    @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

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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.

    With Virgin TV being down for last few days I must say I know people need internet but why anyone pays for TV (Virgin or Sky) is beyond me. More than enough on Freeview (inc plenty of cr@p). If you want sport/films just subscribe to NOW TV and dip in and out as you want.

    @TalkingPicsTV @tptvpodcast Hi, I’m wondering if you are showing ‘Tim Driscoll’s Donkey’ again any time soon? I started watching it yesterday but got dragged away to help with a plumbing job … and 3.5 hrs later the Freeview box had given up!! 🙄 Thanks!!!!! 🐴🇮🇪

    @osteogenesis I’m on EE and haven’t had any trouble at all. Got my phone with them too on sim only. In fact it’s been so good I’m going to renew with them when it’s due. I’ve got a freeview box and shared Amazon Prime on a family thing.

    @GBNEWS @GBNEWS Are you aware the lip sync on Freeview has been really bad this evening? I hope it can be fixed.

  • waccoetom Tom (@waccoetom) reported

    @leeds_lord Just cancelled Sky, bill went from £57 to £97, for the simple explanation that I’d been a customer for 18 months 🤔 Gone to City Fibre internet and use my Apple TV to stream Netflix, Prime, and all freeview channels with an option for sports pass through the Now TV app.

    @Mlabus5 @Gaarrgh Not a Scooby. But Channel 4 had major issues after a recent fire? And I read the channel was not available in some areas or on Freeview since 2pm

  • Stuart_1992 Stuaгt (@Stuart_1992) reported

    @petemorristwit I still have the same issue with Freeview. At least with analogue you could receive a poor signal instead of one that breaks up completely. I'm so glad we have a satellite dish now.

  • annlyon55 Ann (@annlyon55) reported

    @virginmedia We just put freeview on tv...Wasn't a big issue.

  • JonathanWood3 Jonathan Wood 💉 (@JonathanWood3) reported

    @ajb4371 @TheMiddleStump Pretty bad that there aren't even any freeview highlights of overseas tests now. At least you get that for home tests

  • KarlHar36699702 Karl Harrison (@KarlHar36699702) reported

    @virginmedia Still seeing issues with TV. Picture keeps flickering or freezing like a poor connection. No issues when watching the same channels via Freeview, so clearly not fully fixed. Rebooted Tivobox a couple of times, no change. When will things be back to normal?
