    @MrAbelMagwitch A lot of University students also have access to "Box of Broadcasts" an online catchup service which can show tv programs from all the main freeview channels... they can stream BBC content on without needing a TV license.

    @danbloom1 @jed_mercurio Cancel Netflix, prime, Disney, sky/virgin tv, change phone contract to sim only, have freeview, shop at Aldi, no takeaways or eating out, don’t smoke or vape, don’t drink, cut down on other excess spend….just a few tips to help there.

    @Flashmaggie @Baroness_Nichol I was one of those who said I would never watch it. Ever. I have since watched @andrewdoyle_com on a number of occasions in recent months. It’s disappointing that the quality is so low on Freeview, but live YouTube stream is handy.

  • DonPedley1 Don Pedley (@DonPedley1) reported

    Have questioned why so few stations on Freeview in BN12 area. The reply from Freeview indicates reception in the area is poor as only a relay service & many stations not provided. Here is the conversation & how to complain to improve the service if you agree (I want Sky Arts)

  • CarlElphick Carl Elphick (@CarlElphick) reported

    ah hell, Mum's TV hasn't picked up the changes on Freeview and needs help. Pity she is a 7hr drive away

  • LukeCustardtv The CustardTV (@LukeCustardtv) reported

    @MrDavidEBrown No, not at all. It's all becoming very fragmented. What will Sky have when they lose the HBO stuff? I've always been a Sky customer but I'll ditch them and go Freeview and have HBO Max when that launches. It's so confusing at the moment.

  • Mr___Boy John (@Mr___Boy) reported

    @4Viewers Probably both but I was specifically talking about 4HD on terrestrial freeview (ch104). I didn't try the SD channel to compare but it's the same on multiple TVs from different brands. I have a feeling it's a Dolby issue, on my old TV it was better using built in TV speakers

  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    @A_M_Seed Don't have TV on at the moment because the Freeview signal is shot (high pressure). Otherwise they could have had CBeebies.

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @dramachannel The Freeview guide listings issue only affects Drama +1 displaying Dave listings.

    @JustAsk40745451 Hi, I believe if you follow Freeview Advice this should allow you to DM us. I have tried to DM you, for some reason I am unable to do this. Please try a software update within the TV settings. You could also try a factory reset to resolve the issue. Thank you, Melissa
