  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

    @Fibutton @ITV First thing I noticed Fi..............forced AGAIN to watch the crap which is GMB as Freeview signal gone on the blink and cannot access Sky News, roll on GB News

  • sminkypinky76 SminkyPinky 🇪🇺 (@sminkypinky76) reported

    I’ve sent a third email to the building management about our lack of freeview signal. I have left out the part about where I am unable to watch Talking Pictures and CBS Drama and it’s pissing me off now.

  • LJconservation Linda Kemp (@LJconservation) reported

    @SamanthaMalin We've been having problems over here too with signal dropout and pixelation. We aren't on Sky though, just Freeview. We weren't sure if our Humax box was on the blink as it's quite ancient now. Perhaps it's the 5G in the vaccines affecting the signal Lol!!!

    @ryleydavison I had a sky box but no subscription, was just fancy freeview. Used to go down and still the card when my parents fell asleep

  • cash4questions2 Mingymoo (@cash4questions2) reported

    @ukJ0N @snicklin1 @GBNEWS I read late June a while ago. The test signal is up....Channel 236 on Freeview.

  • _designblogger designblogger (@_designblogger) reported

    @virginmedia The works are conducted, but they never resolve issues. We still use FreeView, 5 days after the storm. The wifi speed is low, and pages keep crushing on laptop and phones.

  • Nixed81 Nicholas O (@Nixed81) reported

    TV reception seems to of fixed itself. Had a couple of weeks of poor freeview reception recently.

    @YarnallKate @itvanglia @GMB Hello, I’ve looked into this. If you are watching on the ‘ plus one’ service you’ll get Meridian, of if you are watching on HD Freeview, also defaults to Meridian. Hope this helps 🤞

  • squat_betty Richard Sandling (@squat_betty) reported

    You think social media is bad for doom scrolling, try watching any Freeview TV ad break. Jesus Christ...

  • EmilyKitv Emily Knight (@EmilyKitv) reported

    @YarnallKate Ok, You are watching us on Sky SD, we are still on channel 103 but only in HD, to receive us on Sky channel 103 you’ll need to upgrade to an HD service by contacting Sky. If you don’t want to upgrade we are on Freeview HD and Freesat HD - free no subscription service.
