    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!!

    When they last shifted the Freeview channels around, some idiot didn't seem to realise that the Channel 4 timeshifted channel "4seven" was on channel 47 for a reason...

    @Johnnywas25 @darrengrimes_ @CommonsDCMS I don’t watch Freeview. I don’t have a aerial. As for broadband. That was NOT funded by the TV Licence. I’m on Virgin Media’s fibre network, don’t believe they’ve had any public funds. You’re referring to BT, who have, but have no connection to my property.

    @landofthe80s @80sThen80sNow @80s_Kidz A note for #Airwolf fans out there, Paramount Network, UK Freeview ch.32 are showing 'Airwolf' again between 1.10am & 4.50am every night.

    @PopcornBambino @WeAreWST Stuck between a rock and a hard place. I think it's important that snooker retains a Freeview presence. It's not as popular or as affluent as other sports. Saying that, the BBC treats it like an after thought and a way of filling daytime schedules. It's coverage is often poor.

    @HjRobins @MaxCCurtis There used to have a few hundred homes they would survey, and extrapolate fron that. These days, digital TV boxes (Sky, Freesat, Virgin, some Freeview, etc, as well as streaming services send much more accurate data down the phone line about what you're watching.

  • TheAerialManUK The Aerial Man (@TheAerialManUK) reported

    Aerial install to a roof today after the chimney stack had been repaired. All done the day the scaffolding came down to avoid any disruption to the owner. #freeview

    @YardleyShooting DVLA tracking people down on behalf of scammer parking companies run by criminals - this is working 'effectively' - on "Cant't Pay Won't Pay" on Freeview there was case where they got £2 fee to go to £2000. That business is working - the scam business, aided & abetted by judges
