    @LewisHamilton @SilverstoneExp That may be the case Lewis. If you really want to inspire the next generation. F1 needs to be on Freeview. It willl never happen though.

    You don’t realise how awful freeview is until your waiting for the sky man to come to your house 🥴

  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

  • niksibley Nik Sibley (@niksibley) reported from Coventry, England

    Any ideas why MiL’s @HisenseUK @Roku TV sometimes puts itself onto the Freeview Play page whilst watching her Sky Q box? Even did it to me as I was navigation TV settings. Maybe TV or remote control issues? Hopefully unplugging/replugging will simply be enough to fix it…

    @FreeviewAdvice My Freeview channels were broken up so I tried to retune, and only South TV channels came up & only BBC1, BBC2, BBC4 and the children's BBC channels. So I tried retuning again and I can find not ONE single channel. Please help me. Thanks

  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

    Dear @Channel4 please can you add live streaming to your 4OD service. My Freeview signal is shocking and I'm missing Bake off and this is very distressing

  • storey966 Tynmar (@storey966) reported

    @Bert1897 @J0hn8ev @MikeKeegan_DM ******* you're stupid. If they stop the TV licence, how do you think they'll fund the BBC & the freeview platform? We'll just start paying for it through taxation.

  • ColinMichaelHo2 Colin Michael Hodge (@ColinMichaelHo2) reported

    @AshtonRae4 ooh Ashton i had trouble on Freeview last night OMG i missed you i got Michelle solo for a little while, but i live remote and affects my reception in hot or stormy weather you look amazing babe right there lol xx

  • Irr_Orbit Andrew S.🇪🇺💙#FBPE (@Irr_Orbit) reported

    Can anyone explain to me the point of #ITV4+1 on #Freeview? It never seems to broadcast. Just a waste of bandwidth. #ITV

  • DawsePaws dawse (@DawsePaws) reported

    12 years on I'm pretty stoked to complete my Breaking Bad universe trilogy viewing tonight with the Better Call Saul finale. Blows my mind to think how long it's all been. I still remember catching the first promo on Freeview 5USA and saying "well that looks fun" to Mrs D.

  • InnovateFor Innovate for Growth (@InnovateFor) reported

    Finally, check streaming services. Freevee. The best free streaming service overall Peacock. Pluto TV. Roku Channel. Tubi. ... Crackle. ... Vudu. ... Sling Free. Negotiate a lower monthly cost or switch provider. Take advantage of freeview and freeway. Get those old DVDs out.

  • 2_Wheeled_Wolf @2_Wheeled_Wolf 🇪🇺 (@2_Wheeled_Wolf) reported

    @drewsnx oh look its another pile of **** spouted out on the bigoted TV channel. The channel that's been deleted from every freeview box & TV.

  • markvonrichards Marko Von Richards🤡 (@markvonrichards) reported

    Still find it horrendous that @bbcthree has HD on freeview to show Ru WTF Drag Race but a proper service like @BBCFOUR4 is demoted to SD and ready to be dropped? How many licence fee payers actually watch the shite they put out on @bbcthree

  • MolloyLaurence Laurence Molloy (@MolloyLaurence) reported

    Edinburgh tweeps: Has anyone been experiencing Freeview ITV & Ch4 issues since yesterday's rain shower? Our signal deteriorated the moment the heavens opened yesterday and it's still flaky today. I note no obvious issues on downdetector etc. (though issues were noted yesterday)

  • FranklinsSE22 Franklins (@FranklinsSE22) reported

    @MJowen174 Miserable *** You can get some pretty good indoor ones,I’ve got a signal booster and can can all the Freeview,no problem
