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.

Grumpy Stan.🎼 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧 📻 (@grumpyoldstan) reported from Tamworth District, England@itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

🐺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…

David Cocker (@DaveCockerLeeds) reportedWales World Cup Qualifier on BBC TV tonight, not allowed to watch on BBC iPlayer as in France in our Motorhome so ‘Geo Blocked’ even though a TV Licence payer, our Belgian neighbour is allowed to watch it though on his Belgium TV Freeview WTF? #BBC @BBCSport
-
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.

GetGoodAlex (@getgoodalex) reported@Hack73 @Dan__CAFC @crewealexfc Only chance of him getting sacked is if he comes out in support of the match being on Freeview.
-
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?
