  • 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.

  • Madz999 Mandy Jane (@Madz999) reported

    @Robbie__Bell @ITVX Just finished watching The Twelve - painful experience to say the least - ad breaks not close tent, sound issues, long black gaps - tried on Freeview and Sky and it’s just as bad either way! So glad I don’t pay for premium!!!!

  • MaybeeitsMeee 🐝MaybeeMee🐝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🐝🇬🇧🐝 (@MaybeeitsMeee) reported

    @ITV Help!!. I am three quarters of the way through THe Bay when ITV X went back to the home screen. I cant see the end of the episode without watching it all again. I'm on ordinary freeview,but on a pc as we have a bad reception. This happens every time I watch ITV X now.

  • radiodandy75 Deanna LeCoyte (@radiodandy75) reported

    @LeeroyWildman Freeview Leeroy I am fortunate to have Channel 4 on my phone so no problem I watched it on that instead but it was strange it wasn't on my televisions 🤔 I even went downstairs to see if it was just my bedroom one But the sitting room one didn't have it either 🥺

  • mikechildmusic Mike Child (@mikechildmusic) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Is there some sort of problem with Freeview in southern England? For weeks now, I’ve had certain channels breaking up and some even going missing completely after retuning. I have both 4G and 5G filters and had no problems at all with transmission until recently.

  • CliveRoper Clive Roper (@CliveRoper) reported

    @TalkTV Why is the picture quality on Freeview so poor compared to GB News or even online?

  • WeHo_1985 Dennis (@WeHo_1985) reported

    @B2theRich It was dreadful. Three out of five is extremely generous. It's the type of terrible b-movie you see on a random Freeview channel at 2pm in the afternoon.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @mikechildmusic Hi Mike, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • ReverieKW Rev (@ReverieKW) reported

    Ok but seriously this is actually **** Switching to streaming only when ~1.5 million houses in the UK still have no internet access and mostly rely on freeview channels for entertainment is awful. What will low economic children have for entertainment now

  • SlightlyRobotic RoboticTextMongler2000 (@SlightlyRobotic) reported

    @dangermouse2 @alanshearer @DannoMkII The service isn't the BBC, it's freeview channels and other live TV channels. You don't have to pay it just because you own a device that could do that, only if you use it for that.

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @Broadcastnow Poor move @ITV @ITVX - the channel still rates relatively healthily and in Freeview homes especially is serving an audience who may not have access to reliable online streaming (not that ITVX is a reliable online streamer!)
