    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

    Why is changing channels on my Humax Freeview box so slow? The interface literally has one job.

  • rachelgmarks Sir Rachel Marks 🦟(imagine it's blue) (@rachelgmarks) reported

    @joeb_EY Analog TV has, I think, now been switched off everywhere, so you'll need to access Freeview. Check with your neighbours whether they get a Freeview signal - mountains can be pesky (bad enough where I am with gentle hills!). I solved it by getting a Roku Express to convert...

  • TommyRethink Tommy Flanagan (@TommyRethink) reported

    We have an old DTT freeview box in our cord-never house that only makes special appearances every two years, when the old girl is dusted off for the World Cup and the Euros. Tells you all you need to know about reliability of live streaming services for footy. Anyone else?

  • Prof_Plumtree Professor Plumtree (@Prof_Plumtree) reported

    @davehendon @eurosport @WeAreWST it isn't an issue to me as I can watch online, but why has freeview QUEST stopped showing the snooker?

  • tvfanatics22 TVFanatics (TVF) (@tvfanatics22) reported

    Main server restart due to everyone having a melt down over a freeview channel on such a service. Sorry in advanced... but still 3-0 🙌🏻

    @TheDaiLlew It took me so long to get out of being a Virgin customer. I eventually got out of the grind by getting a satellite dish installed via BT (as a new customer for the a year) then buying a Freeview box. Now I just have to get the Internet from somewhere and can shop around. Pob lwc!

    @p4G3y30 @MartinSLewis If you watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat), you need to be covered by a TV Licence. You don’t need a TV Licence if you never watch live on any channel, TV service or streaming service, or use BBC iPlayer*. On any device.

    @TalkingPicsTV Best channel on TV.Hopefully it never loses its slot on Freeview like a couple of other much missed channels.
