  • BertieTheCat1 Bertie Cole (@BertieTheCat1) reported

    @ghost_wales We`ve got freeview and a TV licence and that`s enough. Humum discovered Sky was crap nearly 20 years ago, still thinks the same !

  • paperdoll73 Marina Lindsay 💙🌊🎶🌳🇸🇪🇬🇧 (@paperdoll73) reported

    @AdrianEdmondson Not a streaming service, but Channel 81 on Freeview @TalkingPicsTV shows classic films and documentaries all day.

  • toaoan Maiden Auntie (@toaoan) reported

    @chronicjayne @ITV So frustrating, but I have seen a couple of people on here say they didn't have any problems watching on Freeview. I was on Sky, how about you?

  • PimlicoPlumbers Pimlico (@PimlicoPlumbers) reported

    Vaccination passport anyone? Just about to make the case for getting a system up and running before it's too late - live on @RTUKnews It seems this issue won't go away, so maybe it's time we just got on with it!!?? Sky 511 Freeview 113

  • amnothybrid Anne-Marie Bellerby (@amnothybrid) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Got tired of paying for a service we didn’t use. Bought a Freeview box and have never looked back

  • rottenplaice Rottenplaice (@rottenplaice) reported

    @higginsdavidw #cblive and most Irish broadcasting is so utterly terrible and worse value for money I simply don't watch or listen. I watch UK Freeview TV. Irish presenters are overpaid amateurs and frequently I find the female presenters overly focusing on "girlie" issues. It's embarrassing

  • Pinklady66 Snoopy (@Pinklady66) reported

    @Sarahca34957734 @virginmedia @virginmedia that is a very good question . Why cant was the #ChauvinTrial not shown live on your network ?? Why are the freeview channels not on .???

  • TheRoundhead42 John Harrison 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 (@TheRoundhead42) reported

    @Nettleshippy I don't know many people who only have four or five channels. In fact, I don't know any. Freeview has dozens. Licence payers don't get to dictate content; never have. It was one day. Making a formal complaint seems OTT

  • TheMrnortholt Nick W (@TheMrnortholt) reported

    @dwchappie Dave, nobody who has bought a TV since analogue was turned off hasn’t got Freeview and those watching on TVs from before then will have to have a box to convert the signal.

  • corfgar GarJam 🇬🇷 (@corfgar) reported

    @chiddyj @virginmedia Leave them then rejoin as a new customer later........ Freeview for a month then back to a deal you'd have no chance of getting as a customer.
