    @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.

  • 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!!

  • 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.

  • Toffeewolfie Philip whitehurst (@Toffeewolfie) reported from Liverpool, England

    @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..

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

  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

  • 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!

  • 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...😳

  • scousepie Emma (@scousepie) reported

    Hotel’s not bad at all. One of them little gaffs where they’ve got several and I had to carry my suitcase up three flights of stairs, but an unexpected fridge and if I can work out how to get the Freeview on I’ll be absolutely laughing here. Sainsbury’s over the road an all.

  • intouchwithox David Oxendale M7OXY (@intouchwithox) reported

    @transdiffusion I was there. With the red square of signal death. What a great team we had at Ondigital. It's a pity it was doomed to fail from the outset - but every time I use Freeview, I'm glad we did what we did to make DVB happen.

  • KateKennedy66 Kate Kennedy 💙 (@KateKennedy66) reported

    Anyone having issues with BBC channels on Freesat channels? Ok on my Freeview. Checked cables and sat dish, but all seems fine. All other channels are fine, just BBC pixelating? SW Scotland here.

  • NargacugaGale 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒔 𝑾𝒊𝒇𝒖 (@NargacugaGale) reported

    Dear Freeview, why do you always air the same **** from night's ago? Or stuff like movies, which where shown a week ago? Do you know how many movies and show's there is? Change thing's up cause repetitive crap every day, every week of every month of the year- ain't worth paying

  • positiv07652695 positive vibes 💚💙 (@positiv07652695) reported

    @LizahatesTories They said they could offer more for the same money but wouldn’t/couldn’t bring the price down. We’ve all got data on our phone so the other option would be freeview but it’s so limited. Mustn’t grumble if we want the tv and broadband.

  • frankensteirer yoo hoo (@frankensteirer) reported

    @MyNottingham @MikeBeardPhoto Can somebody fix area masts to clifton NG11 9H area since the new build started we've had freeview issues now threes showing as complete service loss we always used to be least able to get 3g and 4g it's a major city and cliftons huge massive student population should be full 5g

  • BobHuckin Bob Huckin (@BobHuckin) reported

    @nicperrins The only inconvenience we suffered was the loss of some Freeview HD channels on Thursday night at the back end of storm one. Switching to SD was as bad as it got. We got away very lightly

  • curlyjimsam Jim the Jim (@curlyjimsam) reported

    @RealFloppyLion we were never able to pick up Channel Five on terrestrial, so we had four channels right up until we got Freeview

  • Faster_Martyr Dougie Trickett 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺💙 (@Faster_Martyr) reported

    @AndyDJey @AntAnstead I had recorded it on Quest,Freeview channel 12, or QuestHD on Freeview channel 114 in the U.K.. But I think it’s also on Motortrend on demand service.

  • Jackphe05306203 Jack phelps (@Jackphe05306203) reported
