  • 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.

  • Bermudgirl Marilyn McCubbin (@Bermudgirl) reported from Netley, England

  • soniarussell195 Sonia Russell (@soniarussell195) reported

    @All4 I'd be grateful if you could help with this query please. Our tv set doesn't support freeview so we watch on All4. Could you tell me how soon after a programme has been shown live is it available on demand? We don't want to be missing the Super League match tomorrow.

  • elear48 LesleyR. 🌎🌸🇪🇺 (@elear48) reported

    @christop_hall @virginmedia Yes. Had Virgin cable TV for a number of years and enjoyed it but costs kept rising. When I reduced services the cost went up! So decided to cancel and just do Freeview. Then the real "leaving problems" began. Nightmare. Never regretted going though and Freeview is fine.

  • Stardiag Star Diag (@Stardiag) reported

    @beverleyturner @virginmedia Its a crap service anyway. Switch to BT or freeview.

  • feetsby Colin Troy 🇺🇦 (@feetsby) reported

    @NMBCo @hardistymark Pretty sure East Midlands Today is a standard definition signal slapped into an HD channel. Just got freeview to save money, back to the ol’ ‘High Def not available in your area’ message. If we want to see our news broadcasters in high def, we have to see them down the pub.

  • Dianne1963 Mrs B 🧡🖤 (@Dianne1963) reported

    @TPTVEncore @TalkingPicsTV My Freeview CH82 Red Button doesn't work 🙄 but the TV isn't that old and is updated regularly, any clues as to what systems it should work on, please?

  • birthofthetrue Maria S / @birthofthetrue@kolektiva.social (@birthofthetrue) reported

    @CymraegDoctor @S4C It wd be good if could choose subtitles in Welsh on S4C on iplayer, wd help lots to be able to read along, but doesn't seem to be an option as viewer in England? (Used to pick up s4c on old terrestrial telly, but not now on digital/freeview)

  • RobSmit12639238 Tech Man (@RobSmit12639238) reported

    @ItsAndyRyan @MarinaPurkiss @JeremyVineOn5 Never mind the fact how many ppl have Landlines these days.. Thankfully I dumped freeview TV & licemce in 2015. "Wright Stuff" yrs before that. Vine got dumped in 2014 with his "Radio for Dummies" R2 show. Thankfully Ken Bruce has finally left R2..

  • Paulsmccann Paul (@Paulsmccann) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Went to get my daughter @SkyUK basic means tested broadband, the guy said he never heard of it tried to give us allsorts of tv/bb deals. She ended up being conned into getting sky q only with freeview and basic bb for £25 a month. Even discounted 1st bill.

    @KaylaChowShow Never used a dish, why would I with all the Freeview channels

  • ronniet240 Ronnie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 (@ronniet240) reported

    Has anyone else noticed how many times you have too retune FreeView? I’ve seen any difference in programs of which they conveniently make a statement off say You may not see any difference. So my question is what are they either uploading or down loading???
