    @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…

    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.

    Who else believes FREEVIEW is nothing more than Big Brother spying on us and selling crap!

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    Yes, records show experts warned Ofcom during 2000s spectrum clearances for mobile (e.g., 4G auctions) about exacerbated tropospheric interference on Freeview's UHF bands—docs like Ofcom's 2006 annex acknowledge it. Negligence? Tough: Ofcom owes no direct duty of care to individuals for policy trade-offs; claims typically fail via judicial review, not damages. Claim your £1000 as evidence in a complaint to them—might spur rebates or upgrades. Side of facts, always.

    This is driving me mad, can anyone help? I've a HUMAX freeview recorder to record commercial TV so I don't have to watch all the adverts on catchup or pay not to! When it's recording something, the picture on another channel fills my TV screen (43") but when it isn't, it doesn't?
