Grumpy Stan.๐ผ ๐ฌ๐ง๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ป (@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!

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.

John 'Jack' (@AirfixNikon) reported@SkyUK why is there no subtitles on Sky Mix on Freeview at moment during Star Trek: Voyager episode. Your IT guys sleeping on the job or awake and trying to fix it? #startrekvoyager #skymix #Freeview

LostInFilms๐ฌ (@Lost_In_Films_) reported@Hi_De_Helen Apparently it's going to get worse all down to Sky but how does that include Freeview losing them too ๐ค All I could find out from Google search piece about it in Sun today.
-
Kier Jong Un (@StickToFact) reported@loobylambchop @GBNEWS Then youโll have no TV at all. All other TV services, freeview, Sky or Virgin need a licence as they broadcast live TV. Amazon Prime doesnโt, it would only do that if you installed and used the iPlayer app, which also requires a separate login.

Judith Nicholson (@JudeNicho) reported@cyclingontnt When are the highlight programmes available on HBO Max? I see them on freeview on DMAX at 7pm, but never available on HBO Max other than a 10 min compilation?It's not possible to get the DMAX show on catch up so it's quite poor compared to before moving to HBO.
-
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.

neosalad (@neosalad) reported@JudeNicho @cyclingontnt This... I struggle to watch it in Freeview as the sd pic is awful. Discovery+ seems to have deleted my free account so I could watch the b highlights of giro etc on dmax/quest they had (in HD) And they'll wonder why viewership will rank this year.. ๐คท๐ป

Mart Smith (@Mart_Smith) reported@InfiniRunner @thesimpsonRFC Football commentary is never online, as it says, due to licensing restrictions. Only radio or freeview for free, or paid something's through the clubs follow/in house media.

Tony Carrick (@tceesanfran) reported@jamosameo @cordbusters I agree the interface is awful for recording It's as if they only added the Freeview recording facility at the last moment in development... Was looking forward to this device for months but returned mine to Richer Sounds within the returns period
