    Not a happy boy my @bt_uk broadband is down and wont be fixed to next week will have to go and buy a freeview box I guess especially with this sporting weekend

  • Unruly_Brit THE BRITISH RESISTANCE🌊🇪🇺🇺🇸🇬🇧📷🗽🎥 (@Unruly_Brit) reported from Plymouth, England

    Since I've removed my freeview box, I've never frlt so liberated before. Being in absolute control of the content I wish to see (My dvd collection) is the best thing I've ever done. No more Sky News or BBC News being rammed down my throat evry day.

  • haydonbeagley Haydon Beagley (@haydonbeagley) reported from Plymouth, England

    @bt_uk / @BTCare odd one I’ve been facing since I took out BT TV is the sound levels from my YouView box are super quite. Change over to my TVs built-in Freeview or my AppleTV and I’ll be needing to turn down the TV. Tried different TVs/SoundBars/Cables.

    @petercrouch Are you talking about Freeview, Freesat, Sky or Virgin Media? Actually, forget it, I'm not that interested in your first-world, millionaire 'problems.'

  • TangeMusic TangeMusic (@TangeMusic) reported

    @VonBarronshire @petercrouch Because there isn't enough capacity to have more HD channels than there already are on Freeview transmitters, unless all the SD channels were shut down, and they can't do that yet as too many people still watch them.

  • paulwebster Paul Webster (@paulwebster) reported

    Impressed to see that @TalkingPicsTV now has a Freeview Red Button service. HbbTV (Freeview Play) so older TVs might not work - and requires Internet connection.

  • SkyHelpTeam Sky Help Team (@SkyHelpTeam) reported

    @FeralAtticus1 All Sky Q equipment is loaned out to our customers & would need to be returned. When you cancel the Sky TV services the box will not work at all. You would not even get Freeview channels through it. You only need to return the equipment which Sky asked you to return. Lainy

  • TomDavi8165081 Tom1871 (@TomDavi8165081) reported

    @RobertsonG Thank you. I am aware of that & would put it down to that, but it started happening on the odd occasion even months ago. Strange 🤔. I retuned my freeview box to see how that goes & chose South East instead of South / Southampton, just in case.

  • Lemonhunny Lemonhunny (Lesley) 💉💉💉💙💙 (@Lemonhunny) reported

    @Toughtruth5 @StGilesHighKirk Nobody had to have it on 24/7. If you did, you're stupid. I probably haven't watched 3 hours all told, because amazingly in 2022, there are lots and lots of other free channels, showing regular programmes, even without subscriptions (Freeview etc). Or maybe, just turn it off?

  • pigeonmount Paul Hawkins (@pigeonmount) reported

    @BBCLauraKT Welcome to 'Mournhub'. Thank gawd for freeview, Netflix etc. If it really get s bad I'll dust off my videos!

  • PiaKristmansson Pia Kristmansson (@PiaKristmansson) reported

    @FreeviewTV My freeview is down… 🥹

  • EastLight EastLight (@EastLight) reported

    @mashcore4mums @a516digital Not sure if the small delay on BBC 1 vs News is intentionally added, or related to the feed passing through regional centres? Freeview SD pictures are poor even on "high" bitrate channels though. "Dreadful" was my initial reaction when I 1st saw DVB in 1999- this hasn't changed.

  • JulieSmith2001 Julie Smith (@JulieSmith2001) reported

    Is anyone else loosing Freeview TV signal tonight in the North West? I keep getting a message saying the channel is scrambled.
