    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • HDRDean Dean from Oz (@HDRDean) reported

    @HisenseAus I have tried calling your Customer service...no answer, tried the callback, no calls. I have a simple question, why is Freeview no longer working on my 49P4? It was working when we bought it, then it disappeared, came back a few months later and now gone again.

    @Stuart_NashMP Speaking to an installer, he can confirm multiple people with the issue, some have spent good money themselves trying to fix. but its from the transmitter not their TVs. Freeview refuse to answer email enquiries. I ahve sent 3 requests with no response over a period of a week.

    Hmm, loads of my freeview channels are nothing but fuzzy static but the HD versions are fine. Anyone else got that problem?

    @WASoutlooks @JeanneBartram @virginmedia They either think we're idiots or they are. They told me not to cancel the DD until they've spoken to me, then have gone quiet since 12 noon yesterday. Sod that. I've cancelled it and bought a cheaper broadband and a Freeview recorder.

    So any atmospheric pressure over 1,005 mBar just lays to waste nearly half of my Freeview channels. Goes from 147 to 96. All BBC, ITV and Channel 4 gone. Pulling the aerial out and returning trick, does not help With the rain last night, did get 107 now back to 96.

    @dontdoit61 Try an OS update. If you're streaming try 2.4 rather than 5ghz WiFi stream. Also if it's Freeview try attenuating the Ariel signal...

    @bread1970 @aewboro123 @Fightful Tbh ain't a bad deal ayozat is available on sky or through their app or website for anyone in the UK for free so availability is about as good as you get without being on freeview and as mentioned if they do well then a Freeview channel could pick them up at a later date.

    When you’ve had the full Virgin Media package but now have to make do with freeview in the short term, nightmare! First world problems

  • ratters64 Ratters (@ratters64) reported

    @tonyplay1066 @ladbible Believe it or not, I pay for Sky Movies, Amazon Prime, Netflix And Disney+ and almost everything I watch is on terrestrial, I should cancel and just get Freeview🤪

  • picstoview HotPics.... (@picstoview) reported

    @BrawBandHome @CityFibre Come on how much longer for fixing the Glasgow / Renfrewshire outage. Can’t get online at all other than my limited mobile data. No freeview so need Internet to work from home or watch TV 😡🤬
