    @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

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

    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 😂

    @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.

    @FreeviewAdvice hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

    @PBSAmerica just watching @DrJaninaRamirez on the Freeview play catch up service. I have noticed however, that the commercials are all in the wrong places, halfway through a sentence and on a couple of occasions halfway through a word. Any chance of looking at this? Thanks.

    @Gaz_THFC @rnossej If you are in a contract say you want to cancel they will say you will have to pay an exit fee. Say you want to switch to freeview service (£15 a month ) and say you can’t afford to pay for it they should give a £10 discount for £5. Cheaper than the exit fee - that’s what I did

    Ah, good old Freeview. I'm only just back from my elderly mother's and she rings me to say she can't watch TV because it says that the channels have to be retuned. She can't do it herself so I'll have to go back and do it. It's a stupid system isn't it?

    @micronautsFan @NoContextBrits To be fair up until about 20 years ago (roughly) we had 5 whole channels haha. When satellite TV came in then Freeview as I am sure you know, it all changed but we never had the US style 200+ cable channels until quite late on.

    @AlanJohnson1959 @LeeHurstComic Its awful. I only watch the food network on freeview, other than i only use prime for shows/movies as living in a rural place it saves me a fortune on fuel for deliveries

    @BrokenTV @UKPRES1 @TalkingPicsTV Haha, funny you should say that, I'm unfortunate enough to have terrible Freeview reception and Sky Glass, neither of which will get me Talking Pictures, sadly.
