    @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

  • KevyCanavan kevycanavan (@KevyCanavan) reported

    There’s a wee freeview Telly app on my playstation with all these made up channels. One of them plays most haunted all day on a loop, and does anyone know how to cancel sky?

  • EmmaStitt59 Emma Stitt (@EmmaStitt59) reported

    @HelloSanctuary no TV input on sky or Freeview. Contractor for this came this morning. Can't get into the AV equipment cupboard. Can't get through to sky. Utterly shambolic way to treat Tennant's. Who runs a business like this??

  • FacileTalk daz boot (@FacileTalk) reported

    Paramount Network @ 9 Freeview Ch32 The Running Man Go on, get some Arnie down yer. #TellyChat

  • GYPTXVN brown boy 🤎𓂀 (@GYPTXVN) reported

    Does anyone have a freeview tv and can help me with scanning for channels, not sure why mines is not working ??

  • Old_Smudger Martyn (@Old_Smudger) reported

    @Richard_K_P @OldBlueyes @virginmedia That’s unfair quoting facts people 😜 I had the TV outage. It was during the day and could easily use Freeview until it came back. WiFi was fine. Since VM/O2 merger I’ve had my mobile data doubled and broadband increased to 350 from 200 - for free! Roaming announcement also 👍👍

  • BurleyNeo And Beans (@BurleyNeo) reported

    @PeterBoneUK @DefundBBC Would like a choice to pay for it or not as the BBC is not a critical service. Currently I pay it to watch other Freeview channels the BBC does not interest me but I have no choice. I have to pay them to watch channels that have adverts. Does not feel right at all.

  • Emily23355 Emily♥️ (@Emily23355) reported
