  • 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.

    @back_the_BBC @tonys121212 @scottygb Since the BBC is **** scared of losing its guaranteed, privileged fuding model, it would say that about subscription because it doesn't want it. Greg **** admitted in the early 2000s he pushed for Freeview because it would make it more difficult to scrap the LF and introduce subs

  • AnneCardwell4 Anne Cardwell (@AnneCardwell4) reported

    @UKtodayUK I am absolutely disgusted that for months now I've had problems with Freeview. Time it was sorted out ASAP. Trying to watch a film, on, off. Think we should get some compensation from the TV licence.

  • mag_outer OLM-OuterLimitsMag2023 (@mag_outer) reported

    @bbcburnsy sounds like the lads heads are remaining positive, even though 0-1 down. Unlike previous gamez... Come on lads you can do this. ( listening on freeview and sound cuts out occasionally).

  • Beeeezebub Blub (@Beeeezebub) reported

    @RandyMack88 @AlexLloyd1 @BBCNews Your tweet made it sound like you thought it was just those specific things and that you didn't need a licence for things like freeview (when you do) just a tweet interpretation issue happens all the time on this bird app

  • DougMcfarlane59 Douglas Mcfarlane (@DougMcfarlane59) reported

    I actually like this Renault unit. Comfy, great night heater, DAB radio, small Samsung TV with working Freeview (more channels than my home TV) fridge, microwave only thing I don't like is the windows in the door panel for seeing cyclist the curtains don't drop that far down

  • iadmcintyre Iain McIntyre (@iadmcintyre) reported

    @c4 why are your times out by an hour? I sat down to watch the Grand Prix at 11:30. Got some chat show instead. Checked online and the whole schedule on Freeview is an hour slow. At least I haven't missed the GP.

  • SophieFul14 Sophie (@SophieFul14) reported

    @fiery_mahogal @UlsterRugby If your tv has saorview it will work on the 800 numbers. Never works on normal freeview.

  • SkyHelpTeam Sky Help Team (@SkyHelpTeam) reported

    @elovabloke Hey Jeff 👋 You can plug an Aerial into the back to gain access to freeview when the internet is down, or plug a device into it through the HDMI slots to use. Thanks, Ross.

  • DJGaryBaldy DJGaryBaldy (@DJGaryBaldy) reported

    @UKTVPlay I seem to have narrowed down the problem of series links not moving onto the next episode. It's only when I dial up a program from the Freeview play listings If I watch an episode direct on the app it plays the next episode just fine. #freeviewPlay error.

  • InspectorMorose Inspector Morose 小麦 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇨🇳🇺🇦 (@InspectorMorose) reported

    @jenbren1976 Nope. I’m on Freeview, and had no problems. I noticed C4 News wasn’t live-streaming though, at 7-8pm
