  • 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!!

  • 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!

  • 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.

    @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.

  • DJGaryBaldy DJGaryBaldy (@DJGaryBaldy) reported

    @Petwill1 It really is time Gold And Alibi were made Freeview channels I can't afford Sky or Virgin TV. I refuse to sign up to a streaming service. Most of the stuff on Gold has been played to death.

    Oh dear! The #Freeview signal has failed again! It happens every so often. #Newhaven

  • Jan_208 JAN ☠ (@Jan_208) reported

    @brianwinteruk I remember updating Freeview, half of the channels never came back & it always had to be scanned a few times.

  • SimonDainty2 Simon Dainty☮️ (@SimonDainty2) reported

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

  • 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.

  • lhsaapso1 Jennifer Johnson (@lhsaapso1) reported

    @virgosam70 Jeremy Kyle was on the Liverpool TV channel causing trouble for Harry I switched off as soon as I heard Kyle putting Harry down, he lost his job on the Jeremy Kyle show for being abusive, now Kyle is being abusive on the Liverpool freeview channel, he too is vile and abhorrent.
