    @cefinroberts I've seen better garbage on Freeview channels, like Dave....

  • 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.

  • JasonBudd70 JasonBudd (@JasonBudd70) reported from Totton and Eling, England

    @thebedfordfox @DAZNBoxing Noticed this myself when paying,a little bit sly, but noticed was entering a monthly agreement on paying the £24.99,so made sure went in next morning to cancel ,DAZN then just leave you on the Freeview stuff..hopefully they realise this sly tactic next time pisses the public off

  • CWiddowfield_61 Chris Widdowfield (@CWiddowfield_61) reported

    I appear to have lost my #Freeview HD channels from #OliversMount here in #Scarborough. Anyone else have the same issues?

  • FplStatsdan Dan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@FplStatsdan) reported

    UK peeps: is there any way to watch ITV4 in HD if you only have Freeview? Relegating the match which actually matters for qualification to ITV4 is a poor move from ITV.

  • k4bladesagain cheekfulloftongue🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@k4bladesagain) reported

    @GBNfans Still not a great picture on my freeview. Don't know if it's their end or just a weak signal but needs to be HD. Something to go up against question time on Thursdays. More variety/presenters...its starting to get a bit "samey" all the time.

  • Geoff_NUFC GPM (@Geoff_NUFC) reported

    @JustCraggles @virginmedia @BlueYonder I had the same, went from paying £40 a month to nearly £70. Dropped the TV because its ****, I was on the basic TV which is pretty much freeview. Went to sky for TV and was going to take the sky broadband until they gave me a reduced price. Its worth complaining about.

  • Easy_As_He_Him Autist na h-Alba - Sexy Sexy Sigma (@Easy_As_He_Him) reported

    @e500v they should be on ITV and ITV4 and we should be on ITV2 but **** us and shove us into the darkness of the freeview channel list.

  • CilantroElPerro Ryan Richardson (@CilantroElPerro) reported

    @Ambraneri You would think so, but a cursory Google suggests ITV 4 HD doesn't exist on Freeview and my TV seems to agree. Really you'd think HD would just be the standard now. There's barely any point broadcasting football in SD it looks that bad.

  • kipper_manx Manx Kipper🇬🇧 (@kipper_manx) reported

    @ElaineKirk @another_jan @canadiancarol1 Yes, that is what I watch it on, if you have a smart TV there is possibly some way of doing it through Freeview or other catch up service? Unfortunately I don’t have a smart TV, just an old one that sat silently in a corner when I stopped watching tv in disgust years ago!

  • VinnieVonStarr1 Vinnie Von Starr (@VinnieVonStarr1) reported

    @mitsyarty In these days of on-demand TV who still watches adverts? We keep being told how hard done by anyone who isn't white is, maybe the advertisers think they are the only ones so poor they can only afford Freeview?

  • ronsmonkeys Ronny Dean-Stanton (@ronsmonkeys) reported

    Hi!i!i!i! Does anyone have an old #freesat box they’re not using? I can’t afford to pay #VirginMedia for what is effectively a freeview tv package. (Has to be free-SAT as my aerial is too old a crap for free-VIEW). Thank you.

  • lardychap Gareth Evans (@lardychap) reported

    @matsyendrasana I tried freeview but my aerial is too **** I can only pick up one channel on it
