    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    @edgarwright @broccantyzack @itv2 Would make for a brilliant friday/saturday/sunday triple header. Would love to break it down into how many times a year they appear on freeview TV

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

    The LG C1 oled is incredible! However @LGUK why is the EPG on your freeview so slow and constantly loading? Never had these issues before, its painful to use.

  • Warzoid A Life Is A Life (@Warzoid) reported

    @Paul68958640 @netflix Same. The licence fee is still the best value subscription service in Britain - every freeview channel incl the BBC. Talking Pictures and Channel 4. Enjoyed Squid Game and Mindhunter (r.i.p.) but not enough to justify £6.99 I could be spending to see other shows elsewhere.

    @sellar_james @DeanLockhartMSP I have no mains gas, no public water, no public sewage, no fast broadband until 2027, no DAB radio, no Freeview signal, no trains and a virtually non-existent bus service......so branding on food packets isn't that important in the grand scheme of things.

    Anyone else finding that their #Freeview signal has substantially weakened 🤔 Found recently that terrestrial channels are inexplicably disappearing from our smart TV. Not sure if they've weakened the signal to save energy. We're in South Birmingham.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi problems with Freeview dipping in and out and ‘No Signal’ in Dorking - is it a transmitter issue? Any help gratefully received

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @GreenDragonpip Hi, We do not provide a service to view Freeview online. If your friend views the programs via catch up players such as BBC iPlayer or ITV Hub you would need to speak to the broadcasters directly. Thanks, Dylan

    @jezzojezzo @GBNEWS Hi Jez..just out interest what platform are you watching this on. Is it Freeview, Virgin or Sky? Are you still getting the problem?

  • qvcuk QVC UK (@qvcuk) reported

    @SusanHuskisson1 Hi Susan, I'm sorry that you've had issues trying to watch the channel. We're not aware of any issues, but if you try and re-scan your freeview box/tuner, hopefully this'll fix it for you. Stacey x

    @MrKennethClarke I never watch Question time because I am always asleep at that time but I leave the TV on but on any other channel except the BBC on Freeview. @MrKennethClarke
