  • 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…

  • geovilla77 georgie green (@geovilla77) reported from Bromsgrove, England

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

  • genders_jason Jason Genders (@genders_jason) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @madaboutHolly @Lee_JM75 Who's watching this bad boy on Freeview channel 70 ,Horror, right now😁💩💩💩

  • 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.

    I thought i was going to get rag dolled up and down craigshill for a min there cos my tv doesnt work for freeview for the football cos ive no wifi yet 😭😭😭

  • AnnieGE2 AnnieGE2 (@AnnieGE2) reported

    @EmmaKennedy A tip if you're still finding itv2 signal dodgy on your Sky box, assuming the TV you're watching on has digital freeview built-in you can always switch to viewing itv2 on freeview, the signal source would be different. Need an aerial of course & a (re)tuned TV, & select DTV input

  • AceMan69905395 A very average ordinary guy (@AceMan69905395) reported

    @BBCSport Sorry BBC but I think your coverage this year has been poor compared with previous years. The red button is a waste of time, what's happened to the 601,2,3&4 streams on Freeview? Not everyone wants to watch on phones or tablets, or has an iPlayer enabled TV or the internet!

  • Pear_SMO Pear (@Pear_SMO) reported

    @makeupaguy We had ******* freeview so we got cheap kids channels, so I had never wtach a full spongebob episode

  • talktomarc Marc (@talktomarc) reported

    @Phill_X I had a YouView box from them and it was rubbish. Not enough HD channels and the non Freeview channels are streamed so can but slow to load and again rubbish picture quality. Not worth the money IMO

  • KimFraserGreen Kim Green (@KimFraserGreen) reported

    @JustMissEmma Hope you're feeling a bit better. If you want to watch 'Whistle Down the Wind', it's on this Friday at 8am (on Talking Pictures freeview channel 82 I think)! Really worth a watch. It's a classic☺

    Some spoilers on Twitter for anyone watching on a streaming service rather than Freeview.

  • daabren6 daveb (@daabren6) reported

    @LewisFeilder @GBNEWS @GBNfans Like most people here have said. GBNews is EVERYWHERE.....get the app on your phone.....All TVs have freeview just tap 236 on the remote... Google on computer and just scroll down until you see "watch live" .

  • jennimcparland1 Jennifer McParland (@jennimcparland1) reported

    @ThisDave @FergusCraig Have one! Still have a problem with sky coming through it ( which is how we get our tv as the freeview signal is sh**t!

  • NOWHelpTeam NOW Help Team (@NOWHelpTeam) reported

    @SarahJChadwick This would be under freeview, NOW APP does not have bbc 1 2 3 or 4 or ITV channels live unfortunately we never did, the APPS are free to download on our devices.
