  • 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!!

  • 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.

  • groovicat groovicat 💚 (@groovicat) reported from Adlington, England

    @Sillyshib Heartbeat, ssshhh, it's never been off. You can watch Heartbeat every day on freeview

  • karlmcintyre Karl McIntyre (@karlmcintyre) reported from St Helens, England

    @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.

  • 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!

  • dawny_smith Dawny Smith (@dawny_smith) reported

    @Jillian22Betsy never had a subscription. Don'r have sly, virgin, netflix or anything other than freeview. Cancelling my mobile phone contract & dropping out as much as possible.

  • hygienistdirect ShaunyF1Mcl🧡 (@hygienistdirect) reported

    @buckstack4 I just do freeview, prime and NOW I cancel NOW during the closed season. F1 is the only sport I watch and at £25 pm it is an affordable way to watch the racing (very nearly) live

  • jus_leese Justin Leese 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💙🇺🇦🌻 (@jus_leese) reported

    @RestoreTVHelp I’ll post your response into the Facebook Group in question. There are about 6 people reporting recent problems with Freeview through an aerial in Llantwit Major. I’ve put a generic postcode for the town into your checker and it’s an area which should have received your postcards

  • SueJaneUK1 Sue Jane UK (@SueJaneUK1) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I can receive Really during the day but as soon as evening comes it either loses its signal completely or is blocky and freezes. All other Freeview channels are fine. Have checked aerial, transmitter, my electricals & retuned. TA24 6AH house number 16.

  • Andrew_Willcox Andy (@Andrew_Willcox) reported

    @Richardt1850 @VodkaSrups We realised we watched one channel that wasn’t on freeview…we now pay for every streaming service there is and don’t even get close to the same price.

  • Gers89_ Greegsy's Gloves (@Gers89_) reported

    @tattoo_stew69 Their box is like one of those freeview boxes from about 10-15 years ago. No apps on it or anything. Poor selection of channels, reception was terrible and kept cutting out. They were bastards about trying to move back to Sky (even though they have a 14 day cooling off period)

  • sussexterrier Kevin Beaumont (@sussexterrier) reported

    Tried to watch "Putin - the road to War" on PBS America and PBS America + 1 - 84/87 on freeview. Unwatchable owing to "interference". Never any problems with this channel previously. I wonder....

  • 1brokenpanda Zander 💙🐼🌹🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇪🇺🇺🇦 (@1brokenpanda) reported

    @Mrs_Quickly I wouldn't even steal it on a hooky box literally worthless. No intrinsic value, yet idiots fork out anywhere from £20-£120 a month for the meritricious crap served up by murdoch and 90% plus of what they watch is on #freeview

  • elniedunne Eleanor Greene (@elniedunne) reported

    @AnnMSinnott @Virgin We have sky phone and broadband. Freeview TV, never bothered paying for extra.

  • mar17014531 Amad09 🇺🇦🇪🇺💚🌍🌳🚲 (@mar17014531) reported

    @Centuries_Sound @scottygb I always wonder why on earth the BBC doesn't use one or more of the Freeview channels to broadcast programs from its archive. There are hundreds of wonderful old shows that never get seen. Wasted opportunity 🙁
