  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @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…

  • 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.

  • TomPoole007 Tom Poole (@TomPoole007) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.

  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

    @itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

    @9edroPires @pqp_f1 If you watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat), you need to be covered by a TV Licence. 1/2

  • birthofthetrue Maria S / @birthofthetrue@kolektiva.social (@birthofthetrue) reported

    @CymraegDoctor @S4C It wd be good if could choose subtitles in Welsh on S4C on iplayer, wd help lots to be able to read along, but doesn't seem to be an option as viewer in England? (Used to pick up s4c on old terrestrial telly, but not now on digital/freeview)

  • Dee2737 Dee37 (@Dee2737) reported

    @tp4298 @Perky_43 I'd like to see Slow Horses, I love Gary Oldman, but I don't have any streaming services, just Freeview 😕

  • baileys36 Jenny Lewis (@baileys36) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I've already done this and you said to contact Restore tv so I think it's just freeview that is rubbish as I'm always having problems even though i have a filter fitted

  • Mide Midé (@Mide) reported

    Hold on...is it me or have they made Non-HD channels terrible on purpose? Is it supposed to upsell everybody to get smart TVs and Freeview?

  • Dianne1963 Mrs B 🧡🖤 (@Dianne1963) reported

    @TPTVEncore @TalkingPicsTV My Freeview CH82 Red Button doesn't work 🙄 but the TV isn't that old and is updated regularly, any clues as to what systems it should work on, please?

  • uncriticalsimon Simon 🤖 (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, Wales

    Why is the BBC World Service so hard to obtain EXCEPT in the one area which is explicitly not the target audience? In the UK the World Service is available 24/7 on DAB and I think Freeview and Freesat/Sky.

  • Chris_Hill_Bsc Chris Hill BSc (@Chris_Hill_Bsc) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I live in LE11 1SL Loughborough, Freeview channels including all HD channels worked perfectly last night, and today nothing, no signal, won’t even pick up hd channels or half the normal channels?? What’s going on???
