    Horror channel no longer on Freeview and replaced by Legend channel.. I knew this was going to happen after RT News got the boot. I just can imagine the christofascists taking over the media saying it was demonic and **** … reality has become the horror channel

    @virginmedia cannot watch any great sport because TV signal is down AGAIN, watching freeview now not the same but no doubt you will take full fee next month!

    Some Freeview viewers in the HG4 area have reported their channels freezing. Rescanning your TV with your aerial unplugged, then doing so again with the aerial plugged back in may help. For assistance call 0800 121 4828.

    @TalkTalk Hi could you tell me if freeview is down in the BB7 area thanks

  • murrayhead84 John Murray (@murrayhead84) reported

    @conorleeson @VodafoneIreland They cut RT a few months back, and understandably Cut Disney for cost reasons. Generally a good service but it is diminishing gradually while other services are offering more to subscibers. No music offerings and Children's TV they offer all avail on Freeview or FreeSat already

    The Sodium Channel is the worst thing on FreeView #MedDadJoke @amit_pawa

    Does anyone know if you remove a Virgin Media TV package but keep the broadband whether the TiVo box continues to receive a signal for freeview use? Thanks!
