    @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

    @FreeviewTV @Dodgyclare I live near Wisbech in Cambridgeshire and we have been having trouble with Freeview lately with No signal being shown and jigsaw on the screens.

  • DigitalDiablo 🇪🇺 🐸 HYPNOTOAD 🐸🇪🇺 💎 (@DigitalDiablo) reported

    @katzenzungen Moved to "BT" full fibre a few months ago and its half the price and double the speed of Virgin Media. We don't take the TV service (can't even keep up with Freeview/Netflix) but more than happy with it.

  • ImmuneNaturally John Kelley (@ImmuneNaturally) reported

    @LozzaFox @TalkTV For us TalkTV on freeview has become unwatchable the signal strength appears to much weaker this last week just enough for it be there but blocky with constant audio interruption as such unwatchable. They did the same thing to RT before banning it outright. All other channels ok.

    @russty_russ when it came to an end, there were 5 mainstream channels, there was no freeview, no netflix, no streaming at all, to split the audience share- and sky was still crap. it was crap, and far outlived its natural life good riddance, pity it didn't end Noel Edmonds' career as well.

    Any news on when BBC4/CBeebies HD will return to Freeview? Seems odd to have such a problem at last minute given the space for another HD channel has theoretically been on the mux for over a year and Arqiva are forever squeezing in extra channels to their SD muxes.

  • CatIpswich Toby the Cat (Ipswich) (@CatIpswich) reported

    @ModernCassie Never knew it existed. Who will screen it on Freeview?

  • ChrisTheDJ Chris Merriman 🇺🇦 (@ChrisTheDJ) reported

    Actually that's not strictly true. Freeview will be offering internet streams of channels as back up in the future, but no sign of when, so that doesn't help you today.

    @aryomjapes @Beccabell05 @katemassey77 The beloved just records them & deletes the adverts if we might want to watch it again, or just fast forwards thro' them if not. We *never* see adverts because we never watch anything live. (Also only watch freeview 'cos there's more than enough to watch on there.)
