    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.

    Mum's NCIS marathon inspired me a little. Castle has been repeating on Freeview. And I damn well LOVED that show. For the first five seasons. After which, it sucked.

  • JStewart_15 Josh Stewart (@JStewart_15) reported

    @Katht2711 Have you got an aerial plugged in? I do as when broadband goes down freeview will still work

  • stephenfarrow Stephen Farrow 🇪🇺 (@stephenfarrow) reported

    @wtb6chiny @rbripley The last time I saw it was a few months ago, on one of the more downmarket movie channels on freeview. They had the magnificent bad taste to cut to a commercial break *right* in the middle of the earthquake.

  • Raxor1Robin Robin Taylor (At home 🏡) (@Raxor1Robin) reported

    My #freeview is not working right the NW Granada transmission tower 🗼 seems to be kaput on a lot of the channels, #ohdear

  • AdamBede3 Adam Bede (@AdamBede3) reported

    @dawneva3 @TalkingPicsTV I looked it up it is channel 81 on Freeview and I scan the the channels and it wasn't there, I wonder if anyone elsse has had trouble? There was a 60's film on the other day I wanted to see.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi Lisa. I definitely have a TCL television however when I go to use Freeview Play or one of the Freeview Play apps I'm prompted to accept terms and conditions that never appear. How can I check if my specific TV should have Freeview Play working.

  • Carti_Mandua LadyAnniSpice... #IStandWithIsrael 🔯🕎✡️🇮🇱 (@Carti_Mandua) reported

    @TonyH091963 @BraidmanNathan @DavidBr65161102 I watch all the holocast footage etc on Freeview - Yesterday/Smithsonian and PBS America .... the Germans kept such good records and footage as they were so proud of what they did ....never ever though their 1000 year Reich would end ....their records helped convict them ....

  • Viking_Sarah_1 Sarah the Crazy (@Viking_Sarah_1) reported

    @finchoid Joking aside, two of my mates are functioning ****** addicts. After beers once I chased the dragon with them. You know where you inhale the fumes? It was ****! They were out of it, I was looking for something to watch on Freeview. I was actually quite disappointed.
