  • 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

    @TalkingPicsTV @UKChristmasTV I wish it would come to Freeview Play as that would be cool of me sitting down to watch repeats of Budgie after the news on a Saturday night which would be every goodie’s treat

  • mitchMgant mr gant (@mitchMgant) reported

    Scammers and content stealers who swipe your pics and post your content on freeview sites and thats caused more to go down the post and go wont interact anymore on posts and thats a massive shame cause quite afew i found are nice people and sad to see they took this route but

  • ChristchrchMick Michael Dowling (@ChristchrchMick) reported

    @smurfing66 I believe that is the case, although the actual Freeview channel depends on which transmitter you get your TV signal from. The other thing is that Radio Solent broadcasts different matches on different frequencies / Freeview channels (Cherries, Saints, Pompey and Eastleigh)

  • effcee1969 Fiorenzo Cecere 🇮🇹 (@effcee1969) reported

    Can anyone help, please? I'm tempted to switch to BT TV which includes Freeview (with all terrestrial channels). Before I place an order, I'd need to check whether these terrestrial channels (and any other channels) provide subtitles via BT TV. Thanks! #BT #subtitles

  • BobbyLow_ BOBBY ⚒ (@BobbyLow_) reported

    @Chris29Cunningh Are you watching it on freeview?. Yeah it’s bad, but ok on sky or the app.

  • Somewhataldente Bryan (@Somewhataldente) reported

    @kennyboz67 I only have a Firestick, there's no Freeview TV signal here alas. I'll investigate though, ta.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @NYorksPolice This is obviously a hang over from the Bilsdale transmitter problems. As far as I am aware, Harrogate has good Freeview coverage now. If not from Bilsdale, then from one of two temporary relays set up by Arqiva.
