    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • Smoothste21 Smoothste2 (@Smoothste21) reported from Sale, England

  • MarcAllen81 Marc Allen (@MarcAllen81) reported

    @Blissbooster I've switch to normal Freeview.. fine now, deffo a Virgin issue.

  • SixfieldsSid Didcot Yard 💙 (@SixfieldsSid) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi I am having trouble with the ITV channels on Freeview, it started a few weeks ago when the picture pixelated and popped, the channel has now disappeared completely and is showing no signal, BBC channels OK

  • RudolphUcker 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚒𝚝 𝚖𝚞𝚎𝚜𝚕𝚒  (@RudolphUcker) reported

    There is definitely a place amongst the 100+ channels we have on Freeview / freesat for something like Classic FM TV. I miss that, but it got lazy, and had pretty poor sound and picture quality.

  • TJStamp TJ Stamp (@TJStamp) reported

    @jaredspx @natehiggins Tried several… freeview, freesat, YouTube, TikTok… all are bad but iPlayer is best in class at the moment.

  • Stephen_Neal Stephen Neal (@Stephen_Neal) reported

    @nigelwUK @MatthewMarks42 @bobdvb Odd. It must be doing a 5.1->2.0 PCM fold-down rather than a 5.1 PCM output I guess. There is no stereo on Freeview HD when 5.1 is being broadcast. (On satellite there is a parallel stereo audio description feed)

  • runilon Runilon (@runilon) reported

    Anyone having problems with broadband & TV from @virginmedia in London? Getting error codes CS3300, CS2004. TV picture starts flickering & either wifi drops or runs very slowly! Freeview is fine. Not getting the service we paid for!

  • dook42_domini Dook 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇳🇿 (@dook42_domini) reported

    would be nice to be able to watch the #eurovision2022 - youtube geo blocking, iplayer says no (geo blocked again), and freeview reception terrible.

  • JAQKpanda ♦♠JAQK♥♣🐼Vtuber! (@JAQKpanda) reported

    @KatiKnitt That really sucks. We have the TV license here in the UK, but if you don't actually consume "live TV" (BBC, freeview, live sports, etc.) then you don't actually have to pay for it; in my case, all I use is YT, Twitch & stream subs. Shocking and aggravating that you're forced to!
