    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.

  • DBD365 Paul Day (@DBD365) reported

    @JohnyG29 Right, forget that, forget that. WHY, WHY ******** does there seem to be AN ENTIRE CHANNEL on Freeview called "Classic Who Wants To Be A Millionnaire"?

  • GlobalClarity1 South East Sean (@GlobalClarity1) reported

    @FreeviewTV Why can’t Crystal Palace tower reach DA17? Ariel engineer put my aerial to Woolwich because of CP tower not providing a decent service. Yet your website says we should receive perfect Freeview. I am currently only getting clear picture & sound on 8 of 148 channels

  • don_mac D Mac (@don_mac) reported

    @Danny_McMoomins Its going to be able on Freeview 643 or something even after the **** grot channels. The daytime TV Gammon's will never reach it too many world war 2 docs, reruns of lovejoy and homes under the hammer to skip through first.

  • MichaelCJDavid Michael (@MichaelCJDavid) reported

    @ivorsawbottom This needs to be good, Ivor. I’m holding you personally responsible for the lousy Freeview TV signal, I’m getting from the transmitter, at Rowridge, on Paradise Island. It just won’t do, you know.

  • just_call_me_DK Dreamkiller (@just_call_me_DK) reported

    @IanCornwell6 @GBNEWS I'm screwed. Don't have Sky or any other paid for service & only get limited freeview service due to our location. Looks like we won't be able to get @GBNEWS. To be honest though, I'm just glad it'll be there, hopefully challenging some of the ridiculous shite that's happening.

  • Peno_007 Paul P (@Peno_007) reported

    @dlhmarketing @GBNEWS Freeview 236, Sky HD 515, Virgin Media HD 626, YouView 236, Freesat HD 216, mobile, online & audio Happy to help.

  • Omz2468 Omz2468 (@Omz2468) reported

    @davidbicknell1 The little Englanders are about to have their own TV station in a few days time. Why aren't we all donating to someone such as @BylineTV (I am) ? Let's help get them on Freeview, even if it's only just a few hours per day initially

  • kennyhegney Kenny, so called, Hegney (@kennyhegney) reported

    Because my phone is a Universal Credit special I've never downloaded BBC Sounds. Recently( in an attempt to get work) I went without food so I could get Internet plumbed in. Yesterday I found Sounds on Freeview Player so listened to final episode of #BatterseaPoltergeist

  • veryoldbilly Bill Swan (@veryoldbilly) reported

    @BBCMonitoring @Ofcom @Freeview To whom can one report TV reception problems? Freeview and Ofcom direct to the BBC’s site, which requires 15 minute completion of details before announcing that ‘there was a problem - please try again’. Repeatedly. No TV reception for 3 days
