    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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 !

  • _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

  • 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??

  • Ryans_Rovers RR (@Ryans_Rovers) reported

    @9prmills9 The Android Freeview box I'm streaming it to my TV on slows it down also. Streaming on the PC is behind still but not this much. I miss the satellite Sky box but this is cheaper.

  • chris_sucksmith Chris (@chris_sucksmith) reported from East Cowes, England

    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @theJeremyVine @thetrainline @AvantiWestCoast No because from August 10th 2021 until January 5th 2022 we had no Freeview signal thanks the Bilsdale transmitter fire so no TV whatsoever for us. Temporary service restored out of 220+ channels we've got 30 channels. So missed every single one of those and we had 1/2

  • Originsingamer zinorigins (@Originsingamer) reported

    @Potatoe_Waffles @Machobeard4life It's on itv 4 not itv 1, still need to buy a freview box or have a TV with freeview built in, then you have to factor in that not everyone's signal would be perfect on freeview, so they will more likely use fite TV or subscribe to itv hub or britbox, it's not free TV at all

  • DazzaField Darren (@DazzaField) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi, thank you for your reply. We actually had to cancel our sky TV Subscription because it became too unaffordable, we were using the box for freeview. Would we still be able to get a technician down without an active subscription?

  • JulieSmith2001 Julie Smith (@JulieSmith2001) reported

    @MixedRaceSpur @Forces_TV I’ve got a Freeview box which I can record on I can get it through that but the signal is breaking up with the weather, always happens. I tried to get it through the normal TV aerial but the channel wasn’t available & it should be. Retuned the TV now I’ve lost more channels!

  • h5ringer TheMaestroCat (@h5ringer) reported

    Series recording on @HumaxUK Freeview box (NOT Freesat) FVP-4000T not been working for a couple of weeks. Records single programs and first of a series ok, but does not recognise subsequent episodes. Problem not limited to any particular channel(s). What’s happening?

  • SteveHyett Steve Hyett (@SteveHyett) reported

    I see @SkyUK have put their prices up yet again...I'm only on basic package but I'd be paying nearly £40 a month to watch shows with adverts. £40! Nah, going to cancel and hook up a Freeview box.

  • Jackphe05306203 Jack phelps (@Jackphe05306203) reported

    @SkyUK Sky have gone right down hill heard that the bt box office can’t be accessed on the sky glass also what happens if internet suddenly drops out there’s only freeview access also live games are a few seconds behind on the streaming on the tv waste of money end off enough said

  • intouchwithox David Oxendale M7OXY (@intouchwithox) reported

    @transdiffusion I was there. With the red square of signal death. What a great team we had at Ondigital. It's a pity it was doomed to fail from the outset - but every time I use Freeview, I'm glad we did what we did to make DVB happen.
