    @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.

    @alastairjam Yeah we’ve just never moved cause Rob had them historically but won’t be staying now. Freeview is killing me.

  • rook_mike PapaBear (@rook_mike) reported

    @FreeviewTV The FREEVIEW transmitter on Guildford's Hog's Back is DOWN. No Freeview TV reception in and around Guildford. No updates on social media. UNPRECEDENTED! No idea when NORMAL service will resume. That gets me ANGRY.

    @TreeHouseBkshop I feel I'm missing out on this too, but I've always relied on Freeview. There's more TV than I can spend time watching, so I've never seen the point of paying for content I'll never get around to viewing - until now!

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @MisterVivian @cleanfeed_ttvr Saorview uses DVB-T / MPEG4, so it's the other way around. MPEG4 actually allows broadcasters to fit more channels on a multiplex. As a result, Sky News at 704x576 can be done at similar bitrates as a 544x576 service on UK Freeview. You may remember Sky once wanted to launch...

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, I've lost the Freeview signal my TV receives since last night because of the storm. If I sent you my postcode, could you check what the status will be for the transmitter to be up and running again please?

  • Hrawli H (@Hrawli) reported

    @Webbo2306 I’ve sorted it. Didn’t pay for HD as most Freeview channels are already in HD. It’s just the Sky channels that you have to pay for and I don’t really watch them much. Works out I’m paying £15 a month extra on my internet, so not bad. 👍🏻

  • BGhattaure BubblesG (@BGhattaure) reported

    @MoneySavingExp SKY’s charges are ridiculous! Who watched 999 channels? You try to cancel 1 subscription but you can’t as you’re tied into another one; so you end up purchasing the whole package - it’s a rip off!! I’m currently researching into Freeview.@skytv

  • neill_mckeown Neill McKeown (@neill_mckeown) reported

    @2020YNWAP Via freeview need to be able to get the Saorview signal etc

  • RichieUK_TTV RichieUK (@RichieUK_TTV) reported

    @NOWMusic Hey if you insist in having a music channel on Freeview can you please make sure the audio bitrate doesn’t sound garbage? The compression is painful

  • SuperSajuuk Gordon (@SuperSajuuk) reported

    @PhilPhenom Latest tweet would imply their online service is not working this evening, as they only point people to the Red Button [Sky/Freesat 981, Freeview 601] instead of the usual "Red Button and iPlayer".
