  • chris_sucksmith Chris (@chris_sucksmith) reported from East Cowes, England

    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.

    Is anybody else having trouble with Freeview tonight when you go to watch any channel other than the BBC channels???

  • Mik_Duffy Mik Duffy (@Mik_Duffy) reported

    @soapachu The fact that they're hogging valuable bandwidth on Freeview will never not infuriate me. In a saner world they'd not exist and Talking Pictures would have the budget and spectrum space to go HD.

  • willcooling Will Cooling (@willcooling) reported

    Stuck in a hotel with only freeview. Jesus Christ the questions as on Newsnight are insultingly stupid. Just pure horse race stuff rather than looking at the philosophical or practical arguments

  • sb00020 Sam Brett (@sb00020) reported

    @LGUK @Cynic1311 What a joke. So the 2019 and 2021 models support freeview play and all4, but the 2020s don’t. Congratulations on losing a customer and I’ll be sure not to recommend LG

  • stormcab stormcab (@stormcab) reported

    @Hrawli @cowell64807 I got rid of cable/satellite TV few years back. Was ridiculous paying £30 extra a month for what you get for free with Freeview. Sky wanted to put a dish in part of the building that would look horrible. I pay £32 a month for internet & a phone line rental.

  • thepeoplesmovie The People's Movies (@thepeoplesmovie) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Ive had no freeview channels for 6 days, just learned yester my building majority of the homes (15 floors) are the same, postcode PA2 no one seems to be able to help @RenCouncil

  • pizzaboy2021 Adam (@pizzaboy2021) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, looking to get freeview after cancelling sky with their overpriced service. I dont have outdoor ariel and loooking for indoor, cant understand how transmitter work and why NG2 would be Waltham but NG7 is Nottingham? NG2 to NG7 not too far off.

  • janner_geek Janner Geek - 3.5% #GTTO #FreePalestine 🇵🇸 🇬🇷 (@janner_geek) reported

    Did anyone else's Freeview box automatically record the "Prime Minister's" address earlier? I didn't ask for that **** to sully my telly box, thanks very much! #BorisMustGo #ToriesOut

  • AnneOfTheNemus Anne O'Nemus (@AnneOfTheNemus) reported

    @five15design @bauhausandmies 99% I watch is Freeview terrestrial. My internet is very poor so have to stream through mobile network on iphone. Limits me to something that does airplay I think. Last tv was 17 yrs old - not bad I think. What ovens you looking at?

  • Coolsambob Sam Cannon (@Coolsambob) reported

    The best thing about having my phone contract and home internet with @ThreeUK is that when it goes down in my area I get to sit in the dark with a cold cup of tea and watch Freeview.
