    @AdamT_78 @virginmedia Yep. Just had the same email...mine is going up £12. I've only got basic TV package. I can get those channels on freeview. Its worse! From Apr 2024 because we know the rate is going up regularly at the same time every year by RPI +3.9% we won't have the 'right to cancel' 😡

  • timporteruk Tim Porter (@timporteruk) reported

    @DanWoodger Don’t get me started! They are the worst of the worst in a multitude of ways. I’ve been a Plusnet / Freeview customer ever since and would never go back to Virgin EVER! Best of luck getting out!

    @bookplatypus I can get the iPlayer and All 4 via my TV, but to record RTE programmes, I need the Freeview box to record. I'm wondering if there is a solution I'm missing.

    @_tomasibray @a516digital At the moment when you checked poor old cinderella Freeview its the red screen, it isn't dead at the moment on HD and then they show some BBC programme clips before 7pm.

    @TimMadigan9 Never watch the BBC / ITV or the other home crap .. mainly Freeview channels with Disney , Netflix and prime and i dont pay 🤷

  • NZTVupdate Aotearoa/New Zealand TV Update (@NZTVupdate) reported

    @DrRocke @FreeviewNZ @Primetv_NZ All we have to go on is this statement "You can look forward to more new channels in the year ahead too". Maybe Discovery is bringing it's Food Network to Freeview but who knows at this point.

  • AndyWoodturner Andy Coates (@AndyWoodturner) reported

    OK...so the coaxial jumped from the Freeview box into the blueray box in it's own? "I never touched it." "I never touched it either." Fine. Then you have a sentient coaxial cable with a mischievous personality. "A what?" Nothing. It's fixed. "Oh, good. Can you look at the laptop”

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @PaperCowboys I’m afraid that’s almost impossible. But have you spoken to Freeview? @FreeviewTV can you help please?

    Staying in a holiday cottage with BT TV. Not sure why anyone bothers to pay for this service. Far less decent choice than Freeview and seems to have nothing but back to back ancient repeats.

    @spuddemos @ITVX There's an app for your phone or computer or your TV (like BBC iplayer). But if you only get terrestrial channels or Freeview "live" on your TV, you might have to get someone to help you set it up.
