@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.

@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.

@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!

@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…

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.

@CourtTVUK Why have you taken Court TV from Freeview? It says ‘service closed’? Is it now only available on pay platforms such as Sky/Freesat? Neither are totally free, for FreeSat you need a box and dish. Freeview is available to all. Can’t understand why youclosed it?

@GBNEWS @DrSpock_PhD No freeview where I live - no signal. I had to have freesat from Sky to get any TV at all when we went digital. I do not have an HD TV and I would have to subscribe to Sky to get channel 515 anyway. And buy a TV license. Where's the online version?

@martiansurvivor Hi, Freeview TV requires an active aerial connection to receive our service, unfortunately, this is the only way to get the TV channels via Freeview. You may be able to find something online for a different provider. Thanks, Dev.

@CourtTVUK disappointed you’ve removed the service from the freeview tv network in uk. Ive been watching since the channel started being aired and and you’ve just remove the service with no notice.

@MarcusChang1990 @virginmedia I would check out other providers Marcus, I downgraded from 200mb b/b to 100mb, maxit TV down to lowest mixit tv (less channels than freeview) and lowest phone and my price went up instead of down. I hope you have more luck. #StaySafe

@TrilbeeReviews Statistic for you courtesy of Creative Diversity Network highlighted by freeview in a FB post today.. 4.7% of all lead roles are given to black actors. Black people represent 3.5% pf the UK population if I recall.. So over represented perhaps?

@beverleyhills8 @GBNEWS Yes this is the stupid thing. They are supporting the TV license by being on Freeview etc. Should have gone internet-only.
