    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!!

  • 2013jamiepep James Pepperd (@2013jamiepep) reported from St Helens, England

    I don't have an ariel or freeview I rely on your piece of shit @virginmedia #VirginMedia

  • 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..

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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...😳

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

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

  • 0325_jade Happy birthday Seungmin! (@0325_jade) reported

    Cartoon Network 30th is tomorrow. I'll still be asleep by the time OG Teen Titan shows sadly, and i dont think Freeview even has access to it. All I want to know is more info about the new Total Drama seasons 💀

  • mellonfactory Rob Fawcett (@mellonfactory) reported

    @Frasier67Blank @mat8iou @AvaSantina I'd have guessed you could require an encryption key to demux it, but never dug that deep! My only geeky tech involvement was due to national radio controllers complaining about the Freeview graphic colour palette because it wasn’t absolutely compliant with their branding 🙄

  • glenistarr Glenn🌛🐎⚽🎾⛳📺🏏🎯🌞 (@glenistarr) reported from Eastbourne, England

    Anyone watching the programme about #Periods at 9pm ewwww !! So crap on TV tonight, I mean for #Freeview that is... probably #Blaze for me 👽🛸

  • BallMalcolm malcolm george ball (@BallMalcolm) reported

    @offtheballbbc Brannigan was shown on Talking Pictures TV last night and Tam`s pal used a post box in the middle of Piccadilly Circus. The station has a catchup service on Freeview if you want to watch.

  • SussexGeoff SussexGeoff  (@SussexGeoff) reported

    @Aaronau07516234 @SkyUK Good point! But can say that about any streaming service I guess. Still got Freeview. As it is now I can only watch a few of the Sky channels on NOW

  • greenrascal_ Mike Green (@greenrascal_) reported

    @ragnar23395466 @SkyNews So what are the poor people going to watch? Freeview? I guess they can't afford Sky, Netflix or Amazon either then not to mention the output of new content on the two streaming services would be tiny in comparison with the BBC.

  • littleblueshed Lynne Aldridge (@littleblueshed) reported

    @helensclegel Not on Netflix, but Great TV (Freeview 50) has that kind of stuff, plus US done-to-deaths such as Murder, She Wrote. As someone with mobility issues, with a partner who has spent over a year recovering after a serious accident, I know about harmless crap TV.

  • explodingwalrus Carl Draper (@explodingwalrus) reported

    Don't buy @panasonic Freeview recorders if you want to keep more than a thousand recordings per drive, because that's the stupid arbitrary limit they've set on drives. Want to fill up that 6TB hard drive? Tough, the arbitrary limit means you'll barely full it up at all

  • tangent_tgt Joe Wallis (@tangent_tgt) reported

    @BlankOpenspace @FreeviewAdvice No terestrial TV channels at all in my area LU5 - LU6 and still freeview say everything is perfect. In reality, freeview has been getting worse and worse ever since the so called improvements all this year but today freeview has absolutely "NO" signal at all.
