Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England@jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue
-
Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England@tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

Franky uptownclub (@uptownclub) reported from Harlow, England@Virgin how do I go about leaving Virgin because I'm paying roughly £63.50 a month for a phone that I never use only to ring you up when there's a problem.. most of my viewing is on Freeview now and I have Amazon HD fire stick and Netflix account
-
Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England@FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try
-
Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England@Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

J. Alfred Prufrock (@Stroudgreenguy) reported from Tottenham, England@Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.

Gerry (@Gerrysmart99) reported@Margare62511181 Apart from a few webmail issues Eir is the way to go. SKY treated me like a nuisance caller instead of a valued customer.Maybe things have changed over the last ten years & it no longer sends legally sounding threatening letters even tho it was it's own fault. Advise: Freeview😟

RedWhiteBlack1878 (@Redeyes1878) reportedWatching Real Madrid on @PremierSportsTV because of their Freeview offering. Never watched such poor coverage of any event. Poor sound, awful commentary, absolute amateur offering. Like watching a match on FIFA20.
-
Paul Webster (@paulwebster) reportedImpressed to see that @TalkingPicsTV now has a Freeview Red Button service. HbbTV (Freeview Play) so older TVs might not work - and requires Internet connection.
-
Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported@Prof_Nostalgia @TPTVEncore @freesat_tv It's just Freeview for now. We cannot make promises but will continue to consider all possibilities for the future development of the service whenever possible.

EastLight (@EastLight) reported@mashcore4mums @a516digital Not sure if the small delay on BBC 1 vs News is intentionally added, or related to the feed passing through regional centres? Freeview SD pictures are poor even on "high" bitrate channels though. "Dreadful" was my initial reaction when I 1st saw DVB in 1999- this hasn't changed.
-
Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported@a516digital Brilliant, thank you. For some reason the BBC seem slow or reluctant to update their listings which for programmes not broadcast makes my Freeview box give a "recording failed due to power loss" error.

Ros Chappell 🇺🇦StandWithUkraine ⭐️UK Rejoin 🇪🇺 (@RosChappell) reportedDoes anyone know if Samsung Freesat tvs can receive Freeview like other tvs? I've been ping-ponged between @JohnLewisRetail customer services & technical support, who initially said did, then @SamsungSupport who said didn't, then JL say it needs a digital aerial. 🥴😵💫🌀😵
-
Bute Hoose (@Bute_Hoose) reported@srobb68 @Boukalaki @garryhooper It won't happen..... Also, Freeview is a consortium of broadcasters (of which the BBC is only part)> Remove the BBC altogether then you'll just end up with crap adverts and a larger bill to pay whichever entity comes in to take over.
-
Scott Reid (@ascottreid) reported@scottygb Also - and I'm not an expert in this and I could be wrong - is there not a technical issue where it's a bad idea for too many Freeview channels to show the same thing at the same time? I'd assumed that's why BBC Three and BBC Four were off the air rather than simulcasting.
