  • verflucht Mr A$AP Verflucht Esq. (@verflucht) reported from Paisley, Scotland

    @SuperRetroid @jonesthescribe @MrTom Fair point. :) And in fairness, I have never had to use an internal Freeview in a telly in over 14 years. I always thought they'd use the aerial, not the leftover debris from Sky.

    @virginmedia Been a Virgin customer for years. Cancelled Tv but have broadband and phone. Even my Freeview channels have been blocked on my boxes!! How churlish can a company get??😳 Freeview channels?! Show some compassion to your customers

  • TravellingScot4 TravellingScotsman (@TravellingScot4) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @nowtvhelp It’s ok they’ll tell to do the exact same things I’ve done already. It’s working now but for how long. And your live chat very rarely works. Or there’s a long wait to speak to someone. When the passes are finished I’ll just cancel and stick to freeview amazon prime and Netflix

  • fitzscrounger Benny Fitzscrounger (@fitzscrounger) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @MrMalky Get tae **** !! Freeview is a wash with their content and the reason why people stump.up for NetFlix. I give it a year not personally I can't tell you the last thing I watched on ITV and BBC can **** right off !

    @virginmedia Just the freeview channels, spoken to someone and they have stated your colleagues that sold us the package have taken all of our channels, therefore have mis-sold a service, waiting to speak to a manager, however I will be contact trading standards as a product has mis-sold

  • djuwannamann Ben Dover (@djuwannamann) reported

    @sophieelsworth @australian @aus_media No one under 35 watches Freeview TV It's garbage and cringy program after program. Over saturated with ridiculously edited and scripted "reality tv" and the news has become biasedly partisan, misinforming, innacurrate and disingenuous. Freeview basically strangled itself

  • LMilk007 LennyMilk007 (@LMilk007) reported

    @daisypops63 Diabolical....it caused me to run to booze shop and back .... however it looks still awful on council TV ( freeview) for the hours ahead although some #LouisTheroux appears in my channel hop antics

  • radiolala1 radiolala (@radiolala1) reported

    @Forces_TV @archivetvmus71 I gather that Forces TV is shutting down on Freeview at the end of June?

  • SkyNews Sky News (@SkyNews) reported

    Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell and Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis join #KayBurley at 8:30am to discuss the service of thanksgiving for the #PlatinumJubilee celebrations. 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

  • oneiljam Me (@oneiljam) reported

    Feels great to cancel my Virgin subscription. Was going to be £98. I now have all the programmes watched on freeview.

    @Christine0762 Hi there you should find this issue is resolved On Freeview

  • Polly_Phluid Polly Phluid (@Polly_Phluid) reported

    @RowdyRe80996794 @colinbrazierGBN Yeah - but only truly stupid UK people think it's just telly. BBC is state owned, so it's funded by a fee or a tax They have 6 channels of TV, countless radio stations inc Radio 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 - plus they run the the Freeview network that digital TV for aerials

  • mikeapollo Mikeapollo (@mikeapollo) reported

    We have the BBC nations feed (high symbol rate) on here. It's obvious they've got their best (4k) cameras out today. Trouble is, it's gonna make every other programme tonight look like it was filmed on a 1970s 405 line plumbicon camera... Freeview will be like legovision.

    @Ihatethisdumbf1 @RowdyRe80996794 @colinbrazierGBN BBC 1, 2, 3 Parliament, News, they still have both the ones you mentioned - they dropping because they are underfunded They built the freeview network - no business would have done that as it a public service
