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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • englishbobsnr NM (@englishbobsnr) reported from Maidstone, England

  • 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.

  • 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

    @forzalube_81 Hi Giacomo, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • FramptonRoz Roz Frampton (@FramptonRoz) reported

    @NadineDorries @BBC @FreeviewTV Nadine, please sort out Freeview. People can't access TV or have total blackout so often! This last fortnight or so, it hadn't worked most of the time. Most people don't report outages because they don't know where to do so &/or can't. Get sorted!

  • manusj Manny (@manusj) reported

    @mrcookie_jay @looksunfamiliar I saw a few recently on some obscure freeview channel. The Kremmen segments are Cosgrove hall? I think. But bad. Terribly bad!!!

  • tractor_girl99 🚜💙Anna💙🚜 #OFBF (@tractor_girl99) reported

    @itsnickelflysk3 @virginmedia Only problems we seem to have with Virgin is when lightning hits the signal box outside a causes a big outage Thankfully we still have Freeview otherwise will be doomed

  • scoutnick Grumpy but Informed (@scoutnick) reported

    @MartinSLewis Freeview only, so not even an issue.

  • eugene_doherty Eugene Doherty (@eugene_doherty) reported

    @haroldthimbleby Some years back when we had broadband I thought I'd have a look at freeview via aerial to save money but couldn't get a signal. Then when weeding one day I found a coiled up coax cable where next door had been working on their gutters, cut the cable and just decided to hide it.

  • nickybshaw Nicole B Shaw (@nickybshaw) reported

    @MartinSLewis Yes but I also opt in for major sport in month units. Saved £100s dropping Sky full service. & dropping to single user Netflix. I choose FreeView mostly.

  • Williamson_Irl Craig Williamson (@Williamson_Irl) reported from Neillstown, Leinster

    @lordbambitoyou It's not on the Saorview platform. Is it not more a case of picking it up due to being close to NIR and getting a spillover of the UK Freeview signal?

  • alison_pannell Ali-Pan (@alison_pannell) reported

    @missellieaquas @GaryLineker Advice needed - I am using mainly freeview programs via aerial and finding less and less I want to watch, but I do like GBNews - I want more than just films and boxsets but would like to cancel my Licence. I do have WiFi/smart TV available - what would anyone suggest

  • Mathe_Musician MatheMusician (@Mathe_Musician) reported

    @SorrelMayWood We take up the offer of 30 days free from time to time. Nice while it lasts, but as we usually joke that the Amazon order will arrive at least 3 days before it says it will, it never seems worth paying. (We wouldn't use the other features - way too much to watch on freeview.)
