    @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🎅🤶🌲

    @FreeviewAdvice Cont pt2 - guides never had both London & local (BBC & ITV) this only started about 10 days ago when my BTYOUVIEW box had an update. BT say Freeview are responsible.

  • peter_melvyn Peter Melvyn714 (@peter_melvyn) reported

    The Freeview TV Guide ; who are the pig ignorant uneducated slobs who write this garbage, too many spelling mistakes, too many grammatical errors and incredibly inaccurate facts, for example, 25,000 miles of trenches in WW1, there were less than 1,000 in fact, plus lots more

    @SourceproDesign @ukiswitheu B) You need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch live TV on any channel or TV service - such as ITV Hub, All 4, YouTube, Sky, Virgin, BT, Freeview, Amazon Prime Video, Now TV - on any device

  • Gargarin BLTP (@Gargarin) reported

    The show biz news in place of actual news on Freeview channels is a nonsense, can't believe regulators really think it meets anyone's public service quota

  • MissACS1984 ☆ Amanda 🐼 (@MissACS1984) reported

    @Discovery Don't know if you can help but i'm in the UK & all of a sudden cannot get any of your channels on freeview. Quest, Food Network etc. It just says channel no longer exists. Tried updating channels, scanning for channels etc to no avail. Can you advise?

  • artefactual_KW Katy Whitaker (she/her) (@artefactual_KW) reported

    Pretty terrible bit of Sherlockiana on freeview 68 just now @LadyLiminal1 !

  • loonylaura Laura Cox (@loonylaura) reported

    @Robynnnnnnnn @Lauzzadoll1 I'd seen her name in the listings on my Freeview box, but never her picture or anything. I like her, though.

  • retrofan1980 Mark Boreham (@retrofan1980) reported

    Considering ditching Freeview and moving to Freesat. I live in an area where we only get about 70% of channels whilst 20 miles away I'd get the full service. Also at times the Freeview signal is getting bad.

  • MrWarrenTweets Charlie Warren (@MrWarrenTweets) reported

    It's not even prime time on a major network, it's some Freeview channel nobody has heard of that isn't even available in my area. Cringe.
