    @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

    @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.

  • 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!

  • myroelad Myroelad (@myroelad) reported

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

  • thesponguy Neal Robertson (@thesponguy) reported

    Is there a problem in KY14, Freeview not working @bt_uk

  • MrJBeardy31 James Beard 🇬🇧🇮🇪 (@MrJBeardy31) reported

    @talkRADIO BBC is shite anyway. With Netflix, prime tv and other freeview channels who has time to watch the garbage they put out.

  • BertieTheCat1 Bertie Cole (@BertieTheCat1) reported

    @ghost_wales We`ve got freeview and a TV licence and that`s enough. Humum discovered Sky was crap nearly 20 years ago, still thinks the same !

  • christhejani Chris Lincoln (@christhejani) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi I am getting no picture from Freeview on any channel just a message saying the receiver is not getting a signal or the signal is week

  • 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

  • 613Dogsbody Bob Janner 🇬🇧 (@613Dogsbody) reported

    @NeilfromScone @BritishAlba @MrHarryCole O dear. One day of being deprived of BBC content,you poor thing. Cant you get Sky news on freeview then. I haven't watched any BBC programmes for months because of their rubbish woke content, but no complaints line set up for that.

  • TrainTraveller5 Train Traveller (@TrainTraveller5) reported

    @gabyhinsliff I really don't get what the issue was. Everyone's got access to Freeview, there's 90 other channels to watch if, you don't want to watch coverage of something. It's less stressful to use your remote than complain. Not a Royalist just not that bothered.
