    @gary_worden @cjssydney @cptcapitalg @FrogAlaPeche Poor people either don't have a TV or watch freeview.

    Why do I keep paying for TV service which is shit @BTGroup I get better service on indoor freeview aerial

  • 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

    @D0nATr0n @UberFacts Actually Breaking Bad series 1 and 2 was on FX, then 5USA showed it on Freeview. Didn’t go any further than series 3

  • EllenCottis Ellen Cottis (@EllenCottis) reported

    @JamesTurner37 @timalmond So what if the person could only afford the TV subscription? Sounds like virgin media are holding customers to ransom in your complex and could be forcing other customers into debt especially with COL crisis at present. Try an indoor aerial and signal booster for freeview tv.

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported

    @sianharries_ I don't know, Freeview's standard channels all look bloody awful compared to HD.

  • rutty_uk Dave Rutt (@rutty_uk) reported

    @LeadTestInclude We canned Virgin to go with Freeview plus Now Entertainment package. Still fairly cheap I guess. Just about enough programming that isn’t covered elsewhere. The NowTV box we have is rubbish. Awful interface (but it works - no channel numbers for freeview channels)

  • Bobbiburnss bubbles (@Bobbiburnss) reported

    I’m ditching Virgin - I’m being fed repeats & Bullshit TV….much of which is on Freeview & Free-sat etc., what is going on? Terminated my contract over a yr ago in writing and they ignored me? No landline 4 over a yr. WTF? And the Legalities? I’m going Commando!

  • hopeless_punter Dan Chivers (@hopeless_punter) reported

    @NNweather Please RT. Anyone in the NN2/NN3 area experiencing issues with their Freeview HD reception this weekend? Tried all the usual fixes but still dropping out every so often. I know O2 were doing some works in the area last week, so not sure if it's related to that.

  • sarahn0801 Sarah Malyon (@sarahn0801) reported

    @BBCiPlayerForum anyone help with solutions for how I can get iPlayer working again on my freeview TV? Not fire stick or Roku apps etc. get error 02056 (think it’s that number). I’ve logged out and back on, removed and reinstalled but still no luck. TIA
