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!

Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, EnglandLooking 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.

🐺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…

tom burning (@BurningT_) reportedi hope TNA pulls back somehow, also hope they put their foot down about this WWE partnership, be it gaining something from them or just cutting the tie entirely TNA has a special place in my heart since i wasnt able to watch wwe without sky sports and they were on freeview 😔
-
Priyamvada Gopal © (@PriyamvadaGopal) reported@TimFost2561 So if you cancel the license, you also can't access other freeview stuff, or am I completely off-base there?
-
Presley Turberville (@T21949Presley) reported@ATRightMovies Probably some mundane **** on Freeview.
-
Matthew (@PaganOnTour) reported@AndrewBrazier1 They are ending freeview signal in few years blaming it on 5G attention & focus but they then will use iplayer only and u will pay to sign in like u do with all the rest now, itv will move to pay sign in but this will change the quality and content of what tv they will make 2030

Doorbundle (@Doorbundle) reported@FreeviewAdvice Hi, for the last four days my Freeview TV reception has varied between NO SIGNAL and something of a picture on all channels but with massive pixelation and choppy sound, I currently have no signal. My postcode is WR8 0SJ I am on the Malvern transmitter.

Brinscall, Withnell and I (@WarriorBlood121) reported@DavidLloydRADIO I sometimes flick from one BBC radio station to the other on TV's Freeview service and the same pop tune will often be playing at the same time in 3 places. Penny pinching banality. The opposite of what BBC local radio used to stand for.
-
Ben Johnson (@BenJohn45874515) reported@virginmedia why is the sound so terrible tonight? I've been trying to watch Father Brown on U&Drama but it sounds like I'm watching underwater. If I switch over to Freely or Freeview then the sound is fine.

Cristian Tiplea (@CristianTiplea1) reported@freesatadvice I don’t get any epg . I’m using TV’s satellite tunner directly, it’s connected to the internet but the freeview play never updates the epg. Any advice?
-
Rational Villan (@RationalVillan) reported@_Tobolos_ It’s already taken seriously. Get it back on freeview and **** VAR off. 👍

David (@Disc_light) reported@kenton1206 I must be the only person on the planet that doesn't have any subscription TV service and only have freeview!
