    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.

  • Barfette Barfette (@Barfette) reported

    @MartinSLewis Well speaking as someone who has JUST terrestrial tv they are all pretty bad, I tend to watch Freeview and Channel Five more often.

  • swinksnz Logan Swinkels 🎙🏒🎮 (@swinksnz) reported

    @AndrewP32596916 @ESPNAusNZ Otherwise, the game is also on Māori TV. I don’t have Freeview, so the ESPN app using a Sky Go login is the only way.

  • John_R_Cochrane John Cochrane (@John_R_Cochrane) reported

    Just asking. How come there is no 9pm news on any Freeview channel? 9pm used to be the main news of the day. The nearest that I can find is BBC "The Context". WTF? I may be getting old but why would I be interested in watching something called "The Context"?

  • RTWRich RtwRich 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@RTWRich) reported

    @mediaguardian If I were working @Channel4 I'd be plotting a plan for entire workforce to walk out en masse, set up a new, non profit, charitable foundation trust, then obtain digital licenses for a reborn Network 4 (eg taking over the Freeview/public slot used by failing local city stations).

  • Juliac74868290 Juliac (@Juliac74868290) reported

    @FreeviewTV no TV for 24 hrs with Freeview,are there problems

  • liamdilley Liam Dilley (@liamdilley) reported

    @drmichaelhooper There used to be the freeview app to watch live tv but all the companies wanted their own apps. They started with no sign in, then facebook, then removing that to capture more.

  • personal_acc_pm A voice in the crowd (@personal_acc_pm) reported

    @BBCOne I have no problem paying for a TV license, when variety is available. Not everyone like the same thing. But all you put on recently is sport! If you are going to do that, create a BBC Sport channel on iplayer, or another freeview channel.
