  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

  • kirstxxiv kirstylouise (@kirstxxiv) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

  • JoyAnneGarner Joy Garner (@JoyAnneGarner) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Anyone else having issues with Freeview etc today? ST6 area ?

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Werrington, England

    Warning, stupid question incoming, does a Freeview tele just simply plug into an old skool aerial?? My mum wants a new TV but doesn’t have cable. I’m assuming so? I’ve had cable since the early 90s so haven’t had to faff on with aerials for 30 odd years !!!

  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

    Love that @TalkingPicsTV now has Encore on the red button on Freeview, but the ratio is all wrong. Happy to watch in 4:3 if made that way but everything is in it, making some images stretched upwards. Please fix!

  • ladderack Jenny (@ladderack) reported

    No channel 83? Do all the obvious checks retune still not working? @Freeview

  • mackin_john John Mackin (@mackin_john) reported

    @Murphthered1 I've not been paying attention - whats been cancelled? I never watch terrestrial telly anyway. And don't have Sky or Freeview etc.

  • JohnMac92158577 John Macleod (@JohnMac92158577) reported

    I hope I'll still have a tv service to watch once I'm with BT as I think they assume I have freeview when in fact I get tv from freesat through a satellite dish and current broadband provider I swear to god I spoke to someone today who wasn't sure what's in my new order with bt

  • htwcentral Historical Television Website (@htwcentral) reported

    That's all I could spot this evening on Freeview though there could have been other message(s) shown earlier which I never saw. No doubt some TV presentation sites/forums will have a comprehensive guide to what was shown/not shown tonight. 15/

  • Toasty83 Dean (@Toasty83) reported

    @GregScottTV Uktv still broadcasting with a caption to turn over to bbc news earlier. Some Shopping channels down, Sky could have closed sky arts or pick on freeview with sky news in its place, They didn't, Showcase though are but it'd pay tv.

  • chefpwaring Phil Waring🔪🦁 (@chefpwaring) reported

    They better not cancel ******* @TVsPointless for this. BBC news is on Freeview for **** sake. 😡

  • brianmcghee1 Brian Mcghee (@brianmcghee1) reported

    @62Sauzee @Record_Sport We tried SPFL tv when we had to rely on people having sky dishes, cable or freeview which was much more expensive. Now in the days of fibre broadband that problem doesn’t exist anyone can live stream you just need the equipment which we already have

  • agameganon King of Megcenae (@agameganon) reported

    QEII dying means there is nothing on regular freeview television so I’m exploring channels I never frequent and I’ve just landed on The Osbournes Want To Believe which might be my new favourite program

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie 🇺🇦 (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @a516digital Was wondering if it might be quietly forgotten. There are no plans to include BBC News though in theory it could probably be squeeze in as well. Must say though finding the Freeview HD signal far less reliable now than it used to be.
