    @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 Gravesend, England

    @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 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.

  • IronMask75 IronMask75 (@IronMask75) reported

    @FreeviewAU @FinancialReview There's an issue with this service that, if you change the channel and there is no program information, the banner remains on screen forever. Only way to remove is to hit green button to open Freeview guide, then hit back, then exit. Sony Bravia X95G.

  • gildy61 Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    @brianwinteruk @GoffyMedia @BBCTees It is on mine. Well...not Freeview at present in my area because the local transmitter burned down.

  • stegb1987 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Stephen 🏳️‍🌈 (@stegb1987) reported

    @ibrocksom @virginmedia It was down on all platforms including Freeview so not a Virgin Media problem for a change

  • SteveTheManCla1 unrepentant Englishman (@SteveTheManCla1) reported

    @sturgess_steve Old man's fingers you know! If your a fan of Mr k Everett he's back on the tele! Be gad on a channel called that's tv gold most of it crap though! 91 on freeview 187 sky! He was quite mad you know!

  • FlappyBerk Christian (@FlappyBerk) reported

    @RealBlackIrish @uncanted The current ITV issue is likely a consequence of digital terrestrial infrastructure being held together with bubblegum and hope, since it's only effecting Freeview. I don't think there's a huge conspiracy to normalise the loss of Tipping Point repeats for an afternoon.

  • runnerbrite Max Richens 💙 (@runnerbrite) reported

    @charlesarthur @BBCMoreOrLess Only Freeview. Freesat ones are a bit more expensive as generally on larger Sony boxes if I stayed Sony.. Though I also have a Panasonic freesat TV which works ok. But an issue is that the current one works so I am reluctant to add it to the heap of discarded electronics.

  • HayleyJaneLyon2 Hayley Jane Lyon (@HayleyJaneLyon2) reported

    @ITV Are you having issues with your ITV freeview channels this afternoon? All are currently pixelated. Other channels are ok. Please advise? Thanks

  • stegb1987 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Stephen 🏳️‍🌈 (@stegb1987) reported

    @JanSmit91387857 @Astrid43254552 Yeah down on Virgin and Freeview sure same with Sky hopefully not another Red Bee Problem again if the feed goes there

  • EileenIvy Eileen Satchell (@EileenIvy) reported

    @presentinglee I’m sorry to trouble you, but how can I get Freeview tv on my TSV I received today. I can only seem to get Pluto TV not the true Freeview. Obviously I have BBC, ITV, More 4 and My5, but I was hoping to get the standard Freeview channels x

  • steeleyp_ PS (@steeleyp_) reported

    @LucyTurner_x @skytv Yes, £10 per month no matter how many pucks you have. The £50 per box charge is steep though. If broadband goes down, you can’t access any content as it doesn’t have a hard drive so you won’t even have recordings to watch. Only way around that is to have an aerial for Freeview
