  • 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

  • 2013jamiepep James Pepperd (@2013jamiepep) reported from St Helens, England

    I don't have an ariel or freeview I rely on your piece of shit @virginmedia #VirginMedia

    @gary_worden @cjssydney @cptcapitalg @FrogAlaPeche Poor people either don't have a TV or watch freeview.

  • 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...😳

  • MaryMares81 mary whitfield (@MaryMares81) reported from Salford, England

    @FreeviewAdvice we have lost the majority of freeview channels having retuned a few times. Used the availability checker which says channels should be available, can you help? Thanks

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

  • NigelBareham Nigel Bareham (@NigelBareham) reported

    Why are the British people still paying for a TV License, when 98% tv showing are repeats, every day tv is full of the same programs, are the tv companies so thick or are we the people who pay for the same ****, Sky, Virgin, Freeview same **** just a different day

  • TheAndrewF Andrew F (@TheAndrewF) reported

    There's an old Benny Hill show on one of those cheapo Freeview channels. Obviously it's dodgy by today's standards, but more than that... it's just crap. So much for TV's golden age.

  • sugarcanebook E. E. Fry (@sugarcanebook) reported

    @virginmedia Also, losing all of our recorded programmes and movies yet again, unable to pre record any Xmas TV or movies, losing all of our favourites and our series links. FreeView and catch up have rendered the Tivo service sold to us as obsolete and we've not been offered any compensation

  • gazbill61 G D ‘Peng’ 🔥🔥😁 (@gazbill61) reported

    @virginmedia **** service, no television Fy3 7df(which I pay for!!), no communication, freeview here I come #notconnected

  • gunslingerx2011 Beastlordius (@gunslingerx2011) reported

    @TailedFeature I usually just put on their website that im not using freeview and thats about it. It's bit annoying to do it every year, but so far had no issues.

  • wildetrousers Gert Wildetrousers (@wildetrousers) reported

    @domjoly Les Dawson is always being repeated on Freeview. WTF is that victim on about? Benny Hill on every night at the moment

  • ChonjiGraham Graham Pitkin (@ChonjiGraham) reported

    @robbeckettcomic So not on Freeview? Can't. Oh well, never mind.
