    @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!

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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…

    @Nicky_Harrison_ @GBNEWS I know. Wonder if no support for my phone (s6). A real shame as every other news outlet app seems to work. Really wanted to watch GBNews online, especially as I refuse to pay BBC licence fee and thus have no Freeview/Sky/etc TV service.

    Today I've been working to Greatest Hits Radio and Smooth Radio. Mainly as I had to get stations on Freeview due to wangy internet, but I've never felt more middle aged.

    @DigitalJonathan @TobyWoody ***** sake, are you still blathering on? What's a PhD got to do with the issues you or your esteemed wife were having? For some people adjusting settings DID work. If your issues were related to Freeview then probably theirs weren't.

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    @StarchyMarchy @LeeMcilwaine @BBCTwo No, poor freeview signal Tim. Same on every setting.

  • MusicSparrow Tracy (@MusicSparrow) reported

    @BBCSport Why are there not more channels available on the BBC to watch the Olympics? Freeview channel 601 isn't even available in HD. It's very poor already.

  • quidditys_shore Stuart Galloway (@quidditys_shore) reported

    @BBCSport It's not just dab. Constantly cutting out on BBC sounds, google speaker & freeview. Maybe something to do with major Internet outages yesterday (itvhub & playstation I noticed) as playstation is down again for me
