    @Ossyref I know but it’s not on Freeview. Not everyone has YouTube for TV or ability to watch on app. We ok as have Virgin but it’s still crap they ain’t showing it for others.

  • judge_sweeny JudgeSweeny (@judge_sweeny) reported

    @BBCSport Another unwatchable world cup match due to your AWFUL grasp of surround sound. Commentators volume so low in the Freeview 5.1 mix it makes watching it unbearable.100 years of the BBC and this is how far you've come eh? I'd watch it in 4k if the sound wasn't worse there!

  • TomMaxwell11 Tom Maxwell (@TomMaxwell11) reported

    @AnnalisaB Don't confine yourself to new crap Christmas films, Annalisa -check out 'Great Movies Christmas' at Channel 52 on Freeview, which usually starts its Christmas season in early November. There's enough Christmas dross on there, 24 hours a day, to last you two braindead lifetimes!😳

  • EmmaLovelace Emma Lovelace (@EmmaLovelace) reported

    All channels on Freeview are unwatchable at the moment. Been like that for a few days, terrible service.

    @virginmedia Hi. As part of our broadband/phone package we have the small, internet connected, Freeview box. We have problems with the box. It regularly says that channels are not available despite them ok via app and has to be rebooted several times. Can we get replacement?

  • ThatBlokePotter Stuart Lonergan (@ThatBlokePotter) reported

    @bt_uk please help. how do I download @itvhub on my youview box? I'm connected via ethernet as I cannot pick up freeview

  • Exa_talks Paul (@Exa_talks) reported

    @amazonianwolf @SkyHelpTeam @SkySportsF1 Exactly I watch f1 and that's about it, occasionally rugby but 90% are on Freeview these days. I basically pay to watch f1 and that's it, while my friends across the pond watch in 4k with multiple views telemetry etc all for a few quid a month Vs our stupid numbers

  • juneandnoz June Taylor (@juneandnoz) reported

    @QuestTV No transmission of Quest on Freeview 12. Have retuned the telly to no avail. Can pick up Quest plus 1 on Channel 70. No other Freeview channels affected. Is there a problem with Lincolnshire transmitter?
