  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • 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.

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    @Forces_TV hi guys having a few problems with your freeview picture in London it freezes or breaks up had it since Friday

  • RobKerr32 Rob Kerr - I'm NOT a Robot (@RobKerr32) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @traceyfromrasen @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV My Freeview signal can be hopeless at best even connected to Wi-fi but the HDMI/laptop combo works well when the cat isn’t jumping on it !

  • 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 😂

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

    @bt_uk I got a problem it's not my fault and it's not BT issue I lost a lot of Freeview channels in my flat I went to no cancel and said you can have a dish because aerials are very bad in your area where you live we've had a lot of people coming to us about the same problem

  • john_service @johnservice@mastodon.social (@john_service) reported

    @MarkDob_ Oh really? Suppose Jarrett knows the value of a good TV deal in the UK from Impact’s run on Challenge. Challenge airing in FreeView was a huge help in drawing those big houses for TNA in the UK during the first half of the 2010s

  • IANdrewTheGiant IANdrew Dice Clay (@IANdrewTheGiant) reported

    I hear so many people wanting a blue tick. I had one in 2002, it wasnt fun. Blue tick is of course a prolonged twitch you get after finishing yourself during the 10 minute freeview in a computer seat. Never going back there again.

  • SarahGrimshaw_x Sarah Grimshaw (@SarahGrimshaw_x) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Our JVC smart TV will only let us change channels if we go onto the Freeview Play Guide, it won’t change if we just type in the number using the remote (remote works for everything else. Any help please? We’ve also got an issue with bbc iPlayer not working.

  • itz_literally Itz_Literally_Me (@itz_literally) reported

    @Tedsquare23 I mean, nowadays everyone has a TV (unless they are dropped to Basic) but they are Freeview & have radio stations.. ... also the wing would be listening to sad hour for people outside requesting songs for them... And blasting music a weekend off their Barnets! Wtf is he chat'n!?

  • mkquinn68 mark quinn (@mkquinn68) reported

    Apparently it’s on the red button channel on Freeview !?!? Still a terrible decision BBC !!!!

  • GladiatrixRedux Gladiatrix52 (@GladiatrixRedux) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV there is a problem with your Encore service via Freeview. A programme playing via Encore will suddenly stop and whatever is showing live on Freeview starts playing. There is no way of getting back to the point reached before the stop either.

  • S4C S4C 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@S4C) reported

    @yanto007 @S4Cchwaraeon English commentary will be available on the Red Button on Freeview. Any issues on the day get back to us.

  • GedCamera ged (@GedCamera) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Well done Sky When your box breaks down Freeview is not available Is it true that most people use "dodgy" boxes only I cannot understand why?

  • CliveRoper Clive Roper (@CliveRoper) reported from Dalham, England

    @TalkTV Can you not improve the picture quality on Freeview?? Compared to (GBNews) it is awful.

  • Nessiethesosage phil (@Nessiethesosage) reported

    @GetLustCast @nad8348 @grandi_fan Yup, they got me it. It was shite, I think someone joked why do you need it after the 15 minute freeview. I’d stick a vhs in to record it from midnight to 4am only to find half of that **** was some ****** talk show with fat old **** Derek Botham and annoying **** Eric Hall
