    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!!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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...😳

  • 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..

  • 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!

  • beefyfarmer Andrew Bevan (@beefyfarmer) reported

    Anyone else having trouble with the signal on freeview tonight? Solar flare?

  • Trib_Ey Tribey (@Trib_Ey) reported

    Disappointing you very rarely get decent slasher films on Freeview channels. I’d love to see the original 1974 black Christmas and you just thought someone over Christmas might show it that year after year they never do.

  • SimplyAlexBe Alex (@SimplyAlexBe) reported

    @HumaxUK hi I’m having trouble with the @YouTube app on my Humax Freeview play box. I contacted Freeview and they said that I needed to contact you. Is this a known issue? I’ll send u a DM with some video in so you can see

  • Gethin76 Gethin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Gethin76) reported

    @FuudBlog Dunno about Virgin but when you cancel Sky, the box still works as a Freeview box - just with the recording and catch-up services disabled. Never had Virgin TV (never lived in an area where it's available) so dunno if its possible with one of theirs - but worth checking?

  • Itstillhelen Helen (@Itstillhelen) reported

    @JackiHicks @reallychannel @cornwallairamb Don’t know, never used Freeview before 🤨

  • snoop2003 John Wilson (@snoop2003) reported

    @BBCiPlayer hi. Is there a way to turn off the iplayer pop up notifications on freeview so they don’t interrupt the programme I’m watching please?

  • gffcontwitch TWITCH_GAMINGFFC 🇬🇧 (@gffcontwitch) reported

    Oh I just lost signal then #freeview #emmerdale #emleymoor

  • JohnnyReaction John Rickatson (@JohnnyReaction) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Is Freeview down in Baildon, near Bradford?

  • scog27 Stuart (@scog27) reported

    @FreeSports_TV Why can I not get this channel when I have freeview. It doesn’t appear in amongst my channel list? I’ve tried channel 64 several times and I can’t get it. Please help!

  • AntipodeanC Antipodean Collector (@AntipodeanC) reported

    Here in Rotorua Freeview seems to be ****** right now. Several channels show no service (1 for example, what a relief at least to avoid 6 pm broadcast), 10 no volume etc. What's causing this? Anywhere other than Rot?
