    @MrCoolHandLuke @PairoMayniaq @Telegraph Much of the country can't and will never get Freeview or full fibre broadband. In future it will be the same with 4G and 5G and whatever comes next.

    Nooooo just lost our TV signal in the middle of @TheRepairShop Christmas programme. Freeview signal out across much of Cambs but until this minute we'd been ok. Thank heavens for iPlayer so we can see the rest later.

    @TavernHoyden I have freeview now But when I had Virgin - one of their old boxes I had had an ariel jackplug in it so whenever Virgin TV went down it would automatically switch to the freeview aerial - back then Virgin rarely went down though

    @il0venostalgia The 80's wasn't bogged down with genres,and internet made people less experimental. Further music got away from 92,everything had been done really! Need to bring back music to Freeview,not all stuck on the net!

    If you only have Freeview you'll notice that they're just putting **** old films anything up to 70 or 80 years old on Freeview channels now because I guess pay sites bought Freeview channels and put old crap to encourage people to join there pay sites

    @rockgod1970 @GBNEWS Yes same on freeview all evening. Out of synch issues often seems to happen. Surprised how few people seem to raise the issue on here.

  • padzer78 Patrick McCluskey (@padzer78) reported

    @BowesChay Why waste money on Netflix when one can enjoy Freeview or built in Roku TV when buying a new TV down in Tesco? And you get Clubcard points too!

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    Is anyone else having trouble with BBC SD channels on Freeview?

  • Harjam10 Harjam10 (@Harjam10) reported
