    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.

  • ronniet240 Ronnie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 (@ronniet240) reported

    Has anyone else noticed how many times you have too retune FreeView? I’ve seen any difference in programs of which they conveniently make a statement off say You may not see any difference. So my question is what are they either uploading or down loading???

  • uncriticalsimon Simon 🤖 (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, Wales

    Why is the BBC World Service so hard to obtain EXCEPT in the one area which is explicitly not the target audience? In the UK the World Service is available 24/7 on DAB and I think Freeview and Freesat/Sky.

  • baileys36 Jenny Lewis (@baileys36) reported

    @MuzzaRobbo @FreeviewTV I've had no signal since Sunday and still nothing. I've had a filter fitted and still Freeview is rubbish. it's time you got these issues sorted

  • Stardiag Star Diag (@Stardiag) reported

    @beverleyturner @virginmedia Its a crap service anyway. Switch to BT or freeview.

  • FredFirst1 Fred Fukovinov MOP☮ (tweeting Fred). (@FredFirst1) reported

    Yeah, FREEVIEW 702 is using old movie labels behind to ease the vision problems of 50-60 yr olds because they believe the **** confusing the prices of music videos did it without knowledge or care of their reason to do it and comparing stupidity with bands instead of themselves.

  • a11who Gary Percival (@a11who) reported

    @TPTVEncore Hi folks. This may be a silly question but does the red button service work on a Freeview TV that isn't connected to wi-fi? My brother lives in north Wales and can get @TalkingPicsTV but has no wi-fi or even a landline. Should he be able to use the red button still?

  • feetsby Colin Troy 🇺🇦 (@feetsby) reported

    @NMBCo @hardistymark Pretty sure East Midlands Today is a standard definition signal slapped into an HD channel. Just got freeview to save money, back to the ol’ ‘High Def not available in your area’ message. If we want to see our news broadcasters in high def, we have to see them down the pub.
