was released, but only because of how much of an utter **** Craig Sheffer was in Some Kind of Wonderful, three years previous. I hold grudges.

    @911Amelia @anetevt @SkyNewsBreak Why would anyone watch Sky News? I can get their "News" channel on Freeview but have hidden the channel to keep my blood pressure down.

  • EmilyKitv Emily Knight (@EmilyKitv) reported

    @YarnallKate @itvanglia @GMB Hello, I’ve looked into this. If you are watching on the ‘ plus one’ service you’ll get Meridian, of if you are watching on HD Freeview, also defaults to Meridian. Hope this helps 🤞

    @ryleydavison I had a sky box but no subscription, was just fancy freeview. Used to go down and still the card when my parents fell asleep

  • racefaceec90 adam cunningham (@racefaceec90) reported

    @discoveryplus thank the gods this is subscription only,as i will never ever have to watch any of it on freeview. jesus christ can your bloody adverts too (every 5 mins or less it seems on just about all channels). i will never want to watch any of your programs.

  • robotmaths RobotMaths (@robotmaths) reported

    @Paul_Monk One of the Freeview channels is showing episodes weekly. It's SO SLOW. If we find bingeing them on DVD tedious, what it must have been like for the non-streaming crowd.

  • Dr_Jon John Michael Leslie (@Dr_Jon) reported

    @Theking06810787 @CountBinface I don't get this, it's never gone away on Freeview, just press the Text button on your TV's remote while on BBC1, BBC2 or BBCNews and you're good to go: Page ideas: 101 = News headlines 302 = Football Headlines 360 = F1 Headlines 400 = Weather

  • trevorlong Trevor Long (@trevorlong) reported

    @JamesCridland @EFTM No mate, because you're the only one on the planet who cares:))) sorry... cross carry of EPG was an issue when i was at SBS - industry doesn't care, put too much effort into Freeview+ instead of the basic EPG - I hear ya... but, I'd be sticking with fetch:)

  • LJconservation Linda Kemp (@LJconservation) reported

    @SamanthaMalin We've been having problems over here too with signal dropout and pixelation. We aren't on Sky though, just Freeview. We weren't sure if our Humax box was on the blink as it's quite ancient now. Perhaps it's the 5G in the vaccines affecting the signal Lol!!!

  • mrssheardy Sarah Sheard (@mrssheardy) reported

    @plusnethelp the remote I have for the freeview plus box doesn’t work even after changing batteries, are you able to help with this please?
