    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!!

  • iainsykes2014 Iain Sykes (@iainsykes2014) reported from Blackburn, England

    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

    We live in a digital age. I can find three hundred and twelvety channels of **** on the most basic freeview TV. How on earth could we get lessons to pupils en masse ?

  • Jz20193 n54 (@Jz20193) reported

    Got the live video through Twitter now but jeez man . I’ve watched this happen to a few things I watched I hope yous can overturn given yous are a official radio station. I’ll keep watching but can’t help thinking being on freeview like talksport could help the country massively

  • LJMPetDesigns Lee-Mc (@LJMPetDesigns) reported

    Dear @virginmedia just received your email confirming you are doing a big price hike, during a pandemic, when your level of service is atrocious, I’m basically paying for freeview. Where on my account can I find out when my contract expires, as this is a step too far.

  • Saintstepgar Steve G 🏌🏻‍♂️⛳️ (@Saintstepgar) reported

    @SaintshaneD @virginmedia Call them and explain you cant afford what they are asking for and see what they can do. I did that and my price went down - not by much but all helps. I have 200mb, TV Max (freeview with a few more extra channels) weekend phone 45/m. I stream movies and sport.

  • FanaticRealist Mark S Maquisard 🇪🇺🔶 #LiberalLeftyDoGooder (@FanaticRealist) reported

    @RejoinersRus @joncstone @peterjukes If they were only streaming over the net as an OTT service, they wouldn't. But if they're using broadcast over DAB or Freeview/Freesat, they would.

  • befriendabacter Matt Lloyd Jones (@befriendabacter) reported

    @MilesKing10 I think they discontinued iPlayer/4OD support for PS3 so might be this. Freeview box might be a workaround?

  • DanielCreminUK Daniel Cremin ✂️ (@DanielCreminUK) reported

    @mistylou43 News UK TV is said to be an evening time only service. My understanding is it will be on Freeview, Sky, Virgin and YouTube, etc. Free to air, but advertising based. GB News will be either 18 or 24 hours and will similarly be cross platform. Real choice is coming.

  • RogerGrahamD The Ragpicker (@RogerGrahamD) reported

    @talkRADIO Is there a Freeview channel going spare? Elbow one those awful shopping channels, or better still RT.

  • steveboswell Bozz (@steveboswell) reported

    @a516digital Oh that's interesting. I wonder why I couldn't get it to work. In any case, services like Ketchup's Freeview-play compatible service seem to be the way forward now.

  • RalphGill25 Ralph Gill (@RalphGill25) reported

    @thismorning Schools - Given that we have a National Curriculum why can't lessons be broadcast on additional Freeview TV channels? Most households have more than one way to watch TV and its not relying on broadband. Class teachers can provide support and mark homework.
