    @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.

    Anyone else in Sheffield having Freeview problems the past day or so?

  • JasonDragon1975 Jason Ratcliffe (@JasonDragon1975) reported from Chesterfield, England

    @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%.

    @GBNEWS Sacked and a years hard labour. They need to dedicate their lives to charity causes and never be seen again. I have removed ITV from freeview.

  • sophiejdalston ///expired ferrania/// 📸 (@sophiejdalston) reported

    @AllieDocious @SloaneFragment Freeview boxes still work I think so that would enable a digital signal to be played on an analogue tv, but the question is how they connected it.

  • vnlbeans VNLbeans (@vnlbeans) reported

    @Chr1stop4 @skytv Yep. My Sky Q isn’t working. Been with 20+ years. Tried to phone 3 times now 55 min wait, 40 min wait and 45 mins tonight. It’s unacceptable. Next call will be to cancel, Freeview, Disney and Netflix will be fine for me since they can’t be bothered.
