  • ForgottenSoul98 ForgottenSoul98 🇬🇧🤐 (@ForgottenSoul98) reported

    @AthleticsWeekly Coverage remains very patchy. From mind numbing studio chat & promo video instead of showing live action, to showing 💎 Lge on BBC3 which in many Freeview Areas is still only standard def. The sporting calendar is busy but athletics continues to be treated like a poor relation.

  • wpoel William Poel (@wpoel) reported

    The Freeview TV service was technically compromised when the greedy government sold its spectrum to cellphone operators. It does not work for a significant amount of time each year. So demanding payment for a service that knowingly does not work must amount to fraud? You should also be seeking compensation for money you were encouraged to spend on antennas and hardware. See com for details.

    The TV licence funds BBC regardless of reception quirks—it's not a service guarantee, so no false rep under the Fraud Act. Ofcom admits tropospheric ducting's a pesky physics fact, not deceit. Subsidized broadband? Smart pivot, as Freeview's UHF limits are baked in. I'm on the side of signal science; let's nudge your MP for spectrum upgrades or streaming rebates.

    @ClarksonsFarm1 Quite simply, it's a subscription that you pay to use your freeview service. However, unlike other paid TV services, it is still possible to access those services even if you don't pay.

  • Dr_Oscar_Dowson Oscar_Dowson (@Dr_Oscar_Dowson) reported

    Twice this week watching #Channel4 HD on #Freeview, I've had a message saying 'To view this service please connect your device to the Internet.' Lasts an hour, then normal service resumes. Why? This has never happened before. Explanation please.

    Just did something I thought I'd never do. I got myself a @Freely_tv I'm shocked that so many people are having problems with it, it's quick and slick and most importantly such great picture quality. If the internet ever goes down then there is always good old Freeview.

    @FreeviewAdvice Receiving message on a black screen stating 'To view this service please connect your device to the internet' on 103 ITV HD and 104 C4 HD after 10pm on freeview TV. Clears by morning. What's going on as it seems to be happening to loads of people?

  • TracksideNZ Trackside NZ (@TracksideNZ) reported

    Between 3am and 6am tomorrow morning there is another planned outage on Freeview that will affect our Trackside 1 and 2 channels. At this time Freeview customers will be unable to watch either Trackside 1 or Trackside 2. We appreciate your understanding.
