    @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

    @CI5BDC The Professionals was a must-watch in my teens; imagine my delight when I found it was being shown on Freeview. Imagine my disappointment when I saw it was unwatchable crap.

  • Ajax62859643753 Welcome FM 101.3 (@Ajax62859643753) reported

    @LeilaniDowding Also the BBC are on Freeview and that is a free to view service. The BBC are pay to view. They SHOULD NOT BE ON FREEVIEW.

  • eastcoaststoat Ian Gray (@eastcoaststoat) reported

    @Janela_X Thinks it's moved the Ariel for Freeview so no signal

  • cordbusters Cord Busters UK (@cordbusters) reported

    So during the big Vodafone meltdown yesterday, we had no internet at all (not on my phone either, because it uses Vodafone's network as well). So I had to... watch Freeview with an aerial, to make sure the world did not come to an end. Raising a glass to Freeview today!

  • LJHAMMOND2 LJHAMMOND (@LJHAMMOND2) reported

    Up early this morning. Long walk to the station on day 67 of my driving ban. Heading to the British Library to research the website. No tv signal at all this morning. We had Freeview for a few days now that has gone. Engineer due on Monday.

  • Popeye87009747 Popeye (@Popeye87009747) reported

    The SBN Network, which broadcasts on Freeview channel 94, is scheduled to close on Wednesday, October 15, 2025. This closure is part of a series of changes to Freeview channels, which may require viewers to retune their televisions to update their channel lists. The announcement follows other recent channel adjustments, including the removal of several channels and the introduction of new services. Viewers are advised to check their devices and retune as necessary to continue accessing available channels.

  • ArghhTom Tom James (@ArghhTom) reported

    @gozzand @Jenny_1884 Because it costs money to keep the freeview service live. It, Channels 4 and 5 etc. already pay their share to keep Freeview running. If the BBC stops contributing they will have to pay more.

  • EnsignCheckov Dean Rowell (@EnsignCheckov) reported

    @janemerrow On Channel 42 on Freeview. b&w Season of 'The Avengers' starring Emma Peel.Some of these episodes I've never seen before. Reflecting the zany spirit of the mid-60s. A ventriloquist dummy that was a little scary? Perhaps some episodes were filtered out before a re-run?
