    @virginmedia Still not working according to a service website I checked there are issues with tv reception in my area and may not be fixed until 17th, insulting really when I receive your letter telling me you are increasing your prices and has happened before so I’m now watching freeview

    @a516digital Its bad news on those who want freeview reception though. And i have just found com7, on 55, very shy nowadays, havent seen it since about november, so its still broadcasting however, i got my douts its from the local mast.

    @kennethtwist @PeterBoneUK Then don't pay if the BBC is a subscription service. There will be FREEview. The poorest in society would appreciate not be threatened with fines or prison for watching television.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Its excellent lift conditions out side tonight, bad news for freeview users, but great news for long distance reception, my talconeston reception is bang on 100% thats over 68 miles away.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @BenJohn45874515 Freeview is a very patchy service, and what you get very much depends on where you live, if you live near a relay for example you only get around 20 channels, if its a transmitter you get around 70, or half what you get off freesat or the free channels on sky.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital @hischeekiness Well on freeview, they will possibly merge or better still have a time shared service,. Either of those two can empty space for another channel. Such as talk tv in april. Who knows could be part of their plans!

    @FreeviewAdvice Hello, I need some help tuning my TV for Freeview etc. I've tried a few times (and I have a digital aerial) without success. Also trying to update the various apps and that's not working either (the TV is connected to my WiFi).
