    @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.

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

    Pam's Pick of the TV GUIDE: 'Doctor Zhivago' 1965 Directed by David Lean. Starring Omar Sharif (once seen never forgotten) 🥰 On @BBCTwo at 13:15 Not seen it for a while. No adverts & Subtitles - Always a plus. P.S. I keep to Freeview channels as I don't have Netflix, Sky etc 📺

  • G8CYK G8CYK (@G8CYK) reported

    @Chris_Hill_Bsc @FreeviewAdvice It's not really good enough is it? But Freeview was never going to work reliably once most of the broadcast spectrum was sold to cellular companies. The BBC, Freeview and Ofcom have a major problem and are basically forcing everyone to use online.

    Liz Truss has hinted she will announce more help on the cost of living - as Labour calls for the government to make public the plans it is considering. Sky's has the latest 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

    Braverman will not back down to out of touch lefties. BBC Parliament freeview 232.

  • KaihatsuYT Kaihatsu (@KaihatsuYT) reported

    Personally, I'm not particularly bothered by it all. I've not had a particular interest in Pokémon for a while, but I never watched the anime much as a kid. I never saw it on TV in the UAE and it never seemed to be on Freeview in the UK on a regular schedule either.

    @FreeviewAdvice hi iv just brought a new tv it has freeview play iv plugged in a internal Aerial but it’s not finding any channel when doing a full retune please help thanks

  • danny___puppy Super Weenie (@danny___puppy) reported

    @BenRoddison @mashcore4mums @kianworld Pokemon TV is a free service and Pop is a freeview channel, so that REALLY helps keep the costs down with this list

    "My freeview isn't working so that's obviously internet hackers and it's your fault" **** off ******

  • pumpkingirl89 MelissaW🌸🩸 (@pumpkingirl89) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice My mum lives at LL11 6UN and since yesterday her and her neighbours have had trouble picking up the majority of the freeview channels. Is there any work in the area that has caused this?
