🐺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…

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.
-
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.

Tom Poole (@TomPoole007) reported from Birmingham, England@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.

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!

Jack Last (@Ajax62859643753) reported@GBPolitcs Why is the BBC on Freeview?, it’s a free to watch service hence the name. But because the BBC use it they expect people to pay for a free service.
-
Louise Cuthbertson (@looeaze) reported£40.50.. how do you justify raising it to £67 for exactly the same service?! I have been a Sky customer for years! I am so disappointed.. freeview it is.
-
Presley Turberville (@T21949Presley) reported@Angelinajo4ngs I never watched your Freeview flms, you pungent frog.
-
Andy (@jump_drive_flyr) reportedOh look, the morning is misty (like most warm day mornings) and I have spotty at best Freeview reception on most channels, why did we ever let the analogue signal go?
-
Presley Turberville (@T21949Presley) reported@ATRightMovies Probably some mundane **** on Freeview.
-
Winter Doe 🦌❄️ (@yawn_fawn) reportedFreeview is so *** man how do boomers just watch only this **** all day
-
Jev Ward (@JevWard) reported@BerisfordRon Its repeated on freeview. I saw an episode when I was young which still upsets me to this day. A young couples car breaks down they go to a house for help major twist at the end.
-
365 Days of Dave (@timbcaycgi) reported@ChrisHazzardSF My understanding is that RTE services work on the Freeview platform via terrestrial signal deep beyond the boarder counties. With RTE themselves saying that the signal strength is high in the boarder region and moderate beyond
-
Gary Richmond (@gaswold) reported@archivetvmus71 I adored The Rockford Files. Garner was superb. Can't understand why it never gets any repeats on any of the Freeview channels.

Dave❗️ (@Robbiesmit8) reported@kenton1206 @fergiesreds Ditto… 16 yrs I’ve been with them.. £9 increase last April.. £7 this April incoming.. Trying to soften deluded customers with the *free* Disney + and Max worth £10 a month no one will watch! **** Sky tv I’m back to terrestrial tv with freeview saving £750 per year!
