  • 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...😳

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

    Why do I keep paying for TV service which is shit @BTGroup I get better service on indoor freeview aerial

  • quodignoratum Myles Winstone (@quodignoratum) reported from Warrington, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Definitely. We struggle getting Freeview and as you’re not on BT TV I’m missing my fix!

  • 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.

  • 2013jamiepep James Pepperd (@2013jamiepep) reported from St Helens, England

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

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

  • fincardy fin (@fincardy) reported

    Still not sure why on UK freeview you’re never more than 20 minutes away from a programme about Hitler.

  • newpaulhearn Parliament Must Decide (@newpaulhearn) reported

    @danielmgmoylan @GBNEWS What's the Freeview channel number? Never watched it yet.

  • littleblueshed Lynne Aldridge (@littleblueshed) reported

    @helensclegel Not on Netflix, but Great TV (Freeview 50) has that kind of stuff, plus US done-to-deaths such as Murder, She Wrote. As someone with mobility issues, with a partner who has spent over a year recovering after a serious accident, I know about harmless crap TV.

  • mellonfactory Rob Fawcett (@mellonfactory) reported

    @Frasier67Blank @mat8iou @AvaSantina I'd have guessed you could require an encryption key to demux it, but never dug that deep! My only geeky tech involvement was due to national radio controllers complaining about the Freeview graphic colour palette because it wasn’t absolutely compliant with their branding 🙄

  • NathanRuss79 Nathan Russell (@NathanRuss79) reported

    @patwewonuk @LBC @NickFerrariLBC i dont even see a takeaway or a mobile phone in that image just two people holding a sky remote which we know continues to work for freeview without prescription, sounds like he just likes punching down and hangs onto tired old tropes

  • explodingwalrus Carl Draper (@explodingwalrus) reported

    Don't buy @panasonic Freeview recorders if you want to keep more than a thousand recordings per drive, because that's the stupid arbitrary limit they've set on drives. Want to fill up that 6TB hard drive? Tough, the arbitrary limit means you'll barely full it up at all

  • glenistarr Glenn🌛🐎⚽🎾⛳📺🏏🎯🌞 (@glenistarr) reported from Eastbourne, England

    Anyone watching the programme about #Periods at 9pm ewwww !! So crap on TV tonight, I mean for #Freeview that is... probably #Blaze for me 👽🛸

  • Clareyis Clare Boland (@Clareyis) reported

    @virginmedia Why is the basic package so expensive when it's such a poor offering??? Making Freeview look good!!. How do we finish our contracts??? Website down, and staff saying systems down ring back. You aren't worth the £.. especially now!

  • Pepper33 Pepper (@Pepper33) reported

    @UKTVPlayHelp Getting the same error code on the app UKTV-02-V003 I've signed out of Freeview play, signed back in and still the same error code Any help on how to fix? Thanks

  • alljusthuman alljusthuman #FBPE #leavealighton 🇪🇺🇵🇸 (@alljusthuman) reported
