    @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.

    @conciergemaree I have a Hisense tv- I tried pressing the red button but didn’t work. When you go to channel 7 do you get the Freeview bar down the bottom? Can just press across to get to 7plus

  • BerniKennedy Bernardine Kennedy (Maxwell) (@BerniKennedy) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Help Again. When Sky Q was installed they somehow disconnected our Freeview on 2 TVs . As the scaffolding is going to be there for three weeks we really need to do something. Suggestions? (apart from SkyGlass... too expensive right now)

  • OffTrack94 CJP (@OffTrack94) reported

    @SallyPh30400687 @blazerpete45 @sportbible Right, whilst that is great for womens football, no issue with that, it also should be expected really as the only other big freeview match in the UK in 2022 was the FA Cup Final which obviously is only the interest of 2 clubs rather than an entire country.

  • YNWA_4Life Trist  (@YNWA_4Life) reported

    Once again reminded how shockingly poor the HD quality is on Freeview. (Watching the match on ITV HD)

  • djones1509 Derek Jones (@djones1509) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Can I ask if you are experiencing any technical issues, as no signal is being received on all Freeview channels? Many thanks!

  • portybella Dudley's Butler (@portybella) reported

    @kendo491 Any streaming service provided it isn't "live streaming" Gave up TV license years ago Have Freeview Netflix Britbox Acorn Paramount + Prime IMDB etc I share my subscriptions with family as most will allow 5 profiles over 4 separate devices Splits the cost

  • RichardGB76 Richard G. Bartholomew (@RichardGB76) reported

    I am going to treat this Chinese takeaway just like I treated the ten minute freeview on TV X and The Adult Channel when I was a teenager: plan to drag it out for as long as possible, but I know I'll be finished in under two minutes! #TheOneShow #EURO2022

  • dirtyblondish1 Ristopher (@dirtyblondish1) reported

    Got up at 9 this morning to watch a bunch of episodes of Through The Keyhole (never seen it before after all these years in London) on the strange new freeview channel called "That's TV". It's not very good but an interesting enough time capsule.

    @HookClassic I can't get the Welsh channels and the football is on there, so I Have to watch the matches on iPlayer, it's such a pain. I was scrapping with Freeview about this. Apparently the mountains are in the way of the antenna so I get Liverpool TV instead. Awful stuff.
