    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

    @ukJ0N @snicklin1 @GBNEWS I read late June a while ago. The test signal is up....Channel 236 on Freeview.

  • amandaglass_ Amanda (@amandaglass_) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I also don't have freeview, but I think the tv has freeview in it. Is it just as simple as taking the HDMI cable out the back of my current tv and into the back of my new one? Coz I can do that no problem. With tv off obviously

  • Dr_Jon John Michael Leslie (@Dr_Jon) reported

    @Theking06810787 @CountBinface I don't get this, it's never gone away on Freeview, just press the Text button on your TV's remote while on BBC1, BBC2 or BBCNews and you're good to go: Page ideas: 101 = News headlines 302 = Football Headlines 360 = F1 Headlines 400 = Weather

    @colinphoenix No problem Colin. Channel 96 on freeview I think. They show them in a morning around 10am 👍

  • racefaceec90 adam cunningham (@racefaceec90) reported

    @discoveryplus thank the gods this is subscription only,as i will never ever have to watch any of it on freeview. jesus christ can your bloody adverts too (every 5 mins or less it seems on just about all channels). i will never want to watch any of your programs.

  • TheVoicesMadeMe The Voices Made Me (@TheVoicesMadeMe) reported

    Thanks to the wonders of Freeview and miserable weather, today I discovered I'd never seen any of Fried Green Tomatoes. Ever. None of it was familiar. I'd somehow understood it as Tandy and Bates frying said fruits. Nothing about what did get cooked, why, or by whom.

  • EmilyKitv Emily Knight (@EmilyKitv) reported

    @YarnallKate @itvanglia @GMB Hello, I’ve looked into this. If you are watching on the ‘ plus one’ service you’ll get Meridian, of if you are watching on HD Freeview, also defaults to Meridian. Hope this helps 🤞

  • LeonBarrington Leon (@LeonBarrington) reported

    @putasinghonit Just pay £28 for WiFi. I got rid of my sky tv package (was £98) and just opted for £13 NOWTV (entertainment and movies), Netflix, D+, Prime etc as well as usual freeview channels. Never looked back

  • lukehar04175810 luke harding (@lukehar04175810) reported
