    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!!

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

  • 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..

    Remember when things like cup finals *had* to be on freeview channels? **** Sky.

  • MarkBentley1966 Mark Bentley (@MarkBentley1966) reported

    @BooOMeringue @BumblingD I live very near to this house. Internet here is very poor. 8mb at ours. No Freeview signal to speak of either, plus we don't even have mains gas. There are many other benefits though.

  • junwinator Junwinator (@junwinator) reported

    @LGUKCare Bought a 2020 LG TV a few weeks ago and I've just realised that Freeview Play and All4 apps are missing and cannot be downloaded. Can you help me to rectify this? Is a software update required?

  • stuart52club Stuart 52% (@stuart52club) reported

    @GBNEWS @JoeBlog21 Help. I can't get all the Freeview channels so have to relay on Freesat. When will you guys come to Freesat?

  • bobk1701 Bob Koopman (@bobk1701) reported

    @dish I would like to see The News Pack as a Free channel preview. It never has been in Freeview before.

  • Carriedenne1 CarrieD (@Carriedenne1) reported

    @GBNEWS @thecoastguy No doubt a stupid question but do you have to have a Freeview TV & if you don't what is the device I need to get?

  • FreeviewTV Freeview (@FreeviewTV) reported

    @MaggieMossop Hi Maggie, Thanks for your inquiry today! Unfortunately, we at Freeview do not decide what is shown on the channels therefore, a choice like this would be down to a broadcaster to make. Thanks again, Dev.

  • Survivingin2020 Surviving2021 (@Survivingin2020) reported

    @NOWMusic Thank god its only for a short time, my sky dish won't pick up Now80's, its on one of the dodgy low frequencies, really going to miss it until its back on Freeview, you need to fix that sky frequency.

  • beezly Andrew Beresford (@beezly) reported

    Anyone else getting weird audio problems with @BBCLookNorth on BBC1 Freeview from Emley Moor transmitter?

  • em_mulhollandx Emily Mulholland (@em_mulhollandx) reported
