  • 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!!

  • 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...😳

  • 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!

  • 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. 👍

  • 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..

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @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.

  • 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

  • CatIpswich Toby the Cat (Ipswich) (@CatIpswich) reported

    @last_of_england I never knew what to think of the film. It left me feeling quite depressed. If they screen it on Freeview, I'll give it a try.

  • HanMarshyVP Abby the Tank's Wife (@HanMarshyVP) reported

    @EarlFlorkin 1. I don't have a TV licence 2. I don't have HBO or Sky Atlantic 3. I only have an SD Freeview box which is super grainy 4. The only way I can watch it is it my friend illegally downloads it for me, which is obviously a bad thing

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @Jan_208 It is a minor problem that occurs once in a while when Freeview change the channel map too frequently. Part of it is broadcasters who fail to update their channel tags.

  • coleenbradshaw Coleen (@coleenbradshaw) reported

    @BBCLeeds Richard, we listen to Radio Leeds on channel 719 on Freeview through the television, this never gets mentioned on your details. from Coleen

  • deeplyclassical The Symphonist (@deeplyclassical) reported

    I see @smithsonian channel which my 88-year-old mum loves, has gone from Freeview and the programmes are now only on paid-for streaming services which her poor eyesight means she can't use. So thanks for that.

  • Our_Lev Lev (@Our_Lev) reported

    @rdllopes @TankieHater @NadiaInBC RT had considerable reach. It was freely available on freeview/satellite platforms and also online. It was cut in a blatant act of censorship - what were they scared of? People asking questions? The stupid masses being brainwashed? The freedom-loving 'west' should be horrified.

  • SimonDainty2 Simon Dainty☮️ (@SimonDainty2) reported

    The exact scale of the problem now showing on FREEVIEW 26 (this not BBC mistake).

  • karkybee karkybee (@karkybee) reported

    @LeeHurstComic sick to death of turning to ch7 freeview expecting to see some true crime documentary and seeing talk @TalkTV on instead..off it goes..viewer figures so bad they have to infiltrate other channels to boost nos? . cuckoo..I don't even know where to fund talk tv otherwise 🙈

  • hispanista Hispanista (@hispanista) reported

    @thefish64 @psychpolis Never used them in the U.K. Freeview was enough + NowTV, Netflix and Prime. My fibre broadband was BT.

  • JonquilLucy Jonquil. (@JonquilLucy) reported

    @GBNEWS 'LIVE now: Sky 512, Virgin 604, Freeview 236, Freesat 216, YouView 236, Samsung 4326, Sky Glass 509, DAB+ Radio, GB News App, YouTube, Online.' And I've never seen one minute. Despite this my Twitter feed is clogged up with your tweets.
