    @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

    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

  • JonnieIlly J spennz (@JonnieIlly) reported

    @GBNEWS I have found your signal on Freeview but not Freesat. I understand it should be 216. Is this correct and if it is, when will the signal broadcast to find. Cheers.

  • FeelitWorking aka James Bond (@FeelitWorking) reported

    @virginmedia You have just reminded me to call and cancel, no point paying for something I can watch on freesat and freeview. I don't need a house phone either! I'm wasting a lot of money when there is no loyalty discount, only reduced Bills for new customers. @MoneySavingExp

  • IMTobybrown Toby Brown (@IMTobybrown) reported

    @lbc the bbc Is a good thing if it needs a new funding model it should be general taxation like every other public service. Subscription won't work because of freeview and also the radio networks can't go on subscription either

  • CheritonWeather CheritonWeather CT19 (@CheritonWeather) reported

    @LBC @darrenadam I hope not.....It's sad that so many people are happy to pay for subscription services, but not a license fee for what is essentially a good service via Freeview and Freesat. I refuse to line the pockets of companies like Sky, Netflix, Amazon etc

  • Gareth23701455 Gareth (@Gareth23701455) reported

    @ChrissieLefranc @kaled10 @GBNEWS I believe the test signal is only being broadcast on freeview at the moment because the signal needs physically tuned in on many boxes like old tellys were. On Sky the test signal is less necessary as no tuning by the user is necessary, just keep checking 515 until it appears.

    Great time for my TV to lose the freeview signal 🙃 #Eurovision2021
