    @virginmedia is there a way to negotiate a new contract without being on the phone for 2 hours+? Raising my bill from £45 to £66 automatically when the contract ends is absolutely disgusting for what I receive. Internet that goes down and paying for the same channels as freeview?

  • katy_whitton Katy (@katy_whitton) reported

    And talk about being late to the party in December 2021 it was announced that Channel 5 had joined the organisation responsible for Freeview and Freesat, Digital UK, becoming the last of the UK's major Public Service Broadcasters to join the body 15/

    @BootstrapCook I did this for my mum after she had a falling out with all the cable/phone companies. Had to get a booster areal but got all the freeview channels and just went weird and pixelated in very bad weather!

    @its_milaB @Suzyiam I can recommend this. Got rid of vodafone tv and replaced it with Smart VU. Connects via wifi to your network, simple to set up and simple to use. Retails for less than $120. Has all the streaming apps and a great freeview app.

    @LeapfrogMark @TalkTV @iancollinsuk Most of the BBC is not suitable for a subs service, for example, no UK news programme is subscription only (even sky is on freeview) and technically it is not possible for radio stations. An advertising and sponsorship is more realistic but other media outlets will not like it

    @ExmoorOn Never thought to ask to be honest. Luckily I can get Radio Northampton on Freeview so at least I can listen in.

  • viridispicus _insert witticism here_ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@viridispicus) reported

    @BootstrapCook It depends on signal strength, direction to transmitter, and what's in the way. Digital signals (such as Freeview) are broadly binary: the TV understands enough, you have a picture - or nothing. Amplifiers exist, but they amplify noise as much as signal, so beware promises.

    @Daily_Express Saw that yesterday for the first time as it's suddenly appeared on my Freeview. Good grief it's awful!

  • Vash198973 Vash (@Vash198973) reported

    Double standards in this house, she's sat with candles lit, drinking gin, watching basically porn dressed up as a love story on Netflix, never said a word. I got caught watching the television X Freeview years back and she called me a fat ***** #365daysThisDay

  • SimonWood2k5 Simon Wood (@SimonWood2k5) reported

    @PhilJonesy3 @MetroUK It's SD on Freeview which doesn't help but not at all good even for SD.
