    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!!

    @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..

  • 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.

  • BendyCuteness Abby Addison (@BendyCuteness) reported

    I mean don’t get me wrong I definitely get more cam shows offering free preview but can get tiring with time wasters you just know ain’t going to spend money. Some of them come in freeview daily and never wanna spend like why bother doing that on AW 🙄

  • AmyTeamLH Amy-Stream Eternal Love! (@AmyTeamLH) reported

    Of course the high pressure around the UK currently would be playing up with our TV signal. Honestly 😑 #Freeview

  • A_MrBenMitchell Ben Mitchell  (@A_MrBenMitchell) reported

    Any good freeview IPTV providers in the UK? My grandparents TV is really slow loading the guide, it takes 10 seconds. Also apps like Netflix and Prime never went above 1080p. Constantly had wifi issues. So we got a firestick …

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @getback39 All the updates we have are available on the Freeview website. I'm not aware of any issues that would happen in winter due to it being a temporary transmitter. Anne

  • AoOldaker Adam Oldaker (@AoOldaker) reported

    @Andy_Gez_ Trying to but I have to go online to get it. I shouldn't read too much into it I'm sure it's just a coincidence Freeview in my area can't get it. But at a time it needs to improve hearing the rumours of Andrew Neil leaving is the worst news. Also I think I prefer talk radio tv.

  • KramG4 Kram G (@KramG4) reported

    @glastonbury @BBCTwo Or better yet, flick to channel 898 on Freeview, has a classic episode of Paint Drying... doesn't feature any **** music or drugged up hippies.

  • stephen_j_moran Stephen Moran (@stephen_j_moran) reported

    Virgin Media broadband is brilliant, phone line and mobile sims good, but their TV offering is poor. Alas, they package them all together. Their basic TV offering is no better than Freeview. The rest are exorbitant Sky packages etc. Apps dead slow through TiVo. Firestick v fast.

  • Mathew94379832 Mathew (@Mathew94379832) reported

    @erawneb @IanDunt I watch Netflix, Amazon, Youtube and aubscribe to some quality US on line news sources (mostly financial) (And I cut my sat dish cable also..) Freeview - yeah thats a problem..!

  • steelclogs Mr Mick NL 🇳🇱 (@steelclogs) reported

    @AlarmBell You could download @euronews Al Jazeera is about the best. I subscribe to De Stentor and De Telegraaf for the local & national news, BBC1 & BBC2 come free with my KPN package. I can watch all the Freeview channels but it's all game shows and recycled 80s crap.
