    @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...😳

  • 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.

  • 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!!

  • CanveyViews Canvey Views (@CanveyViews) reported

    Trying to work out what causes the interence on UHF 21 474 MHz during the day on Canvey Island. Can't all be down to atmospherics. Would be interested to hear if anyone has any ideas about this issue. It seems to make the Kent freeview comux unwatchable here during daylight hours

  • amnothybrid Anne-Marie Bellerby (@amnothybrid) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Got tired of paying for a service we didn’t use. Bought a Freeview box and have never looked back

  • toaoan Maiden Auntie (@toaoan) reported

    @chronicjayne @ITV So frustrating, but I have seen a couple of people on here say they didn't have any problems watching on Freeview. I was on Sky, how about you?

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @mattohare @UKTVPlay @UKTVPlayHelp Hi, UKTV Play is a catch-up TV app. Freeview is a through aerial service. Freeview doesn't block apps from other parts of the UK. Thanks C

  • timclark59 Tim Clark (@timclark59) reported

    @kuyt01 I cancelled last year got fed up with them treating a long time customer like crap Got Freeview and a now tv stick don't miss it one bit.

  • Mozzer2015 Jim Smith (@Mozzer2015) reported

    @GriffeyHilary @AnthonyICHH @MichaelsCoDub All a VPN does is mask your IP address, BBC is geoblocked in Ireland but with a VPN it makes a new IP Address look like you are in GB. Legal? Who cares? Nobody. You can get bbc free via freesat or freeview in ROI and no legal issues so....

  • christhejani Chris Lincoln (@christhejani) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi I am getting no picture from Freeview on any channel just a message saying the receiver is not getting a signal or the signal is week

  • GaryinScotland Gary Cummins (@GaryinScotland) reported

    @Samsmilew @RonMooreMoreRon Hello Samantha. Freeview channels are all that many receive. In 2021 the BBC chose to show the same program about the DofE across all its national TV and radio stations. Folk never had the option of switching over to another BBC channel.

  • Fetch13 Andrew Bell (@Fetch13) reported

    I've been watching various reruns of Star Trek on freeview. And I can't help from wondering why the Enterprise doesn't have an IT department or at least why Starfleet Engineering doesn't have an IT division.

  • corfgar GarJam 🇬🇷 (@corfgar) reported

    @chiddyj @virginmedia Leave them then rejoin as a new customer later........ Freeview for a month then back to a deal you'd have no chance of getting as a customer.
