  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

  • geovilla77 georgie green (@geovilla77) reported from Bromsgrove, England

    You don’t realise how awful freeview is until your waiting for the sky man to come to your house 🥴

  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

    @FreeviewAdvice Thank you for your response. I've been having problems with Freeview for months, so I'm not impressed with the service, and so many repeats, that we've already paid for. Regards Anne.

  • HawkeyeIan Ian (@HawkeyeIan) reported

    @bt_uk price increase, service decrease. Well Done BT! WHAT AN ABSOLUTE SHAMBLES. Nearly 2 years with this service and can't wait to leave and go to #Sky Lost all the freeview channels today! What a joke!

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @WhoPotterVian I never had an issue with ITV Hub but ITVX just crashes all the time. Took their advice eventually and uninstalled it and reloaded it and now it doesn't work at all. And it works on less devices than it did before - even on a new Freeview Play device bought just last year

  • ProudPatriot478 ProudPatriot478 (@ProudPatriot478) reported

    @Dnewton99886451 @ColinBrazierTV Unfortunately you still need a licence if you watch Freeview. I don't even have that. I don't have an aerial & just have the Netflix, Prime, Disney & YouTube apps on my tv. I have the Apple TV app atm as I get it free with my phone contact til mid April but I never even watch it.

  • gurncrop gurncrop (@gurncrop) reported

    @AboutEG Might be worth following @DowndetectorUK. You will get alerts for things you don't care about, but it was a great early warning for today's Twitter problems, and that recent Freeview outage - answers the "is it just me?" question.

  • KiwiBuschman Phillip Busch (@KiwiBuschman) reported

    @TVNZ morning. What's up with your Freeview signal for tv1, tv2 and Duke channels? No signal? But all good coming through sky?

  • stone_cabin Stone Cabin (@stone_cabin) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Freeview TV reception has been awful in Portsmouth for months. It's getting worse. Please do something about it, your service is a joke.

  • OfficialRUFC Rotherham United (@OfficialRUFC) reported

    FREEVIEW | My main aim is to help the team - Blackett Tyler Blackett sat down with iFollow Millers after penning a deal until the end of the 2022/23 campaign. #rufc | #ForeverTogetherForeverProud

  • sagheramira Amira Sagher (@sagheramira) reported

    Freeview are the service provider in other words

  • lostinfens1 lostinfens (@lostinfens1) reported

    @DanielFooksArt Twitter's a bit like flicking through Freeview channels. Most of it is crap, some of it is harmful but occasionally it's educational or even uplifting. It's also the top venue to make a **** of yourself after 1 too many shandies.
