    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

    @Channel4 & @channel5_tv with all the problems with your networks going down, no subtitles unavailable to the deaf, why not open a 2nd channel on Freeview with all the same programming at the same time (like the HD channels), but with a Signer and subtitles on screen at all times

  • ianfpickles Frankie Pickles (@ianfpickles) reported

    @virginmedia what’s up with SD channels the quality is terrible .. my freeview SD channels are so much better!!?

  • AvifaunaLux2 Avi Lux 2 🌸 (@AvifaunaLux2) reported

    @louisebentley10 I've never seen and I missed it if it came up on Freeview. It never seems to air on Freeview now. I don't subscribe to paid services/streaming. I wish whatever channel aired it would show it again.

  • ChamarelDesigns Chamarel Designs (@ChamarelDesigns) reported

    @greatmoviesuk I’ve been watching GreatMovies Christmas since it launched for this year and it’s just disappeared mid-movie this evening. It returned but with a split screen. Unplugged tv & still had the issue so I auto retuned & now channels 51 AND 49 don’t exist on my freeview!

  • AndyD_Ninja 🔰Andy Danbury (@AndyD_Ninja) reported

    @SkyUK #skyglass? Qs. 1. Who manufactures the TVs for Sky? 2. If you cancel sky, this then renders the TV useless? 3. No option to view any other service? eg freeview 4. No alternative if BBand dies? 5. No such thing as "live" TV as everything is delayed? Not enough info given on this.

  • TEOL85 The Evolution Of Life (@TEOL85) reported

    @SkyUK Freeview Play should get Sky Play App with Sky Arts, Challenge, Pick and News the Freeview channels free of charge with the option to further login with your forum password and put your viewing card number in. That converts existing smart TVs into a Sky Glass TV as well.

  • ddemOn888 Dad Attitude (@ddemOn888) reported

    @Ftumch3 Yeah. I only watch it if I stay in a hotel and the WiFi/phone reception is terrible and I'm reliant on Freeview TV.

  • BinteKhalid82 ****-e-Khalid (@BinteKhalid82) reported

    @MahamOfficial_2 Is PTV Sports broadcasting in UK? We don't want to buy Sky sports subscriptions so plz help us to find any freeview channel to watch #T20WorldCup2021.

  • 80percentvegan Proper Forte (@80percentvegan) reported

    I don’t have Netflix so I watched a Poundland version of a series on some **** on some freeview channel. Quid Game was a bit **** tbh

  • sustainbritons Sustainable Briton (@sustainbritons) reported

    I would like #vegansuk just to take a look at how farmers care for their animals. With sheep, look at what they supply beyond meat. Go out buy wool to insulate your homes, insulate yourselves. Never think an animal is wasted. Freeview 82 now @Katehumble make nature work) #vegans
