  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

    @Jake_Kanter I look forward to @afneil explaining how that would work technically for all the tens of millions of homes that get all their TV through Freesat and Freeview. Spoiler - there is no solution that doesn't cost billions and a decade to implement

  • HenryVlII Henry 🎱 (@HenryVlII) reported

    @ReutersUK His freeview must've been down for the past two years, he ain't getting any local news.

  • TheINCrowdBpool The IN Crowd (Blackpool) (@TheINCrowdBpool) reported

    That's Freeview for us poor people

  • blakeleynixon Blakeley Nixon (@blakeleynixon) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Can you help me resolve the FVP-300 error so I can use freeview apps on my new tv?

  • MattikOtto Otto Mattik (@MattikOtto) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV @jonathancoe @BAFTA That's terrible of them. Your channel is one of the best on Freeview because of the variety and curation. I'm sure you'll get the plaudits in time.

  • mcglubber mcglubber (@mcglubber) reported

    I can finally give my 31 days notice to **** sky off altogether. Since October, I've paid £15 a month for Freeview from my Q box. £15 a month for FREEview. I've currently been waiting over half an hour in the "loyalty queue", I will ******* win.

    And does this apply to Freeview Play TVs also when not being connected to an internet feed. Many thanks, have an issue with a TV to try and resolve

  • FixatedOn Steve... (@FixatedOn) reported

    @yorkyqui It will likely never hit freeview, it's an Apple TV show, exclusively on Apple TV. If you want to watch it on a laptop or tablet I'm happy to share my login. My tv has Apple TV as an app, like Iplayer...

  • dhothersall Duncan Hothersall🌹 (@dhothersall) reported

    @hrochfor1 "Freeview Channel 264" is VisionTV, not a Freeview channel at all but an IPTV distribution service. IPTV is accessible anywhere in the world and is not subject to broadcast licences. I already said RT could continue on the web if it lost its licence. Please stop pretending.

  • GrumpyKav Kav (@GrumpyKav) reported

    @FreeviewTV @bbc can you confirm that TVs or devices that have the Freeview logo must give free access via an aerial (signal dependant) to all your listed TV & radio stations, without need for any additional internet connections and if so are there guidelines that can be sent?
