    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!!

    @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.

    Liz Truss has hinted she will announce more help on the cost of living - as Labour calls for the government to make public the plans it is considering. Sky's has the latest 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

  • simesa Simon Ashton (@simesa) reported

    @moogal Are you on Freeview or satellite? Satellite can suffer from rain fade, especially if there’s heavy rain at the uplink and the downlink (home) location. Could be your dish is slightly off-beam which is made worse with all that water in the way of your signal.

    @cutex24 Hi. It may be worth a re-tune if you've not tried that already. If you are still having problems it may be worth contacting Freeview themselves: Problems watching Freeview | Freeview

    We run the tv network sky television freeview masonry illuminati ***** *******

  • BenJohn45874515 Ben Johnson (@BenJohn45874515) reported

    Sky, Virgin Media, BT, Talk Talk, Now TV, Freesat, Freeview. Any other telly service that I might have missed?

  • Deviant_Fart Deviant_Fart (@Deviant_Fart) reported

    The hospital was so damn warm and all I had the energy to do was watch The Big Bang Theory on freeview tv and try to keep down the tiny amounts of grapes and crackers I could stomach.

  • NigelRollings Nigel Rollings (@NigelRollings) reported

    @LesleyB58051421 It's been fine the last two days. This morning, when I switched it on at 10:27, it defaulted to Absolute Radio. I've given up and switched to Freeview for today but it's a dodgy signal!

  • wpoel William Poel (@wpoel) reported

    @karlypants1 @UKTVPlayHelp One problem is that the Freeview platform involves too many cooks but no chef that will take overall responsibility for sorting this type of problem. Maybe a campaign for refunding the TV licence fee would get some attention?

  • iTransmitTweet iTransmitTweet (@iTransmitTweet) reported

    @TVNZ @1NewsNZ can you please fix your live streaming for TV1.. it's been glitchy for the last few days. Only happens on TV1 and none of the other channels. Noticed it on freeview streaming and the TVNZ app, and the glitches happen at the same timecode on different connections.
