    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    If we're in lock down for another 3 weeks, I really feel the #sonyChristmasChannel should be put back on #freeview...Will keep people in the house ( okay, it'll easily keep me in the house🎅🤶🌲

    @HitachiEurope @COP26 Hello, I bought a Hitachi 58 Inch 58HK6100UB Smart 4K UHD HDR Freeview TV but I cannot pair the BT remote with the TV. I tried the codes 2424, 1739 but it does not work. Where can I get help? Thanks!

  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    This is not good. Freeview signal has disintegrated in the middle of In the night garden 😱

  • the_FLT Fergus Llewelyn Turtle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@the_FLT) reported

    The big exception of course is big sports but that's a little different to normal programming. Even there, cricket viewing has dwindled from lack of major (and Freeview) network coverage.

    @simonnread I've struck lucky today, normally Talking Pics pixelates. Will record and watch later. Ever since they tinkered with Freeview the signal has been appalling. Laurel & Hardy still funny to this day.

  • B260Eb EB B260 (@B260Eb) reported

    @AnnSkelly3 Don't go for Virgin, it's awful. The woman I work for was with sky and paying a fortune. One of the other staff recommended virgin, think it was because she got £50 for recommending it. All freeview channels are now gone. So called Free virgin channels are terrible

  • ResineYT LEAVE ME ALONE IM CRYING SOOOO HARD!!! (@ResineYT) reported

    **** Alki David for Using Freeview TV Areals!!!!! #FuckFilmonTV

    @TalkingPicsTV just to let you know there’s no signal in North Wales on Freeview for your channel. Noticed it at around 10pm.

  • thomasforth Tom Forth (@thomasforth) reported

    Really happy about joining "team @duncanrobinson" on so-called freeview. aka TV, without the internet. Cuts down latency to approx. 1 second versus "live". Available, amazingly for such an antique technology in "H.D." too. But, why is there no Newsmax? How am I to inform myself?

    @MaryHerdman @Nigel_Farage you will be glad you have freeview it will be shutting down in a few months time .its just a mouth piece for UKIP ETC thats why farage is on it they must be desperate
