    @edgarwright @broccantyzack @itv2 Would make for a brilliant friday/saturday/sunday triple header. Would love to break it down into how many times a year they appear on freeview TV

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    Mum's NCIS marathon inspired me a little. Castle has been repeating on Freeview. And I damn well LOVED that show. For the first five seasons. After which, it sucked.

    @finchoid Joking aside, two of my mates are functioning ****** addicts. After beers once I chased the dragon with them. You know where you inhale the fumes? It was ****! They were out of it, I was looking for something to watch on Freeview. I was actually quite disappointed.

    @robertlargan Freeview and DAB radio would be good too, especially poor in Chinley area

    @FreeviewAdvice The freeview signal in my area is very poor today and has been for the last 24hrs. Is there aprobelm with the local transmitter? My Postcode NR31 9

  • GalanthusA Angel (@GalanthusA) reported

    @GBNEWS Are you broadcasting at a reduced signal strength? For around a week I have been getting glitches affecting sound and picture and its so bad today its even affecting a set with a booster on it. All other channels are fine and I have tried re-tuning. I watch on Freeview

  • ChewieD2 Graeme Hanks (@ChewieD2) reported

    @tstrachanedit I used to watch it every weekend when it was on freeview but could never justify the spend when it went behind a paywall. Couldn’t beat having a lazy Saturday with endless cuppa’s and just tv. Good times!
