  • 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.

    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

  • LexFuturus LexFuturus (@LexFuturus) reported from Longfield, England

    Terrible streaming quality via YouTube! @btsport should have made it freeview #UCLfinal

  • 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

  • chrisk_nature ChrisK.Nature (@chrisk_nature) reported

    @Artemisfornow They should make 'over-air' broadcast (Freeview etc) free and Charge for iPlayer access which is already behind a paywall of sorts because it asks for your TV License number already Over air programmes have poor Image Quality as it is; why pay for SD quality?

  • formerhero_ former hero ~ (@formerhero_) reported

    i never had sky TV or any of the channels i could listen to rock music thru other than once a week thru a really shady freeview channel and a huge part of my music taste came thru that, and blink were on that

  • bitfernsteve Steve Wood (@bitfernsteve) reported

    @genetis Here’s my random selection: Cheese grater (satisfying, until … grated finger nail and gristle). Open fire (evolutionarily enjoyable, but … ow, burning!). Freeview TV Guide (more a UX thing, but … it will never load when I’m in a hurry).

  • HelenParkins Helen Parkins (@HelenParkins) reported

    @Robin_Askwith Enjoy your break from filming, Robin. I was having a bad day until I saw that "Confessions From A Holiday Camp " is on tv here in the UK this evening- 23.20 hrs on Talking Pictures, Freeview 82.

  • snailmancer 🜏 (@snailmancer) reported

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @BagladyM Hi, Maureen. Sorry to hear that you're having problems receiving Freeview. Can you DM us your postcode along with the house number or name so we can check coverage in your area and advise from there?

  • EE EE (@EE) reported

    @liampdwyer Thanks for getting back to us, Liam. This service can be accessed on freeview on channel 236, or if you're watching on the app. If it's hardly working, it'll be best to reset your TV box, and possibly your broadband.

  • millar00 perseverance (@millar00) reported

    .@AJEnglish is the only channel on my sky box that says No Satellite Signal is being received consistently. Al Jazeera has also been removed from FreeView. It’s like someone doesn’t want you getting any news except from those that have supported Israel during its genocide.

  • MapleFiltered Gruffalo Trace (@MapleFiltered) reported

    Can someone tell me how the hell a system as poor as @Freely_tv has been brought to market. Simply appalling designed, slow, clunky, user unfriendly and a MASSIVE downgrade on Freeview Play or You view. Deliberately avoiding selling TVs with your system now. Absolute nonsense

  • Popeye87009747 Popeye (@Popeye87009747) reported

    @TLWUK1Official @MediaBoyUK SKY never had ITVBe+1. ITV Quiz+1 will launch on Freeview more likely in August 2025
