  • 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 !

  • 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.

  • _Ninji Ninji 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇮 B L M / 1312 (@_Ninji) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @ali_king Now I feel like I should check the 365 Travel channel on Freeview again to see if they’re still advertising cruises that never happened

  • 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

  • LazyHermit 🌪 (@LazyHermit) reported from Clydebank, Scotland

    @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

  • KTCCLawson Miss Leading Herself, Katy Lawson (@KTCCLawson) reported from Renfrew, Scotland

    TikTok's latest trend is based on Adult Swim and the channel titles or whatever and... I grew up with Freeview television. I have no idea what's going on. I'm so lost. This is nearly as bad as when I tried to watch Phineas & Ferb with people and had no idea what was happening.

  • Susie61180 Susie (@Susie61180) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @virginmedia all my channels including freeview ones are giving the message 'channel not authorised' this morning, I've rebooted and still the same, any help please??

  • hurricanehorton Michael Horton (@hurricanehorton) reported

    @AndyJ147 @q_bettor I think it's a different audience. BBC aim itself at a more casual fan, Eurosport at somebody who is going to be watching all year round. I do sometimes put the BBC coverage on when it's on though, just to support snooker on Freeview telly. And for a bit of variety.

  • Gargarin BLTP (@Gargarin) reported

    The show biz news in place of actual news on Freeview channels is a nonsense, can't believe regulators really think it meets anyone's public service quota

  • retrofan1980 Mark Boreham (@retrofan1980) reported

    Considering ditching Freeview and moving to Freesat. I live in an area where we only get about 70% of channels whilst 20 miles away I'd get the full service. Also at times the Freeview signal is getting bad.

  • Bill_Hogarth William Hogarth (@Bill_Hogarth) reported

    @gbnews Why is the frame rate on your Freeview transmission so slow? I've also noticed the sound and vision are often out of sync. Are you transmitting at a reduced bitrate?

  • jeannie_pie Jeannie pie (@jeannie_pie) reported

    @FreeviewTV @FreeviewAdvice why has the freeview guides changed to show multiple regions? I select SE(Kent) region, but can also get London. London mast reception bad. New menu causes recording series duplication! Continued

  • loonylaura Laura Cox (@loonylaura) reported

    @Robynnnnnnnn @Lauzzadoll1 I'd seen her name in the listings on my Freeview box, but never her picture or anything. I like her, though.

  • jeannie_pie Jeannie pie (@jeannie_pie) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Cont pt2 - guides never had both London & local (BBC & ITV) this only started about 10 days ago when my BTYOUVIEW box had an update. BT say Freeview are responsible.

  • thesampattison sam (@thesampattison) reported

    So fed up with the bad signal on freeview again. Been going on for a while now. Can hardly watch anything. #freeview

  • Del_ivered El Del (@Del_ivered) reported

  • SRL_82 Simon Lumley™ 🇬🇧 (@SRL_82) reported
