    @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

  • 4Viewers 4Viewers (@4Viewers) reported

    @Mr___Boy Hi John, we would suggest retuning your Freeview devices to see if this helps as we are having no widespread issues with this.

    @insimonated Thanks fella. I'm trying to get away from Virgin at the moment. Have sorted freeview now so will be calling to cancel all services shortly once I've sourced replacement WiFi provider. Virgin offered me a £2 reduction in my *almost* £100 monthly bill to remove the following:

    @TommyGribbin @MaggieM76079577 Don't have sky. Want to watch footie I go to the pub. Sky is just a few hundred more channels of crap and we have enough rubbish on regular freeview telly.

    Ideal Extra on Freeview has changed it's caption to 'Sorry, this service is no longer available'.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @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

    @mycampervan We use a @roku streaming device for TV but when WiFi signal isn't good, the aerial always gets a good Freeview signal.
