@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.

@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.

@GBNEWS Don't watch Freeview any more. That would involve paying for a TV licence which would mean the BBC receiving money from me and that's not going to happen. It would also suggest I tacitly support the mainstream media which I don't; its news coverage is a tissue of lies.

@cordbusters Just got the pop-up. A truly awful decision by @bbc to remove @bbcnews from Freeview HD. Even worse knowing that £80m was spent bringing BBC Three back.

@Michael11923873 Yes, some areas of the UK including Humber will be able to receive both our local service (on channel 7 or 8) and our national services (on channel 65 and 91) on Freeview from tomorrow. These are all SD services. Pass on the message: Retune 30 June!

@virginmedia I want to reduce my package as I can't afford my current price but all offers are more expensive. New customers get 100mb and freeview for about £30, I was quoted £60 lol. I'll run my contract out and the next day become a new customer for a better deal. Stupid scenario

@bbcnews @freeview dont watch BBC News in morning as its just a copy of the breakfast chat show on BBC One. Now you take BBC News HD off freeview, so won't be watching it at all! Just like I never watch BBC local news. #bbcnews #freeview

@SkyNews Give up Sky, Netflix, Disney plus, Paramount plus, Amazon prime. Plenty on freeview. Cut down on alcohol and smoking. There are many people who are truly poor through no fault of their own. Contact CAB or Welfare Rights.
