@virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.

@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.

@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…

@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!

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.

…as well as numerous add on packages and this money is being completely wasted. The customer service is absolutely shocking. I have relied on now tv rather than freeview etc for television in my home and am now left with nothing even though I’m paying upwards of £25 a month.

I will be talking to @RobbieRinder today at 6:15pm on @TalkTV about CBT-I and the app Sleepio recommended by NICE to be the used ahead of sleeping pills to treat insomnia. Viewers can watch via 📺 Freeview 237, Sky 526, Virgin 627 #CBT

Back the BBC 📺📻📡📱

@MrJohnNicolson @CommonsDCMS How would a subscription model for Channel 4 even work? It's delivered free, over the air. Its only value is its freeview slot, which has to be funded by advertising or sponsorship. It could develop a subscription service, but anyone could do that now without buying Channel 4.

Just flailed past @GBNEWS on Freeview; a year on and their studio pictures still look awful and the audio sync is wrong. Did every broadcast engineer refuse the job offer?!

@GaymerChat Yeah, I’m going to watch Stranger Things 4 then probably cancel. I’m tempted to cancel the package altogether and rely on Freeview and assorted streaming apps on the Apple TV. Maybe I’ll make a dent in my massive pile of unread books? (Spoiler: I will not…)

@blujreviews I don't drink, I don't smoke, cook all my own food from basic ingredients, cut back on monthly payments (e.g basic phone package, only freeview TV). Savings mount up fast. Never spent money I didn't have - no credit.
