  • 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.

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • damoxl Damo (@damoxl) reported

    @Mark_P0x0n @LucyMPowell But I might want to watch something on freeview that requires adverts & a properly costed budget to fund (not BBC) So why should I pay for the BBC when their model is at best a tax on live TV of any sort? This is where the BBC falls down in the modern era, it's simply outdated

  • KaihatsuYT Kaihatsu (@KaihatsuYT) reported

    Personally, I'm not particularly bothered by it all. I've not had a particular interest in Pokémon for a while, but I never watched the anime much as a kid. I never saw it on TV in the UAE and it never seemed to be on Freeview in the UK on a regular schedule either.

  • danny___puppy Super Weenie (@danny___puppy) reported

    @BenRoddison @mashcore4mums @kianworld Pokemon TV is a free service and Pop is a freeview channel, so that REALLY helps keep the costs down with this list

  • WhispersAngel Rosie needs a new Hip, not a Jab Matthew (@WhispersAngel) reported

    What ******** is up with Freeview tonight?

  • 1Spookybooks Spookybooks (@1Spookybooks) reported

    @newt_kiters I guess when I get round to actually get sky, I won’t need a dish or a set-top box or anything. I’m assuming it will come straight through the TV through the Internet. The trouble is I don’t watch a lot of TV I’m usually listening to music or out walking. Only Freeview

  • UnknownDB64 Ben (@UnknownDB64) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi iv just brought a new tv it has freeview play iv plugged in a internal Aerial but it’s not finding any channel when doing a full retune please help thanks

  • TkoCymon Cymon Humphries (@TkoCymon) reported

    @GRALCreates @tvukzone Stop tweeting crap . It has an ofcom license is available on satellite & freeview so that’s your answer.

  • DawsonsLeftPeg Error404 (@DawsonsLeftPeg) reported

    @Elliot_CB @LeeAndersonMP_ No I pay for the things you don’t get with the “free service”. Like the sky compared to freeview. That fact you can’t figure that out shows the level you’re working with. Try harder.

    @FreeviewAdvice You seem to have blocked this account from contributing advice to Freeview users who have not been advised that Freeview is fundamentally flawed and they are being forced to pay for a service that can never be reliable. This may not end well...
