    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...😳

    @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..

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • TBeaterson Thom Beaterson (@TBeaterson) reported

    @John_BHarvey Spender never seems to get the same repeat treatment that some other shows from that era get on freeview (or does it?) A shame - I imagine it still stands up.

  • StevenGillespi4 Steven Gillespie. (@StevenGillespi4) reported

    @GBNEWS Meaning I only have Freeview do have access to BBC but that is what it is spinning, Sky cinematic shots of explosions not bad but repeated endlessly GB News doing a sterling job I have heard discussioms & you have taken polls must say it's good.

  • lee_alley Lee Alley (@lee_alley) reported

    I see RT's down on Freeview in the UK.

  • pandorasrockbox Miryam Pan D'ora Rae ~ PandorasRockBox (@pandorasrockbox) reported

    @FreeviewTV freeview completely down? Not working? Why?

  • BananaEzzy12 The Ice Cream Man (@BananaEzzy12) reported

    The thing is with being British and having freeview tv there’s not many ppl I can relate to in cartoons and ****

  • LoveLovePeaceP1 Love_Love_Peace_Peace_Blog (@LoveLovePeaceP1) reported

    @soundofbeauty22 Semis are only shown on Freeview channels in the UK and barely promoted, so only really watched by the fandom. We've never liked that up to now but I'm glad of it this time.

  • ioloj Iolo Jones (@ioloj) reported

    @gaeilge2036 @carolecadwalla @BBC The EU closed down the EU controlled sat feed, so Sky, Virgin, Freeview et al can’t provide a service. If it was down to Boris & Dorries no doubt it would still be live, as it is over the internet. Also, I think that most Tories would argue that the BBC isn’t state controlled.

  • tinopener1 tinopener (@tinopener1) reported

    @theJeremyVine @AyoCaesar You'll never get on GB News (freeview 236) hanging out with these losers.

  • ThatsTVOfficial That's TV (@ThatsTVOfficial) reported

    @rockgod1970 @FreeviewTV If you can’t receive us where you live or you don’t have a Freeview HD TV then you will still normally be able to receive us via the Vision TV portal on Freeview channel 264 (internet-connected TV required) Maybe @FreeviewAdvice can help?

  • cmfitzg cmfitzg (@cmfitzg) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice We have been struggling for many Freeview channels for 2 or 3 weeks now. Postcode is WR2 4PF. When will we get a proper signal again ?
