  • NFGmart martyn notman (@NFGmart) reported from Sheffield, England

    @LuckyCedarlane @BBCAMERICA @ITV @itv2 @Channel4 @channel5_tv C5 is awful. All this is freeview too!

  • StuN_UK StuN UK (@StuN_UK) reported from Sheffield, England

    @bowlestrek Get your facts straight. Johnson is not in favour of ditching the license fee, as he knows it’s a massive vote loser. Plus they’ve now realised, they can’t go to subscription fee system, as the freeview boxes that the majority of UK households use, don’t support it.

    @Alexand85266011 @femme_uk @GBNEWS Freeview isn't very reliable for me either. I'm only 10 miles [as the crow flies] from the South Yorkshire Transmitter, yet I can only receive 6 of the 15 HD channels available. BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4, Channel 5 and CBBC. The signal quality/strength is on average 80%.

    @misteronmac @BBCNews £5.27 per month smartphone, only freeview, don’t smoke & even teetotal so maybe give up the car & walk 30+ miles to work, work my 10 hrs & then walk 30+ home again … At 68, working in the back of beyond, up hill & down dale, with no public transport … I don’t think so 🙄

  • KityLonglegs Joanne. (@KityLonglegs) reported

    I’m a sky cuntstomer. Just logged in to SkyGo to find something interesting for tomorrow. **** all I’d watch. Why am I paying about £70 a month for shite I could get for free if I just buy an aerial and freeview?

  • MellyStark Melly Welly (@MellyStark) reported

    anyone else having issues getting #BBC channels on #Freeview tonight... all our others are fine. we're postcode SA65 #asktwitter

  • VincentVanGrump vintendo BS (@VincentVanGrump) reported

    @afneil Why are you lot so ******* obsessed with shite from a century ago. You watch a History Channel documentary on Freeview and think you're all Whinston Churchill. Put the bunting down. You weren't even alive. YOU personally didn't win **** all. Learn from extremism. Be better.

  • Eon_Nova Nova Storm 🔜 SOTONFURS (@Eon_Nova) reported

    @kestenan I believe you can own a TV but you only need the License to watch their channels or something stupid. Can use a TV screen for a computer screen if it has no freeview built in. BUT i could be wrong...

  • SeasideDaddy1 Disabled Guy (@SeasideDaddy1) reported

    @revkatebottley My grandparents never embraced the sky experience only for getting a Freeview set top box to receive digital when the old analog tv was turned off.

  • SimonOxley9 Simon Oxley (@SimonOxley9) reported

    Seems like an interesting time to return to @LutonTown commentary duty at Swansea on Saturday. First visit to Liberty Stadium - never went to the Vetch either. Digital radio and Freeview 720 @BBCSport3CR

  • hywelgibbs Hywel Gibbs (@hywelgibbs) reported

    @Channel4 When will this streaming service be available on Freeview please?

  • Katielainton princesskate (@Katielainton) reported

    @virginmedia trying to cancel my tv package down to just the free view Chanel’s and your rep that I just spoke to doesn’t know what freeview is? Can anyone help?
