    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.

    @jubbsxx where are you watching it? i haven't experienced much of this apart from the sound and lighting issues, but i have also been watching it on my phone. i have heard reports of most issues originating from freeview, which has bandwidth issues or something. criticism is good though!

  • wordspinster Debbie Cameron (@wordspinster) reported

    @DrClaireH Discovering that this is available on Freeview has vindicated my policy of only ever retuning when I suddenly lose a channel I actually watch--every time I do retune I get mesmerised by a bunch of new and terrible additions

  • ColinWelsh3 Colin Welsh (@ColinWelsh3) reported

    @paddypower Tell everyone to turn over to the BBCRB service 601 on freeview you get the radio commentary with Jermaine Jenas 🕺

  • SteveD26185065 Steve Daly 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿&🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@SteveD26185065) reported

    @GBNEWS @afneil Such a shame you’re all the way down the freeview channels on no.236 while the BBC are still squatting on the defunct BBC3 freeview channel no.7… Maybe after the teething troubles are sorted this is something to aspire to? Kindest regards

  • YoungOneUK AndyYoung (@YoungOneUK) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @Jamesmack007 @GBNEWS Speaking with people across my Town and troubleshooting with others across the internet. GBNews on Freeview is slightly blurry and fuzzy. This would suggest it is a Freeview transmission issue not a receiver issue as others are having the exact same problem.

  • skull441234 Flaue Xzergi (@skull441234) reported

    @Daily_Express HD on freeview tho, poor picture quality, unwatchable...

  • Dr_Rave Dr Rave ✨🦋👩🏼‍🎤💫 (@Dr_Rave) reported

    @ofthesparrows When I was in halls and using freeview I used an Argos portable Ariel for my signal That ws before the analogue shutdown so not sure how easy they would be able to get now The signal strength was limited with that & from my room / location such I could only watch a few channels

  • steveja89368890 stevie JJ . (@steveja89368890) reported

    What’s all this fuss about regarding @GBNEWS Only problem I found when watching on Freeview was the sound.

  • man_dobro DobroMan (@man_dobro) reported
