    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.

    @TavernHoyden I have freeview now But when I had Virgin - one of their old boxes I had had an ariel jackplug in it so whenever Virgin TV went down it would automatically switch to the freeview aerial - back then Virgin rarely went down though

    Is there anyone out there in London experiencing issues with their dtv signal while trying to watch #freeview channels especially @BBCOne has moved over to channel 800 on my tv.

  • TotallyBeans AVS1972 (@TotallyBeans) reported

    @364690 Did this last month and my God did they try it on. Now only have Essentials on cancel anytime/no contract and that's only because we have no tv aerial for freeview. Also bought firesticks so even the Sky Essentials will be binned off once got used to using apps on firestick!

  • padzer78 Patrick McCluskey (@padzer78) reported

    @BowesChay Why waste money on Netflix when one can enjoy Freeview or built in Roku TV when buying a new TV down in Tesco? And you get Clubcard points too!

  • MGilani57809 M C Gilani (@MGilani57809) reported

    IdealWorld TV selling junk on Freeview channel 51 and Sky UK 668 Someone should report this lot for lying live on air the stuff they say is sold out still appears on the website plus selling overpriced crappy watches absolutely terrible

  • Jura_sik Blammachinehead (@Jura_sik) reported

    @AmazonHelp hi. I have a fire tv with the latest firmware. It keeps going to a blank screen when watching freeview. I have already contacted you by phone to report this issue, with no result. On the help forums there is a number of people with the same issue.

  • BritishYusuf Yusuf (@BritishYusuf) reported

    @MediaBoyUK They will wind down satellite and cable from Sky and Virgin. Freesat is going the same way. Freeview doesn't seem to have a long term future either. That leave Freely.
