    @BoostTorbay @AndrewBrazier1 Never used the first two options. Very much old school. None of the fancy pants Sky or Virgin Media either. Just plain old Freeview for me

    @TPTVEncore @TalkingPicsTV My Freeview CH82 Red Button doesn't work 🙄 but the TV isn't that old and is updated regularly, any clues as to what systems it should work on, please?

  • stevegreene20 flashlarry (@stevegreene20) reported

    @KaylaChowShow Never used a dish, why would I with all the Freeview channels

  • elear48 LesleyR. 🌎🌸🇪🇺 (@elear48) reported

    @christop_hall @virginmedia Yes. Had Virgin cable TV for a number of years and enjoyed it but costs kept rising. When I reduced services the cost went up! So decided to cancel and just do Freeview. Then the real "leaving problems" began. Nightmare. Never regretted going though and Freeview is fine.

    Has anyone else noticed how many times you have too retune FreeView? I’ve seen any difference in programs of which they conveniently make a statement off say You may not see any difference. So my question is what are they either uploading or down loading???

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @Dianne1963 @TPTVEncore Hi Dianne, the red button works on TVs that are connected to the internet. If yours is connected to the internet and it still isn't working, please give the Freeview helpline a ring at 03456 505050 and they should be able to advise you further. Thanks for the all the support!

    Ok, who shot down the Freeview balloon 🎈 🔫

  • Mide Midé (@Mide) reported

    Hold on...is it me or have they made Non-HD channels terrible on purpose? Is it supposed to upsell everybody to get smart TVs and Freeview?

  • uncriticalsimon Simon 🤖 (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, Wales

    Why is the BBC World Service so hard to obtain EXCEPT in the one area which is explicitly not the target audience? In the UK the World Service is available 24/7 on DAB and I think Freeview and Freesat/Sky.

    Shocking freeview signal this week again. I'm presuming it's the high pressure.
