    @cefinroberts I've seen better garbage on Freeview channels, like Dave....

  • chris_sucksmith Chris (@chris_sucksmith) reported from East Cowes, England

    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

    @Sonic_Sinclair @bbcmicrobot Technically it is, there's support for it in DVB. There's several channels on DVB satellite that uses it, not sure there's any on freeview. Certainly all the original services shutdown or moved to MHEG. The BBC mheg service was incredible but that's shutdown now too 🙁

  • dook42_domini Dook 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇳🇿 (@dook42_domini) reported

    freeview has been largely unwatchable for months since they took off the 5G bands for mobile networks... let alone with atmospheric issue today.. only channel which seems reasonable at the moment is @horror_channel

  • David__Brunt David Brunt (@David__Brunt) reported

    @pipmadeley I've got the same problem. On the backup freeview aerial so it's not urgent to fix. Local firm I queried with is callout at £50 to cover for up to an hour. Parts and repair £20 on top. If it's a long job you could be looking at £100+.

  • JAQKpanda ♦♠JAQK♥♣🐼Vtuber! (@JAQKpanda) reported

    @KatiKnitt That really sucks. We have the TV license here in the UK, but if you don't actually consume "live TV" (BBC, freeview, live sports, etc.) then you don't actually have to pay for it; in my case, all I use is YT, Twitch & stream subs. Shocking and aggravating that you're forced to!

  • dook42_domini Dook 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇳🇿 (@dook42_domini) reported

    would be nice to be able to watch the #eurovision2022 - youtube geo blocking, iplayer says no (geo blocked again), and freeview reception terrible.

  • runilon Runilon (@runilon) reported

    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!

  • StuartDillon1 Stuart Dillon #COYI (@StuartDillon1) reported

    @jonesy_nb I liked Norway's. I was watching it on Freeview but I've lost the signal so watching it on iplayer as well

  • 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.

  • 8bitToNow TripTheConsole (@8bitToNow) reported

    The Freeview is down in my area. As #Eurovision is on, I thought I had a lucky escape but nope...the Mrs has just beamed it over iPlayer. Eurghhh 😔

  • Kazza6900 Karen 🧙🔮💜🕊 (@Kazza6900) reported

    @LuckyLu31582986 @virginmedia Switched over to freeview and having no problems at all. I was thinking it was @virginmedia problems

    @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.
