    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.

    Anyone having problems with broadband & TV from @virginmedia in London? Getting error codes CS3300, CS2004. TV picture starts flickering & either wifi drops or runs very slowly! Freeview is fine. Not getting the service we paid for!

    @danielcox194 if freeview - atmospheric issues

  • RudolphUcker 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚒𝚝 𝚖𝚞𝚎𝚜𝚕𝚒  (@RudolphUcker) reported

    There is definitely a place amongst the 100+ channels we have on Freeview / freesat for something like Classic FM TV. I miss that, but it got lazy, and had pretty poor sound and picture quality.

  • MarcAllen81 Marc Allen (@MarcAllen81) reported

    @vistaextra @Callumizatt @virginmedia Definitely a Virgin problem... all channels not just those. I've switched to freeview and it's fine.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @WASPCommander Sadly we don't control your signal strength, you need to speak with your service provider, who should be able to advise you/help you. Is its Freeview? Freeview advice line on 03456 505050.

  • Iain643 Iain Dear (@Iain643) reported

    @FoggWee This is true Yesterday morning flicked across to the TalkingPictures TV Channel 82 freeview Anyway short film about centre of London from 1935!!! and Westminster was covered in Scaffolding I thought that's not bad 87 Years later nothing has changed

  • TJStamp TJ Stamp (@TJStamp) reported

    @jaredspx @natehiggins Tried several… freeview, freesat, YouTube, TikTok… all are bad but iPlayer is best in class at the moment.

    @B3tan_Tyronne What channel/service is it on? I don’t do pirating though. Not since I downloaded House of Cards and wound up with a series of videos of Freeview 232
