    @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

    @danielcox194 if freeview - atmospheric issues

  • Stephen_Neal Stephen Neal (@Stephen_Neal) reported

    @nigelwUK @MatthewMarks42 @bobdvb Odd. It must be doing a 5.1->2.0 PCM fold-down rather than a 5.1 PCM output I guess. There is no stereo on Freeview HD when 5.1 is being broadcast. (On satellite there is a parallel stereo audio description feed)

    @2261552iThe How are people supposed to watch on Freeview? I don't trust BT and will never use them as they owe us money when we changed Broadband and phone provider. They never returned our money and won't respond to emails or calls.

    @TalkingPicsTV Have to watch on Freeview as the Sky signal dish is effected by roof working scaffolding erected.

  • SixfieldsSid Didcot Yard 💙 (@SixfieldsSid) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi I am having trouble with the ITV channels on Freeview, it started a few weeks ago when the picture pixelated and popped, the channel has now disappeared completely and is showing no signal, BBC channels OK

  • pipbegley Philip Begley (@pipbegley) reported

    The more they charge the less service they offer. My package about to rise to £121 a month, found what I want elsewhere for £46. Just broadband and sport channels. Rest covered by freeview. Don't see reason to pay to watch Rio Bravo 3-4 times a week. So many channels dulpicate.
