We are in a hotel room son only have Freeview. Going to watch Bridget Jones Diary on itv2 - I have my fingers crossed it's not too rude for the kids 🤣 (from what I remember, I think it's ok)

☘️NeelyFanTerry ☘️ (@NeelyFanForever) reported from Garforth, England@MaddFan1 Same thing happened to me a few years ago, I was quite happy watching @AJEnglish on Freeview and then suddenly it went on to freeview HD, which my box wasn't. My problem was finally solved when they started broadcasting live on Youtube.

Disabled Rebel (@DisabledRebel) reported@LeeVicarage @NewsMurray Yep from 2029 I think no more sky dish you can’t even order sky q now as a new customer it’s all gonna be sky stream , so if I can’t record anything anyway I’ll stick with Netflix and freeview
-
Bennyblanks 🇵🇸 🐺 (@jimbo1YNWA) reported@femalebodybuil6 On freeview tv they have 60s,70s, and 80s music channels and the 70s was by far the best and I like all those eras music? The current music scene howevee needs to be put down and a new sound should come forth. Its utter trash
-
OnTheSnaff1 (@TheSnaff1) reported@Bjarne147 It was included in the base Sky or Virgin package mate. So a subscription to Sky or Virgin needed to watch it at the rates they charge. It was never on Freeview as you claimed and it was never "free". Not sure why you are dying on this strange hill that it was free to watch.
-
Oldgit(Nervous Tick) (@MarianMunkacsi) reported@MatthewRimmer @MockTheWeek In Wales its Freeview channel 12, I believe Sky has a different channel down in the hundreds.
-
The moderately far right 🏴 (@freefromwoke) reported@GBPolitcs Why should I pay a tax for a service I choose not to use? If I choose Sky, TNT, Paramount, Disney, Netflix ect. I pay for it. The ones I don’t pay for (Freeview services) are funded by advertising. Frankly the public funding for C4 should be revoked too.

Popeye (@PopeyeFreeview) reportedIt looks like QVC shopping channel is in financial in trouble? It's QVC made life hard for Freeview from beginning for refusing having shopping channels in one place. If QVC goes bust Freeview will be celebrating and get back channel 16?

4comall (@topselfy) reportedThere is the most awful program with the most awful people on it called junk and disorderly on #Freeview. Who on earth pays for and schedules this crap?
-
Gary Richmond (@gaswold) reported@archivetvmus71 I adored The Rockford Files. Garner was superb. Can't understand why it never gets any repeats on any of the Freeview channels.
-
York_ish (@N4Y_54Y3R) reported@FreeviewAdvice Hi, is there an issue with the epg for Channel 4? Nothing appears in my epg after 6am on 20th Feb. There is also nothing on the freeview TV guide website after that time, thanks.

Myles Fitzpatrick (@mylesfitz) reported@readysetdrone I was really intrigued by the stitching issue you found closer to objects too. How possible is it to create a 360 video to YouTube with this drone? Where you can freeview rather than export a perspective.
