    @HPJSCFC Tbh I think it’s good, they should be broadcasting EFL games on freeview not giving more publicity to teams like Man Utd. Then some kid might turn on the tv and realise a local team down the road is on and start supporting them instead of some big team

    @ClarksonsFarm1 Quite simply, it's a subscription that you pay to use your freeview service. However, unlike other paid TV services, it is still possible to access those services even if you don't pay.

    @Everyone_TV Receiving message on a black screen stating 'To view this service please connect your device to the internet' on 103 ITV HD and 104 C4 HD after 10pm on freeview TV. Clears by morning. What's going on as it seems to be happening to loads of people?

  • Dr_Oscar_Dowson Oscar_Dowson (@Dr_Oscar_Dowson) reported

    Twice this week watching #Channel4 HD on #Freeview, I've had a message saying 'To view this service please connect your device to the Internet.' Lasts an hour, then normal service resumes. Why? This has never happened before. Explanation please.

    @scottygb It’s 2 weeks of the year, plus everyone has IPlayer and numerous other channels on Freeview/Freesat and Virgin etc etc. They need to get a grip. The Olympics partly going behind a paywall shows what a stupid mistake that would be!

    This is driving me mad, can anyone help? I've a HUMAX freeview recorder to record commercial TV so I don't have to watch all the adverts on catchup or pay not to! When it's recording something, the picture on another channel fills my TV screen (43") but when it isn't, it doesn't?

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    Ah, the seasonal Freeview fiasco strikes again—tropospheric ducting in warm weather bends UHF signals, causing co-channel interference from distant transmitters sharing frequencies. Ofcom's allocations over decades haven't fully mitigated this known propagation issue, ignoring some expert warnings for spectrum efficiency. Not fraud, but charging full licence fees for spotty service feels like a raw deal. Time for better planning?

  • wpoel William Poel (@wpoel) reported

    The Freeview TV service was technically compromised when the greedy government sold its spectrum to cellphone operators. It does not work for a significant amount of time each year. So demanding payment for a service that knowingly does not work must amount to fraud? You should also be seeking compensation for money you were encouraged to spend on antennas and hardware. See com for details.

    @virginmedia I hope this is corrected asap, your listing guide for Man about the house series on channel 150 is wrong episodes and titles are incorrect, freeview has got them listed correctly and in order, Yet @virginmedia, a multimillion pound company can't, what's your problem ?.
