  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

    Anyone having issues with the Voice-over on #bakeoff watch it via freeview rather than Sky and its much better #GBBO ☺

  • PhlipGodfrey Philip Godfrey (@PhlipGodfrey) reported

    @johnzharper00 @E4Tweets I would have thought that as well but it's something to do with the way Freeview is routed around the Freeview network, we don't have E4 where I live so losing E4+1 is really disappointing.

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @JoshxReid @PATVOne1 @4Music They did move out of the music section on Sky a few years back to allow them to do this. Not an issue on Freeview with everything thrown in together. It is poor branding though - same with CBS Drama showing hours of Judge Judy.

  • mal1eto Stuart Ross (@mal1eto) reported

    @TelegraphRugby @GavinMairs Wtf. No Freeview coverage. Channel 5, channel 4, l ITV, it's all going ppv wrong wrong wrong!

  • dancardwell Dan Cardwell (@dancardwell) reported

    @virginmedia @annmarienoble23 @annmarie Virgin Media, the problem is that subtitles work on adverts but not on the programmes. Been like this all week. Problem is at channel 5's end as it occurs on Freeview too!

  • willmgreenhalgh William Greenhalgh (@willmgreenhalgh) reported

    @CassLennox Funny thing is only channel 4 works on all 4 right now the other live channels are dead also ita due to complicated reasons woth how thr signal is transmitted to freeview cable and satellite its all messed up still

  • differ_dare Dare Differ (@differ_dare) reported

    @Limping_Chicken Too many Freeview channels without any or nominal amount of subtitles after all these years. Horror does none, yet most horror is dark for scare effect, folk whisper... Worse kind of set up to try and make out what happening. Access to service - subtitles should be mandatory now.

  • Shelle02 Michelle Hedley 💙 (@Shelle02) reported

    @LeeYates82 @virginmedia It is the same issue on the sky and freeview /freesat platforms. No subtitles on any of the 12 channel 4 channels and issues with BBC and Channel 5.

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