    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

  • 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

  • quodignoratum Myles Winstone (@quodignoratum) reported from Warrington, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Definitely. We struggle getting Freeview and as you’re not on BT TV I’m missing my fix!

    @talkRADIO Would be great if all of uk could Tune in on freeview. Rather than Lbc, which has gone down hill Of late

  • Bohemoth Bohemoth (@Bohemoth) reported

    @AnasSarwar If the TV licence was abolished and replaced with paid ads, the option to subscribe would be there and the elderly could simply have freeview. NO TV LICENCE and you could concentrate on real issues. This is like NO. 1050 on the list of things needing addressed. Get SNP OUT!

  • whiplashgrace Grace Rutherford (@whiplashgrace) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Never use freeview

  • maisiethetortie Maisie the Tortie / Margaret- NHS stay home 💙 (@maisiethetortie) reported

    @yvonnemurphy53 Never had Sky just make do with Freeview and Netflix that’s an awful lot to be paying!

  • madcow42 Sarah 🌼 & Jasper 🐾 (@madcow42) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Only option for us is Sky unless I want a streaming service like Netflix or Amazon Prime but then a need decent broadband to too. Found Freesat wasn’t much better than freeview and Virgin isn’t installed by me so not an option

  • GaryinScotland Gary Cummins (@GaryinScotland) reported

    @Samsmilew @RonMooreMoreRon Hello Samantha. Freeview channels are all that many receive. In 2021 the BBC chose to show the same program about the DofE across all its national TV and radio stations. Folk never had the option of switching over to another BBC channel.

  • KarenHu04464593 Karen Hudson (@KarenHu04464593) reported

    @FinancialReview @FreeviewAU Freeview is not working properly menu wont go away, still just loads and loads I have had to switch over to Telstra Box just to watch tv. Thanks for that

  • DaggerYorkshire C&B⚔ (@DaggerYorkshire) reported

    @ch55648479 @MadRuberto_49 @BBCNews We're talking about the BBC. I pay to use the service and it didn't deliver for me. I'm unsure why Freeview is coming in to it.

  • allhailtwit Allan Hailstone (@allhailtwit) reported

    @MoneySavingExp I switched from Virgin because of constant problems, including failure to collect my direct debit. Am now with Freeview which is great value for money!

  • itsjoelstweets Joel’s NEW ACCOUNT (@itsjoelstweets) reported

    @Lapsedcat Yeah, BBC2 never did a ten minute freeview or anything. See also, Pan’s People, Carry On films, Confessions films. It was worse for the Victorians, getting all hot under the collar over a piano leg.
