    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

    ... he was holding an old 4" battery b+w TV set with one channel and virtually unwatchable. He had lived that way for years.. Life hadn't been kind. It bugged me so I got online and ordered a sat dish and Freeview box that he could connect to a broken portable CD player he had...

    @a516digital But your right with your answers, tech questions, you hit a brick wall, or harry hill, whom i never asked for in the first place, if freeview think theyve answered my problem, well!

  • jennimcparland1 Jennifer McParland (@jennimcparland1) reported

    @TaraGrace_ I live in the north (in a city) and can’t even get many UK freeview channels because My service comes through a relay transmitter!

  • BenWPope Ben Pope (@BenWPope) reported

    You can have Netflix, Amazon Prime, BBC iPlayer, Apple TV+, Disney+, Hulu, HBO, Quibi, MUBI, All4, ITV Hub, Freeview, Sky, a hoard of DVDs, a VHS library, a crystal ball, a glass shard cursed by a witch, but if you want to watch a specific movie go **** yourself it’s nowhere

  • JenaNYC76 Jena Mihalovic (@JenaNYC76) reported

    @LGUKCare @zhriszowen Same issue and I read the freeview issue was corrected? But nothing appears?!?!

  • qslikely Quentin's Backdraft (@qslikely) reported

    @Clare_Dales @PeoplesPool Yes, on iPlayer. Called Dhan Uisge (To The Water). I'm never sure about which Freeview transmitter transmits what group of channels. On satellite , if its up there for the UK, you can get it. No effing govt flogging off little bits of it!

  • AliOnSafari64 David Alistair Rogan (@AliOnSafari64) reported

    @TVgroup_UK Hi, yesterday I had a KG55K2020UK delivered. After spending a long time tuning/setting it up, I have some channels showing as ‘data only’. Eg. Ch271 - Channelbox. Why am I unable to use this basic Freeview service on a brand new tv? (Aerial & Internet both connected).

  • LGUK LG UK (@LGUK) reported

    @Hamnett_Time ... to strive to support all UK catch-up services as soon as possible. Freeview Play will be on our 2021 models, which are launching over the next month or so :) (3/3)

    @MagicalOverload The TV licence. Freeview is crap.

  • DJEmz1990 JigglyEmz (@DJEmz1990) reported

    so until i can afford the upfront fees im pretty much stuck with virgin, but Sky have offered me ok speeds i think it did include basic freeview style tv which i wont use and phone but it has a 3 year price fix and is only a third of what im paying now
