    @drewhill79 @VodafoneUK @MattJConnor @StHKHIS Same here. BT got the 150 mb and it flies. Good support and I stream everything!! Don’t even have normal freeview.

  • 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

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • Northern_Steve Steve, just Steve (@Northern_Steve) reported from Manchester, England

    @mickmcfc1 I'll never know. I've pulled the cable out. BBC Parliament on freeview only from now on. They talk absolute bollocks but rarely about football. I'm in!

  • HelsBels2525 Helen Bristow (@HelsBels2525) reported

    Today I've been working to Greatest Hits Radio and Smooth Radio. Mainly as I had to get stations on Freeview due to wangy internet, but I've never felt more middle aged.

  • SteveCatley1969 Steve Catley (@SteveCatley1969) reported

    @SteveBlythe @BBCSport Agree - rubbish screen on freeview - scores and ***** not showing correctly - v.poor BBC !!

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    @StarchyMarchy @LeeMcilwaine @BBCTwo No, poor freeview signal Tim. Same on every setting.

  • SaffyBun Karla (@SaffyBun) reported

    @greatesthitsuk have you got technical issues? Cannot hear a thing on Freeview... Just silence from the middle of the last song 😢

  • ms_czapla Mrs Czapla (@ms_czapla) reported

    @Mistywoman1 @grafter4867 All I know is that since I had the second jab I can get something called GB News on my freeview and it was never there before. Coincidence? I'll let you decide.

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    @LeeMcilwaine @corylus @BBCSport You’ll never believe it Lee, but you’re wrong. The signal is being cropped on this freeview signal. Cropped on every picture aspect.

  • SMILE42DAY Ⓜ️ICHELLE🪴🌳🌼💞Nature! (@SMILE42DAY) reported

    @pureangel40 @MSHopkins4 I've had problems with my Freeview box & my mobile here today. Both keep switching off for nothing! 😳

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported

    @LeeMcilwaine @TobyWoody There you go. You didn’t have all the facts, jumped to a patronising conclusion and still shared a solution. The problem was with Freeview. Not our TV settings ;)

  • chriswalkerb 🦝chris🦝 (@chriswalkerb) reported

    @dez_bond A freeview recorder haha! The main issue is getting her to understand which source the tv is on 👵🏼🥺

  • TheRealMuseigen JUST MEGGY (@TheRealMuseigen) reported

    @faelapis @thecartooncrave I watched gumball on Cartoon Network before. But then I got Freeview.
