  • margatesunsets Fiona K. (@margatesunsets) reported from Margate, England

    @dancludlow Never thought of it even. Not that worried, there'll be a solution. It supposedly has Freesat & Freeview on it. Will have to try to get D's son out here, if he ever stays still, he'll know! TV is 2020 model, hardly top of the range but good enough for me.

    @LightsOutF1Blog @SkySportsF1 @SkyHelpTeam Would also be interested to se if you can get it for £10 through a different service eg virgin/freeview

    @Mancman10 You could even have a tax paid somehow to fund the work in upgrading Freeview etc. I just don’t believe and never have the bbc should have a fee attached to it

  • AnneCardwell4 Anne Cardwell (@AnneCardwell4) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Thank you for your response. I've been having problems with Freeview for months, so I'm not impressed with the service, and so many repeats, that we've already paid for. Regards Anne.

    @AnneCardwell4 Sorry to hear about the problems receiving Freeview though if you aren't happy with what the broadcasters are putting out, you would get in touch with the broadcaster in question. Fraser

    @ToshibaUSA when will the software be updated for the fire TV I purchased from @ArgosHelpers in October 22 re the picture flickering black. You say it's an issue with Freeview and the software on the tv

    @jasebyjason I thought this ! There’s probably not enough kids watching the tv now so they’re not bothering anymore but my dad never got wifi till I was 16 because waste of money so I feel bad for the families that rely on freeview tv 😭

  • GavNix Gavin Nixon☘️🌈 🇺🇦✊🏼#FBPPR #FBPE #SlavaUkraini (@GavNix) reported

    @KevinPMeagher @BriW74 It's 'The Eagle Has Landed', on BBC Four, right now, and i-Player for a few weeks' - complete with Donald Sutherland and ludicrously bad 'Irish' accent. No sign of 'Where Eagles' Dare' on any of the Freeview channels for the next while.

    @angefitzpatrick @libmichelle I have lived IN Edinburgh for the past 12 years. Our last house is on the edge of the city but definitely in it. On rainy days Freeview only picked up 4 TV channels and when we moved out in 2019 there was still no cable so internet was glacially slow.
