  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • chef247patrick patrick efc mc (@chef247patrick) reported from Bolton, England

    @steviemac2010 @LFC_NewStories Watch them cancel the freeview now

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

  • Toffeewolfie Philip whitehurst (@Toffeewolfie) reported from Liverpool, England

    @rlwjones @Nick_Metcalfe @MarkyBunny They made one champions League game per round free to air..usually the crap games though..they used to have a channel on Freeview..

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

    I don't have an ariel or freeview I rely on your piece of shit @virginmedia #VirginMedia

  • karlmcintyre Karl McIntyre (@karlmcintyre) reported from St Helens, England

    @drewhill79 @VodafoneUK @MattJConnor @StHKHIS Same here. BT got the 150 mb and it flies. Good support and I stream everything!! Don’t even have normal freeview.

  • bulldogbyrne julie byrne (@bulldogbyrne) reported from Hindley, England

    Why do I keep paying for TV service which is shit @BTGroup I get better service on indoor freeview aerial

  • quodignoratum Myles Winstone (@quodignoratum) reported from Warrington, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Definitely. We struggle getting Freeview and as you’re not on BT TV I’m missing my fix!

  • groovicat groovicat 💚 (@groovicat) reported from Adlington, England

    @Sillyshib Heartbeat, ssshhh, it's never been off. You can watch Heartbeat every day on freeview

  • HOWJORD Howard (@HOWJORD) reported

    @darkcompass @AbuIbsu @BBCNews It would be nice if you actually had a choice. Buy if you want Freeview without the BBC you still have to pay as there's no way to turn it off. It should be a subscription service.

  • DrAndrewR Andrew (@DrAndrewR) reported

    @TheRealRevK @LGUK Sony are at it too. After buying the TV you have to accept the terms and conditions of data processing or it won’t let you watch anything. To this day I haven’t tuned the thing for freesat or freeview as I refuse to accept the awful terms.

  • DanRhodes101 Dan Rhodes (@DanRhodes101) reported

    @BrokenBiros @swansonian On the one hand I need to fix our aerial so we can get freeview, on the other hand when I do that there will be TOO MUCH TELLY.

  • stellastar12 stella (@stellastar12) reported

    @danwootton I know I will be hated but £159 a yr not so bad in my book. I pay for no other tv. No sky, Netflix or any other that some say you can't live without. I have 5 terrestrial channels plus freeview more than enough channels

  • DavidBridger David Bridger #BlackLivesMatter (@DavidBridger) reported

    @emsquare_d @CyclingLain We can't get a signal downstairs so watch Freeview upstairs (which we're happy with) and Virgin downstairs. It's that or Sky, which we can't bring ourselves to get because Murdoch. Virgin's business ethos pisses us off, but between that and Sky it's the lesser of two evils.

  • SteffApCennydd SteffApCennydd (@SteffApCennydd) reported

    @shearersbuddy @Inandoutagain Because the majority of UK viewers get their tv service via Freeview and it doesn't have the tech capability to go to a subs set up. Cummings had this explained to him in detail which is why his & Bozo's plan to scrap the tv licence was quietly shelved.

  • GrahamWatts15 Northern Lad 💙 (@GrahamWatts15) reported

    @virginmedia The worst customer service in the world and a company that has always neglected long time customers over new ones. The costs are also astronomical including charging customers to deliver freeview channels in every TV package

  • Antipolluters King Arthur (@Antipolluters) reported

    @JBainsworthy @darrengrimes_ @cue_bono It's going on Freeview and Freesat. Money doesn't appear to be an issue.

  • drtoriaredfern Toria Redfern (@drtoriaredfern) reported

    Oh, +now+ I find out there's a Freeview app. After kvetching about Talking Pictures TV for nearly a year. I've decided this is all your fault and not a research fail on my part.

  • LeeThacker2 Lee Thacker (@LeeThacker2) reported

    @FauxChisels @_Nightingales Can anybody help? I don't have Freeview or Sky so I downloaded the Sky Go app on my laptop but it's not working. I tried watching The Art Of Architecture to test it out but it says Sky Go is currently unavailable. It's looking like I won't get to see the film😕
