    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!!

    Why do I keep paying for TV service which is shit @BTGroup I get better service on indoor freeview aerial

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • 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.

  • 2013jamiepep James Pepperd (@2013jamiepep) reported from St Helens, England

    I don't have an ariel or freeview I rely on your piece of shit @virginmedia #VirginMedia

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

  • johnworthy27 john worthington (@johnworthy27) reported from Preston, England

    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

  • karlmcintyre Karl McIntyre (@karlmcintyre) reported from St Helens, England

    @drewhill79 @VodafoneUK @MattJConnor @StHKHIS Same here. BT got the 150 mb and it flies. Good support and I stream everything!! Don’t even have normal freeview.

  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

  • RobertsonG Graeme (@RobertsonG) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Their helpline guy said that the issue might be with Freeview and that the mast was secure. I can get Free view from Eston Nab. Please between you get it sorted.

  • WanderingSadu Harry Mincherley (@WanderingSadu) reported

    Not had Freeview for years due to aerial issues. Daily tsunami of garbage on there.

  • SimonLivesey Simon Livesey (@SimonLivesey) reported

    @GBNEWS Well I'm hoping production quality head increased since I last tried it. But the SD picture quality is unwatchably poor, do until it comes to HD on Freeview I can't watch.

  • KevMonynys Caoimhín Thomas 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 (@KevMonynys) reported

    @b8eak My God, look at the changes you’ve seen with tv. From just one channel (which closed down for hours on end) to today’s hundreds of channels on cable, Freeview, satellite etc!

  • Ajkiwi AJ Johnson (@Ajkiwi) reported

    Wait. I've been talking to workmates, & it turns out that people who don't have vodafoneTV (RIP) or old mysky: (a) watch freeview LIVE with ADVERTS (wtf) (b) or ONLY watch things on streaming (c) and just accept they can't record+rewind TV (d) use an aerial or sat dish. REALLY?

  • SoyElGuiri El Guiri (@SoyElGuiri) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV @tptvpodcast Hi, I’m wondering if you are showing ‘Tim Driscoll’s Donkey’ again any time soon? I started watching it yesterday but got dragged away to help with a plumbing job … and 3.5 hrs later the Freeview box had given up!! 🙄 Thanks!!!!! 🐴🇮🇪

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    Jeez 1330 and it's already getting dark!! Cold and windy feels like more snow on it's way. NO WAY OF GETTING WEATHER ALERTS OR FORECAST DUE TO LACK OF TV SIGNAL DUE TO ONGOING FREEVIEW TRANSMITTER FIRE

  • haydenraw Hayden Raw (@haydenraw) reported

    Would be cool if @vodafoneNZ did a software update on the VodafoneTV units just prior to them being shut down that turned them into an untethered Freeview/internet TV hub.

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @FreeviewTV No, I don't mean *onto* those platforms. I mean a Freeview-produced streaming stick to *be* a platform in addition to the service integrated into some TVs. The problem with those platforms is they don't carry all services. A neutral platform could solve that.

    @FreeviewAdvice postcode YO30 6ED not receiving freeview signal. Has bilsdale transmitter failed sgain???
