    @Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38

  • Davidp1103 David-19 (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @TalkTalk It would be nice if you could reduce or remove a £40 charge for an engineer who called but made no inspection of equipment, explained that Freeview channels had been altered; a fact that your customer services were not aware of, but should have known.

  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Snodland, England

    Continually frustrated by @TalkTalk and its inconsistent service and performance. Have today purchased a freeview recorder to replace their box and will be actively looking for new broadband provider.

  • robinjuste Robin Juste Emery (@robinjuste) reported from Gillingham, England

    Fog risk and disruption to TV and radio transmissions. Expect some lost Freeview or low signal channels on some mornings next week! #KentWeather @AffinityDJ @AffinityKent

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • pauljholden PJ Holden (@pauljholden) reported

    in the end dropped the landline (haven't used it in years) and dropped the tv package (we're watching everything either online or catchup or on freeview - which, weirdly, in HD seems to be a better quality). Knocks from 56 (+4 increase) down to £46 (and no increase)

  • Artemisapphire Tansy Kelly Robson (@Artemisapphire) reported

    @WalkingRichard Trying to get my GenX friend to watch more TV. There is LOADS on Freeview channels you cannot get streaming. Streaming catalogues are horrifically narrow And watching something on a whim when you come across it also expands your exposure to stuff you'd never select on a streamer

  • BenJohn45874515 Ben Johnson (@BenJohn45874515) reported

    @Mark56623345 Apparently you can watch test transmissions on Freeview. Not sure how though as I've never had Freeview before.

  • mathewilson Mat Wilson (@mathewilson) reported

    Holy ****, the Freeview channel Now 80s is playing Prince's "Batdance" right now.

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    (7/7) What coming up on Virgin/Freeview: Jan. 16th: ViacomCBS replaces Paramount Network HD with 5Action HD today on Virgin Channel 150. Jan. 16th: ViacomCBS replaces Paramount Network with 5Action today on Virgin Channel 187 and Freeview Channel 32.

  • JamieNemeth Jamie Nemeth (he/him/they/them) (@JamieNemeth) reported

    Next week on my Twitch stream: Freeview watchalong! Can't see any potential issues with rebroadcasting content from the BBC, ITV, Channels 4 and 5, UKTV, Quest, etc. I mean, they're literally giving it away for free on Freeview! That's how copyright and fair use works, right?

  • leviijeanss brand😤 (@leviijeanss) reported

    @egusiwarrior the amount of nostalgia i’m getting right now, that was my **** freeview tv ones

  • Nick_Payne Nick Payne (@Nick_Payne) reported

    Anybody else in the midlands just lost Freeview? @FreeviewTV is there a transmitter down?

  • top1percentile Nigel Bennett (@top1percentile) reported
