  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Terrible streaming quality via YouTube! @btsport should have made it freeview #UCLfinal

  • Davidp1103 David-19 (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @TalkTalk It would be nice if you could reduce or remove a £40 charge for an engineer who called but made no inspection of equipment, explained that Freeview channels had been altered; a fact that your customer services were not aware of, but should have known.

    @SpeedStar_76 @BBCNews 'You can cancel your licence if you no longer: watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat) watch live on streaming services (e.g. ITVX, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now, Sky Go) use BBC iPlayer*.'

  • damoxl Damo (@damoxl) reported

    @Mark_P0x0n @LucyMPowell But I might want to watch something on freeview that requires adverts & a properly costed budget to fund (not BBC) So why should I pay for the BBC when their model is at best a tax on live TV of any sort? This is where the BBC falls down in the modern era, it's simply outdated

  • Wardys Paul (@Wardys) reported

    @c25zbb24f6 @netblocks I can't even get normal TV apart from freeview, I'm in Premier inn, paid £5 for ultimate WiFi and can't even connect to the Internet never mind streaming.

  • DiakoNFT54 BLxKΞ // Swagger.ETH (@DiakoNFT54) reported

    I'm sure there will be other providers trying to do the same worried people will cancel services due to cost of living increases. We just cancelled SKY TV as were paying £50 a month to pretty much watch channels that are available on freeview.

  • StephenOld Stephen Old #ParodyPhantomOfThePinguwalda'sServant (@StephenOld) reported

    @couiza @PsychicSquirrel @virginmedia We have never watched TV from VM. Our TV has Freeview channels built in.

  • AboutEG About East Grinstead (@AboutEG) reported

    Poor Freeview reception here this morning, especially on BBC channels. Atmospheric conditions?

  • joolsreevey julia (@joolsreevey) reported

    @Scrippsy48 It's on freeview 716 on the TV if that's any help

  • MattGunner32 Matt Gunner (@MattGunner32) reported

    @JVCSmartHome I have a LT-40CF890. TV is only operating via the apps and Wifi. Press any of the channel numbers and it comes up, but screen is blank and no sound. If I press Live TV button, it just shows Freeview and buffering. Tried unplugging TV but problem persists.
