    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!!

    "BBC Four HD will return soon" is not a glowing example of brilliant customer information, Freeview. 99.9% of us are not TV experts and would quite like at least some hint as to what "soon" might mean. For this channel, even I notice the difference between HD and SD.

    @glasound I have SKY broadband, no problems, don't have SKY TV just Freeview on a Smart TV

    @Page_888 @russty_russ Interesting. For the period of time between the collapse of ITV Digital and the launch of Freeview, I suppose it made sense for there to be DTT boxes manufactured. I didn't realise that Top-Up TV had anything to do with Freeview, as I thought it was a separate platform/service.

    @lungz77_ @foxylocksy1 I have got Sky with basic Netflix coming Friday, maybe I will be able to see it. I had to do something to escape Freeview. It's that bad tonight I've got Heartbeat on. 😐

  • MagicSky_UK Nick Francis (@MagicSky_UK) reported

    @BBCNews wonderful new Webb telescope images, yet we now have to watch on Freeview in standard definition as no HD signal 🤷.

  • HolylandCulchie Holylands Culchie (@HolylandCulchie) reported

    @EamonHegarty I literally watched the match on Freeview via NI and check on my phone too. I was able to stream it via both the RTÉ player app and website. We have Virgin media and a ****** indoor aerial and even it picks up RTÉ Freeview signal.

  • EmmaLovelace Emma Lovelace (@EmmaLovelace) reported

    Now getting 71 Freeview channels today, down from 96 yesterday. Well down from a 147 in the colder times.

    Horror channel no longer on Freeview and replaced by Legend channel.. I knew this was going to happen after RT News got the boot. I just can imagine the christofascists taking over the media saying it was demonic and **** … reality has become the horror channel

  • TizerBawz TB (@TizerBawz) reported

    Help. Can a sky satellite dish be used as an aerial for a freeview box?
