Chris (@chris_sucksmith) reported from East Cowes, EnglandOne 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.

Efootball🏴 (@Efootballgame1) reported@ollocoll Bring in food stamps. No car, only able to watch freeview, no internet, family of 5 should only get a 3 bed house and use bunk beds. No holidays. No phone contracts. They get a government issue phone. We need to stop rewarding laziness. People with disabilities can have luxuries.

Bigwows 💚🤍💜 ✖️✖️🏴 (@bigwows) reported@cmairsy @virginmedia Zen for internet - rock solid and great customer service, not that you’ll need it. But after ditching Virgin we went down the freeview route, I’m afraid.
-
Enamel (@gin_vodka_fan) reportedCOMMENT: It needs an internet subscription, also an aerial for some progs, if your internet is slow you lose all progs, the manufacturers claim it's the internet problem so you cannot return the TV. It's a complete con for the companies to save supplying Freeview. 🤔🤔🤔

simon robinson (@lincs1simon) reported@DVDfever When my virginmedia cable gas gone down freeview is my plan b lol

Bridie Macmahon (@bbpmac) reported@BBCNews Well without freeview coverage most of us will never know.
-
Björn Fri (@bjornfri2020) reported@LeeHurstComic Me. They’re probably just all on a different streaming service, but no way am I signing up for another one, just for one show. Pretty sure it’ll be a lame as The Walking Dead from season 7 onwards. 11 is too many; the energy is gone. I’ll wait till the whole lot is on Freeview.

Gran (@BlackleyGran) reported@HisenseUK I bought a 55inch tv I had it for 23months all of a sudden I couldn’t get all freeview stations after 4 calls I was told it was my Ariel now I’m left with a heap of crap.

Melody Lane-Hayman (@ScepturaMelody) reportedThere is never enough space on X for me to write what I need to. I still haven’t forgiven u @virginmedia for axing Thatstv2 and Thatstv3 at least now it’s not even on the menu wasn’t nice when u kept it up on the guide showing me what was on. Those channels r on sky & freeview

Jay 🏴 (@jordanpbanks) reported@soupyferns This generation have never had to sit up waiting for the 10 minute freeview, and it shows.

IronWorks1990 (@IronWorks1990) reported@dskiuk2 @Danrocsky76 @cordbusters I went Paris last year and our tv where we stayed was through through aerial, 50 odd channels and every single one of the was HD. Freeview now is terrible in 2026, full of shovelware channels and hardly any HD channels, SD channels look awful as well.
