    @Mark56623345 @a516digital This is was in the digital age as it was only 2 years ago. The Weymouth transmitter is poor, and 95% of residents there have Sky/Freesat, due to the poor Freeview.

    Virgin Media have written to us to let us know our bill is going up to £79. We only have the basic channels. Will be looking to cancel next month. We watch mostly Freeview channels anyway. Just need to find a good broadband provider (who supply a decent router)?

    @bt_uk all your freeview HD channels keep have awful signal quality in last few days for some reason 🤔 has this been reported?

    @poshabroad @dcunited How’s the game? 3 - 0 down! Don’t look like scoring! (Watching it on some freeview channel)

    I tried to find something enjoyable at #Glastonbury2022 that the #BBC were broadcasting on freeview last night.......total fail. Here's hoping they broadcast Roisin Murphey tonight. Otherwise I will await the new season of Jools Holland seeing as he can still get good acts on.

    @PeterMcGuireIE Alternative is to go down the route of a NordVPN connection which usually works with BBC iPlayer and ITV. And then use the Irish TV on-demand services. I love have a TV with that ability to jump between the stations! Film4, BBC3, Sky Arts, Sky News, CNN all available on freeview

    @BBCNews just had a message on freeview that hd is going - this is a huge mistake, I’ve already stopped watching bbc breakfast because the cut to local news gives that tedious message, also never watch local news as it’s ld, itv is all in hd so they’ve won
