    Continually frustrated by @TalkTalk and its inconsistent service and performance. Have today purchased a freeview recorder to replace their box and will be actively looking for new broadband provider.

  • robinjuste Robin Juste Emery (@robinjuste) reported from Gillingham, England

    Fog risk and disruption to TV and radio transmissions. Expect some lost Freeview or low signal channels on some mornings next week! #KentWeather @AffinityDJ @AffinityKent

  • LexFuturus LexFuturus (@LexFuturus) reported from Longfield, England

    Terrible streaming quality via YouTube! @btsport should have made it freeview #UCLfinal

  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38

  • Davidp1103 David-19 (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @TalkTalk It would be nice if you could reduce or remove a £40 charge for an engineer who called but made no inspection of equipment, explained that Freeview channels had been altered; a fact that your customer services were not aware of, but should have known.

    UK people: Knight Rider is on from now until 3pm on Freeview Legend channel. This has been a public service announcement.

  • PeterGriffithss Pete (@PeterGriffithss) reported

    @DomWarner @Tankslider @RussInCheshire Mate, I'm watching Wheel of Time on a streaming service right now. Even if you're on Freeview you've got more than 5 channels and there's one showing Extreme Philately. Go to there.

  • MissCarrieW Carrie (@MissCarrieW) reported

    I've had Sky News on in the background today because my freeview seems to be broken. But I now really want the familiar voice of Huw Edwards. Don't think I am alone as iPlayer seems to have crashed too. #RIPQueenElizabeth

  • sparran_d El Cucueans (@sparran_d) reported

    @EddieMakesGames I honestly find the crap TVs work best for freeview, assuming that’s what you’re on. Bluepoint is a great brand for simple freeview.

  • Toasty83 Dean (@Toasty83) reported

    @GregScottTV Uktv still broadcasting with a caption to turn over to bbc news earlier. Some Shopping channels down, Sky could have closed sky arts or pick on freeview with sky news in its place, They didn't, Showcase though are but it'd pay tv.

  • andymhamilton Andrew Hamilton (@andymhamilton) reported

    @Paulout @HibbsA Thanks for the help, where yours has a 'guide' button mine has a 'Disney+' button (great😕). I've eBay ordered yours £3 The slim one misses some functions..freesat to freeview, etc.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @Prof_Nostalgia @TPTVEncore @freesat_tv It's just Freeview for now. We cannot make promises but will continue to consider all possibilities for the future development of the service whenever possible.

  • Redeyes1878 RedWhiteBlack1878 (@Redeyes1878) reported

    Watching Real Madrid on @PremierSportsTV because of their Freeview offering. Never watched such poor coverage of any event. Poor sound, awful commentary, absolute amateur offering. Like watching a match on FIFA20.

  • htwcentral Historical Television Website (@htwcentral) reported

    That's all I could spot this evening on Freeview though there could have been other message(s) shown earlier which I never saw. No doubt some TV presentation sites/forums will have a comprehensive guide to what was shown/not shown tonight. 15/

  • jelbugle j_e_l (@jelbugle) reported

    @pb14 @dubdobdee True, and the multi-channel environment on freeview seemed pretty much the same as ever last night. Poor old Beeb is in a bit of a bind.
