    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!!

    @Forces_TV What can you do if you have retuned your freeview and Forces TV does not show up on Channel 96. Has my wife used her mysterious mind powers to prevent the signal from entering our abode?

    @IMPACTWRESTLING I used to watch it, but they deserted freeview and went pay per view, never mind I enjoy watching AEW on Freeview lots of Impact Wrestlers have gone there like Hardy for one big name, and there are others including Women

    @BorisJohnson People in rural Devon mid have stone-age broadband, trickle water supplies, no mains sewage, no mobile signal, no freeview signal, no public transport, but plenty of potholes and powercuts. And you want to provide football pitches with taxpayer money?

    @virginmedia I got through eventually but now I have a new problem!! Loads of channels have disappeared. There should be no changes to my package. I’m effectively paying Virgin to supply me with Freeview! What’s going on?

  • smurph25 Jamie Murphy (@smurph25) reported

    @bbcthree Maybe should've added a [*] on Freeview HD number, as it is not available in Wales (part time S4C HD service) and Scotland (BBC Scotland HD).

  • Rosa60044194 Rosa 🌹 (@Rosa60044194) reported

    @FreeviewTV My freeview down all day. Just went off at 9sm this morning and still off. Have tried retuning etc no success! York area. What is the problem?

  • swansonian Graeme Swanson (@swansonian) reported

    I’ve tried to set up my mum’s new Freeview box and it’s not working. I suspect it’s me not the box. Everything online about it brushes over it in a way that suggests only the very stupid wouldn’t know how to do it.

    Coming up shortly on GB News: Chancellor Rishi Sunak will make a statement to the Commons setting out further steps he will be taking to help people deal with this rise. 📺Tune in: Freeview 236, Sky 515, Virgin 626

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    I'd be surprised if a new weekly TV magazine launched. Although I guess it's possible, maybe one just providing listings for Freeview? Of course, not only would this depend on gaining readers, pricing would also be an issue.

    @BbcBring Bollocks! Not in HD on my dog end of a @Freeview service.
