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

    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.

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

  • 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!!

    @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.

  • AinslieTrevor Trevor (@AinslieTrevor) reported

    @ITV can you ask freeview if I can have a tv signal? I’ve asked Santa

  • tashatam14 tashatam (@tashatam14) reported

    @ConsPost @DrSpock_PhD Meanwhile those of us living in older (and new) rural properties have broadband little faster than dial-up and no prospect of anything better as Openreach are too busy servicing newbuild estates. See also poor water pressure, many power cuts, lack of mobile signal, no freeview

  • pauldalrymple Paul Dalrymple 💙 (@pauldalrymple) reported

    @aboveeg By ghosting you mean that shadowy effect there used to be on the old analogue signals years ago? Digital signal seems different ... just breaks up / buffers/ whatever they call it. Its so bad this evening have nothing watchable. We're not on Sky, just Freeview: nothing working.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @Frugal_ways @FreeviewTV Hi Deano, I am so very sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. Please DM your postcode and house name number and we will look into this for you.

  • Donnajoycey Donna Oyjec (@Donnajoycey) reported

    @FreeviewTV so it’s down yet again. It’s 2021, can we really not have a signal when the air pressure is high? Try dealing with someone with Dementia who can’t use iPlayer etc. I’m bloody fuming. We didn’t have this problem with analogue TV. It’s a **** show. #freeview

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @chasnbons @FreeviewTV Hi Phil, I am so very sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. High pressure has been present for a few days and hopefully will move on soon. If you have retuned, you will have to retune again once the weather changes. Thank you, Melissa

  • HamlettGordon Gordon Hamlett (@HamlettGordon) reported

    @TMitC @WeedonsWorld Can't get any TV programmes at all due to Freeview outage in Norfolk. Doesn't appear to be on iPlayer either. Only regular series.

  • TheGrumpyBitch Remaining Grumpy 💙🇪🇺🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🌹YNWA (@TheGrumpyBitch) reported

    @bt_uk I don’t know, I so rarely watch live tv, but it’s Xmas, I have retuned cos freeview reception is so bad, I now have 41 tv aerial channels, all rubbish reception, 141 subscription channels,most I don’t recognise. Four news channels. No HD channels WTF am I paying for?

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @Stephen47763256 @bachelorettem There is a Freeview helpline if problems persist Stephen. 03456 505050

  • scott_eff Scott Macdonald 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇵🇸🇨🇺 (@scott_eff) reported

    @jodimullen I suppose it would be a frankly huge pain in the *** to replace all those ordinary Freeview boxes/in-builds to re-standardise new codecs and data delivery to increase resolution/quality. MPEG-2 really is showing its age on some of these data-starved channels.
