    @drewhill79 @VodafoneUK @MattJConnor @StHKHIS Same here. BT got the 150 mb and it flies. Good support and I stream everything!! Don’t even have normal freeview.

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

    I don't have an ariel or freeview I rely on your piece of shit @virginmedia #VirginMedia

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

  • Toffeewolfie Philip whitehurst (@Toffeewolfie) reported from Liverpool, England

    @rlwjones @Nick_Metcalfe @MarkyBunny They made one champions League game per round free to air..usually the crap games though..they used to have a channel on Freeview..

  • bulldogbyrne julie byrne (@bulldogbyrne) reported from Hindley, England

    @jackiepatie @BertrandRustles I only have freeview and Netflix. No sky, no Disney, no Amazon. I’ve never seen the thing people are talking about.

  • tonester_trader Tony Evans 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@tonester_trader) reported

    @TheDoctor2058 Crap TV reception might be weather related today. My freeview isn't brilliant. Hopefully it'll be back for you soon.

  • richyri42387565 richyrich (@richyri42387565) reported

    @TRUMANHUMAN2020 Ironically the RT channel you can watch on Freeview has good and honest coverage of Assange...Who are the bad guys? Obvious answer🇬🇧🇺🇸

  • AlisonK91305178 Alison Kay (@AlisonK91305178) reported

    @bookyblonde @skytv @TalkingPicsTV Me neither, I've got an old sky box and that still gets tptv, definitely not upgrading, if anything goes wrong with my box, I shall be getting a freeview box instead, it's on there, been a customer for over 25 years, definitely can't do without tptv

  • russeaside1053 russell (@russeaside1053) reported

    @JulieSmith2001 Freeview problems all over..east Yorkshire had trouble 9 months now

  • GeeFHyde G-Man (@GeeFHyde) reported

    @mikeportsmouth We got £40 off very easily by saying we were going to leave, but still too much so will be looking at the options in this thread. But have a good Ariel now so Freeview for us just to decide which broadband to go for. Virgin are awful though. Good luck

  • anon20421494 anon (@anon20421494) reported

    @FreeviewTV Would love to if the entire freeview network was not down.

  • judith17554 judith WOKE 💙 (@judith17554) reported

    @WolfgangDikface No. I only have Freeview, so no option, but I don't think it's my cup of tea. I've not got much patience with fantasy or sci-fi type films/programmes. I have enough trouble with real life.

  • SimonTemplarGB Sebastian Tombs 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🏴‍☠️ (@SimonTemplarGB) reported

    @VeryGameGirl @pensionmonkey Yes, never-ending! Classic drama on Freeview etc.

  • seaghanMK Seaghán🥊🎭 (@seaghanMK) reported

    @a516digital @BBC Thanks done all this. As I have exactly the same issues with BBC FOUR HD on a freesat box (itv/bbc type) which runs off a different dish and on a different tv I really don’t think on this occasion it’s me or my equipment. SD fine. Freeview HD also fine. All other channels ok.
