    @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...😳

  • rainbow7uk rainbow7uk (@rainbow7uk) reported

    @DorsetCouple @desertcactus100 @BBCOne Watch UK freeview channel 66. Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN).

  • NoirMJ Matthew Black (@NoirMJ) reported

    Made the mistake of watching the WDF Darts World Championship on 'Quest' (12, Freeview). It's SO slow that one of the players had a hairline when the match started. Though, the action (if you can call it that) is still better that Paul Nicholson's commentary...

  • sjmawhinney Stephen Mawhinney (@sjmawhinney) reported

    @edmorrish @jonholmes1 @IanDunt I don't know how it would work but if you've paid the licence fee you should be able to access BBC TV shows however you want. Freeview, Sky, Virgin whatever. Youtube is a little more complicated but it's annoying BBC TV catch-up doesn't work properly on Sky.

  • muder1308 ModernTVGold (@muder1308) reported

    @Forces_TV @RadioTimes The time it debuted when W moved to the Freeview page on the 25-31 March 2022 issue. So it had to replace the defunct Fox channel on p5.

  • 3Legs4Wheels 3Legs4Wheels (@3Legs4Wheels) reported

    @alexstanger1993 @C4Sport The best/worst one was a Freeview retune that took ITV4 off terrestrial TV over here so people actually struggle to watch the TT

  • petesmith0905 pete smith (@petesmith0905) reported

    @jezzojezzo @GBNEWS Hi Jez..just out interest what platform are you watching this on. Is it Freeview, Virgin or Sky? Are you still getting the problem?

  • silly_old_sod Scarsey 🇺🇦 (@silly_old_sod) reported

    Anyone else having signal issues on Freeview with BBC1, BBC2 and ch8? Very pixelated #northlondon @FreeviewAdvice

  • ronniet240 Ronnie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 totally 🇬🇧 (@ronniet240) reported

    @toryman1979 We use to have Sky but realised we were paying to watch advertising when we could get for free on FreeView. No point paying twice for the same crap!

  • qvcuk QVC UK (@qvcuk) reported

    @avraam2000 Hi Maria, apologies for any disappointment. If your TV does not support HD content, you can still watch via your aerial (i.e. Freeview) as we will still be in SD for there. We also have online streaming available via the QVC app or using the desktop version of our website. Joe

  • Warzoid A Life Is A Life (@Warzoid) reported

    @Paul68958640 @netflix Same. The licence fee is still the best value subscription service in Britain - every freeview channel incl the BBC. Talking Pictures and Channel 4. Enjoyed Squid Game and Mindhunter (r.i.p.) but not enough to justify £6.99 I could be spending to see other shows elsewhere.
