  • 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.

  • 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!!

  • 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.

  • EssexRocker Dave (@EssexRocker) reported

    Disappointed that @skytv without a dish was announced as #SlyGlass and not the service launched in other countries. Seriously, WTF is that? I'll be stuck with Freeview and the limited features of @NOW for a while 🙁💩

  • Mr_0151 ☃️ (@Mr_0151) reported

    We had tv wallahi I’m talking freeview we never had cable as they say...

  • DissBugBear BugBear (@DissBugBear) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Getting VERY poor reception in Diss at the moment from Freeview/Tacolneston, but that's likely a transmitter problem, not you.

  • steeleyp_ PS (@steeleyp_) reported

    @LucyTurner_x @skytv Yes, £10 per month no matter how many pucks you have. The £50 per box charge is steep though. If broadband goes down, you can’t access any content as it doesn’t have a hard drive so you won’t even have recordings to watch. Only way around that is to have an aerial for Freeview

  • mvpnrs MVPNRS (Alex belfield he's a liar!) (@mvpnrs) reported

    The Freeview ITV channels they are down! ITV ❌ ITV+1 ❌ ITV HD ✅ ITV2 ❌ ITV + 1 ✅ ITV3 ❌ ITV4 ❌ ITVBe ✅ #Freeview

  • runnerbrite Max Richens 💙 (@runnerbrite) reported

    @charlesarthur @BBCMoreOrLess Only Freeview. Freesat ones are a bit more expensive as generally on larger Sony boxes if I stayed Sony.. Though I also have a Panasonic freesat TV which works ok. But an issue is that the current one works so I am reluctant to add it to the heap of discarded electronics.

  • FrequencyFormat Frequency Formation (@FrequencyFormat) reported

    Dear ITV Put some money in your meter, your channels have gone done down on Freeview.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Problems with ITV on Freeview do appear to be linked to the assembling of the D3&4 multiplex.

  • RobertF44768549 RAWriter (@RobertF44768549) reported

    @KerryDaynes @ClairClair211 I can't get Freeview (no terrestrial aerial). Curiously, Discovery+ isn't on FreeSAT, which I do get. Maybe there's some streaming service that includes it - I'll investigate.
