  • LynnyH Lynn Houghton (@LynnyH) reported from Milton Keynes, England

    @FreeviewAdvice We have a relatively new television that, although we have retuned it, we do not get any main channels - BBC1 etc and several other channels. Could it be a receiver problem or a Freeview problem. Also takes ages to change channels. (Milton Keynes)

    @ks_1968 Dunno. Just thought - I bet she has seen them all. ( I love classic films but no TV set/ freeview box & satellite coverage here is poor for streaming so no Hallmark channel . Maybe Elon Musk's new initiative will change this for people like us here)

    @win_confidante I'm still watching freeview on an old analogue TV plus I'm too tight to pay for it. I've got the game of thrones dvds from my sister to watch, I don't like Tom cruise so top gun was never of much interest I've seen an iron-man & a couple of captain America's but nowt special

  • SuffolkRoyal SuffolkRoyal (@SuffolkRoyal) reported

    @RichardWellings At the rate people are cancelling their licences, it’s unlikely the decision will be the BBC’s to make. But, as you say, very few would choose to pay for the BBC as a subscription service. Their future lies in commercial, freeview, tv, like ITV, Channel 4 and all the others.

    @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.

    Why is ITV broadcast picture on @virginmedia such poor quality? Just checked Freeview HD and it’s perfect.

  • gNcTJot1JZbw0FB . (@gNcTJot1JZbw0FB) reported

    @reallychannel sort your signal for your freeview channel,absolute shocking. Everyday without fail it’s only your channel that constantly freezes and jumps. Sort it ASAP or will no longer watch your ****** channel

    @FreeviewTV Noticing that you're thinking of bringing out a streaming service for all providers. Freeview play style? I'd have no idea. Despite the fact I could spit on the Netherton Braes relay from my couch, I've never seen a second of live TV from it.

  • Adamadamant1111 Adam Boyer (@Adamadamant1111) reported

    Great start to the weekend..not! Last night police called round to let me know someone had put a brick through the window of the house I rent out, currently empty. Had a new tenant lined up for Monday not sure she'll want it now and today bought a freeview box, its doesnt work!

    @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
