    @ITV Help!!. I am three quarters of the way through THe Bay when ITV X went back to the home screen. I cant see the end of the episode without watching it all again. I'm on ordinary freeview,but on a pc as we have a bad reception. This happens every time I watch ITV X now.

    @space_librarian @libmichelle We never went above BBC Four on Freeview, unless it’s a hop to Cbeeies - thank god that worked. Our home-made internet was actually better than the BT provider, but our booster aerials were in the church spire and the pub… which made Teams calls weird in lockdown

  • Hellcidlives Hellcid (@Hellcidlives) reported

    @WheresWilly8 @Notregistered66 @Maxaretunit And the signal goes on the Mendip tower leaving people unable to watch Freeview

  • CliveRoper Clive Roper (@CliveRoper) reported

    @TalkTV Why is the picture quality on Freeview so poor compared to GB News or even online?

  • space_librarian Lorna Robertson (@space_librarian) reported

    @angefitzpatrick @libmichelle I have lived IN Edinburgh for the past 12 years. Our last house is on the edge of the city but definitely in it. On rainy days Freeview only picked up 4 TV channels and when we moved out in 2019 there was still no cable so internet was glacially slow.

    of all the streaming services I use (there are many as I don't have freeview, sky or virgin) @ITV is by far the worst... works as and when it wants, freezes, jumps, and won't let you pause/rw or fw... thank goodness I don't watch many of their shows...

  • dcole0007 Danny (@dcole0007) reported

    @supertanskiii I want to but I use a streaming service that includes Freeview. I’d like @bbc to be independent of any govt Tory or @UKLabour . It needs to become a subscription service

  • HeadingtonBard Alex Aris (@HeadingtonBard) reported

    Is anyone having problems with @FreeviewTV at the moment through an aerial? We've only got 53 channels and can't get channels 1-6 either. #television #freeview #tv

    @Ayrhead2 @jeffsprogress @ColinBrazierTV A TV Licence covers you to: watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat) watch live on streaming services (e.g. ITVX, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now, Sky Go) use BBC iPlayer*.

    @beth__moreton In saying that, my area doesn't have CITV (or the mux it broadcasts on) on Freeview as it's a relay. So I've never been able to access it via Freeview (but it can be on Freesat which is more of an expense to set up...)
