    Anyone having problems with broadband & TV from @virginmedia in London? Getting error codes CS3300, CS2004. TV picture starts flickering & either wifi drops or runs very slowly! Freeview is fine. Not getting the service we paid for!

  • TJStamp TJ Stamp (@TJStamp) reported

    @jaredspx @natehiggins Tried several… freeview, freesat, YouTube, TikTok… all are bad but iPlayer is best in class at the moment.

  • rach0907 Rachel ❤️🇺🇦🌻 Slava Ukraini (@rach0907) reported

    @TelevisionGold @TalkingPicsTV I've never seen this but don't have any of the options to watch it 😭 (only Now, Prime, Netflix - no Freeview/Sat/Virgin etc). Will it be available on your encore service?

    cool freeview signal better.. #Eurovision2022

  • Bicycle_Nuts Bicycle Nuts (@Bicycle_Nuts) reported

    @JohnBalley1 Young people don't watch broadcast TV, so it's nothing to do with you getting old. BTW I cancelled my liscence because the freeview signal is so bad. I hardly know anyone who wastes money on a TV liscence these days.

    @andyAVAVsystems yeah seemed to me that people just either upgraded to HDTVs with freeview built in or just brought cheap boxes never knew of anyone who actually used topup tv

  • TheDailySledge William (@TheDailySledge) reported

    @dilusionalworld @glenpen60 @SkyNewsAust I have never watched it, we use the the station block of so I don't have to deal with tabloid TV BS, the station was a failure on pay-per-view so had to move to Freeview to get anyone to watch the biased BS their shock-jocks waffle on about, watching it can give you brain damage

  • JAQKpanda ♦♠JAQK♥♣🐼Vtuber! (@JAQKpanda) reported

    @KatiKnitt That really sucks. We have the TV license here in the UK, but if you don't actually consume "live TV" (BBC, freeview, live sports, etc.) then you don't actually have to pay for it; in my case, all I use is YT, Twitch & stream subs. Shocking and aggravating that you're forced to!

  • andythelodge andy (@andythelodge) reported from Clifton, England

    @333peterobinson I've had nothing but problems viewing @RacingTV since they made me have @amazon Firestick due to no longer available on freeview

  • dook42_domini Dook 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇳🇿 (@dook42_domini) reported

    would be nice to be able to watch the #eurovision2022 - youtube geo blocking, iplayer says no (geo blocked again), and freeview reception terrible.
