    @isykes79 @FreeviewAdvice Freeview can't do anything but report on Arquiva's progress, who have hit a view legal snags along the way. We, as far down as Filey, will be the last to see a good signal. This area is notoriously bad for TV reception so we've gone for Freesat.

    @a516digital Out of everyone I know only 1 had something other than sky freesat or freeview, he has virgin media, but is so reluctant to talk about it because he has had so many issues with it, he wants to smash it up.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital But what I did learn today, is everyone seems to be having some sort of issue, freeview seems to be annoying many, with its picture quality.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Unfortunately my parents are now unable to receive freeview, they watch sky/Freesat, after the wind blew down the, aerial.

  • residentchemist Certified bad *****. ♒ 🇯🇲🇰🇳♿ (@residentchemist) reported

    Really @skytv , no info, no update and now I have to sit on the phone for 30 mins to find out why YOU have cancelled my service? And now I'm being charged for freeview channels which I can get for free??? Nah this is ridiculous.

  • Stuartpb1 Stuart Broadhurst (@Stuartpb1) reported

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

  • Gary1609 Gary (@Gary1609) reported

    @gemandmoll @Bbmorg Which is great for you. So maybe you should be paying through subscription allowing those of us who do not watch their services the right to watch other freeview channels without paying for a service we do not want.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital When i lived at my parents freeview was no trouble at all. And remember getting com7 and 8, when they started.

    @LeeHurstComic Depends what the source is. If it’s SD freeview it will probably look terrible. Some channels are more compressed than others. Watch the HD channels. Plug a Blu-ray or 4K Blu ray (or watch a 4K film on a streaming service) and it will look like the mut’s nuts.
