  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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🎅🤶🌲

    @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 .???

  • GaryinScotland Gary Cummins (@GaryinScotland) reported

    @Samsmilew @RonMooreMoreRon Hello Samantha. Freeview channels are all that many receive. In 2021 the BBC chose to show the same program about the DofE across all its national TV and radio stations. Folk never had the option of switching over to another BBC channel.

  • liarpoliticians Liarpoliticians, UK has rogue Parliament+police (@liarpoliticians) reported

    @sunshineboy567 @talkRADIO Maybe the show we wanted to watch was on BBC1 / 2 / Four, and not the other hundred **** freeview channels?

  • danielago danielago (@danielago) reported

    @KarenHu04464593 @FreeviewAU @FinancialReview Did you get a solution Karen? The purple Freeview menu won't disappear from my TV when on channel 9 and some other channels, everytime I exit the app it comes back later on its own accord.

  • 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

  • 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 !

  • mtaylorart1 Martin Taylor (@mtaylorart1) reported

    @JANUSZCZAK @beeple Couldn’t get to watch your film on Michaelangelo. Any tips on how I can? Went through all the process on Freeview but it said it wasn’t available? Help. Martin

  • MrJBeardy31 James Beard 🇬🇧🇮🇪 (@MrJBeardy31) reported

    @talkRADIO BBC is shite anyway. With Netflix, prime tv and other freeview channels who has time to watch the garbage they put out.

  • NotForMeThanksX 💚🌷olvpolv🌷💚 (@NotForMeThanksX) reported

    @theJeremyVine What kind of pathetic human beings complain that they don’t like the P/Philip coverage where there’s 472 other bloody freeview channels to watch? Ppl are truly stupid at times. Grow up. One moment in time & they complain. Go for a walk or do something else you slovenly idiots

    @mattohare @UKTVPlay @UKTVPlayHelp Hi, UKTV Play is a catch-up TV app. Freeview is a through aerial service. Freeview doesn't block apps from other parts of the UK. Thanks C
