  • 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.

  • GavNix Gavin Nixon☘️🌈 🇺🇦✊🏼#FBPPR #FBPE #SlavaUkraini (@GavNix) reported

    @Saraita101 Linear TV - and Radio, whether from an actual radio or Freeview on a TV - is vital for those easily marginalised, cut-off and lonely. I'm particularly thinking of people in care homes, folds and such-like. As no OO or Twelfth fan, I feel it's a bad decision from @BBCnireland .

  • Jim_Gardner_ Jim Gardner 🇺🇦 (@Jim_Gardner_) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @mrjamesob If the Gammon aren't careful, the only British values we'll have left will be brown sauce, calling Freeview "Normal Telly" and wrought iron silhouettes of a WW2 solider we're told to never forget, even though he died defending Europe, The Rule of Law, and Refugees.

  • AbuAqilah1 Abu Aqilah (@AbuAqilah1) reported

    @weathertoy @GBNEWS Only recently found this channel on Freeview. Is this actually a serious news channel? Why can this unqualified idiot rant on challenged?

  • kim_close kc (@kim_close) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice my freeview is displaying no signal on every channel and this is happening every night after 11pm until after 10am in the morning. Can you please help me with this?

  • andythelodge andy (@andythelodge) reported from Clifton, England

    @1doublehandful @RacingTV Thought it went off FREEVIEW last year Sent me a @amazon firestick which is nothing but trouble

  • mrsgaius Mary White (@mrsgaius) reported

    @PolygoniaSpec @Samanth22356123 Ah. The Freeview is so awful here, you can barely watch it. It's really noticeable with 'Who wants to be a Millionaire', where the TV is so fuzzy you cannot actually read the 4 answers.

  • Jayfuz Jayfuz (🗣️Rufus, but Jay) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Jayfuz) reported

    @ClwydEnComu They're available on a digital service I didn't know existed, and when I looked it up it does to be a Freeview box for people that don't know their TV has Freeview

  • ttyEngland M (@ttyEngland) reported

    @YardleyShooting @FRANCE24 GBNews has been the salvation of broadcast news, but still hard to get in many areas already saturated by BBC coverage. (Poor DAB reception & Freeview & just not offering it on local TV transmitters).

  • PaulTreacyLFC Paul Treacy. JFT97 (@PaulTreacyLFC) reported

    There seems to be a new Freeview channel springing up every month now. But it is just more of the same regurgitated stuff and with as many adverts (feat 30% white folk) as there is actual programmes. #Crap

  • FatScottie Fat Scottie 💙 (@FatScottie) reported

    @Jonesta1 @virginmedia Cheers Jo - we're already sorted! I'm just aghast at their attitude towards an elderly customer with 30 yrs unbroken loyal custom. We've got him a new Freeview TV, new aerial and he's absolutely chuffed. VM are arrogant enough to think that no one will cancel🙄
