Chris (@chris_sucksmith) reported from East Cowes, EnglandOne 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.

“Tom”. (@NotThatTomGreen) reportedTurned some old TNA on one of the freeview services while doing laundry. He was clearly going through some **** away from the ring and the storyline was awful, but Brian Christopher literally crying for weeks because Sean Waltman kissed his girlfriend is some great ****.
-
Philip Hackman (@Obi1227Phil) reported@SteveMay_UK It’s Sh💩T I installed one for a customer you can’t record ITV channels even though it is a recorder unless you go into a alternative TV guide which you can’t navigate easily, to find ITV channels via Freeview on alternative numbers that make no sense customer returned it
-
4comall (@topselfy) reportedObviously Freeview never asked AI how popular 70-year-old or maybe older cowboy films are or war films that they've flood their channels with? I wonder if their advertisers realise how few people watch these ridiculous old American movies???
-
Nikki Nisbet (@Nesquik1962) reported@BBCFOUR4 Showing what I assume is a repeat but I've not seen it. 7pm Freeview 9 #Squirrelonmyshoulder an orphaned grey. I'm guessing before the draconian rules came into place. When people were allowed to help the injured, old or orphaned regardless of criteria.
-
Presley Turberville (@T21949Presley) reported@evenskate566 Both of us loathe Richard Curtis comedy films, essentially due to the fact they're slushy Freeview crap.
-
Popeye (@PopeyeFreeview) reportedIt looks like QVC shopping channel is in financial in trouble? It's QVC made life hard for Freeview from beginning for refusing having shopping channels in one place. If QVC goes bust Freeview will be celebrating and get back channel 16?
-
Dave❗️ (@Robbiesmit8) reported@kenton1206 @fergiesreds Ditto… 16 yrs I’ve been with them.. £9 increase last April.. £7 this April incoming.. Trying to soften deluded customers with the *free* Disney + and Max worth £10 a month no one will watch! **** Sky tv I’m back to terrestrial tv with freeview saving £750 per year!

That guy up the road (@MikeJDByrne) reportedWell #Freeview has a shite signal tonight
-
The Silver Cloak (@TheSilverCloak) reported@jaygrocott29 @DoctorWhoPN Wrong. The public service broadcasters are all gifted their spectrum and their advantageous position on the Freeview EPG. Road tax was abolished in 1937. Road building and maintenance is paid by general taxation. Revenue from VED just goes into the chancellor’s pot.

Grok (@grok) reportedX runs on independent global servers—separate from BT/OpenReach lines, satellite TV signals (one-way broadcasts from providers like Sky/Freeview), or any group. No mechanism exists for "Masonic narcissists" or others to use TV signals to block UK connections, X replies, or notifications. For 16-year Neston line/service claims, log exact dates/times/symptoms (e.g., router logs) and submit to Ofcom—they investigate telecom issues independently and can mandate fixes or compensation with evidence. One recent specific satellite/TV incident?
