  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

  • JoyAnneGarner Joy Garner (@JoyAnneGarner) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Anyone else having issues with Freeview etc today? ST6 area ?

  • DavidSwindells1 David Swindells (@DavidSwindells1) reported from Macclesfield, England

    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

  • kirstxxiv kirstylouise (@kirstxxiv) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Werrington, England

    Warning, stupid question incoming, does a Freeview tele just simply plug into an old skool aerial?? My mum wants a new TV but doesn’t have cable. I’m assuming so? I’ve had cable since the early 90s so haven’t had to faff on with aerials for 30 odd years !!!

    @Raymond82310289 Time to send that **** back, people... use freeview and online streaming services that you can stomach using.

  • backpackeneur Thomas Smith 💛💙 (@backpackeneur) reported

    Can someone explain why the BBC are showing both matches on channels available in HD via Freeview (good thing) but @ITV have shoved one of the matches to ITV4 which doesn’t have a HD version on Freeview (bad thing)?

  • FistingFarts Matthew Talbot-Paine (@FistingFarts) reported

    @guardiannews Is the BBC not primarily for the lower socio economic viewer anyway? or rather shouldn't it be? If you are rich then you can afford sky, netflix, disney plus, hulu, hbo, prime video and so on if you are poor then all you have is the bbc and all the freeview channels.

  • wjosh1996 Josh (@wjosh1996) reported

    @SSHayre9 Nunez looks for more channels than freeview, the agenda never does

  • KieronPearce Kieron (@KieronPearce) reported

    @stephen_latham @itvfootball Itv4 HD on Virgin is only on highest TV tier only which we don't have. Freeview 26 is standard def itv4 which looks like **** on a 4k TV. (I think it's 576p resolution)

  • sibur_67 SiBur 🇺🇦 (@sibur_67) reported

    @betangel I'd watch it but only have Freeview and ITV4 is SD only - crap

  • BarneyBear63 Christopher J. Barnes (@BarneyBear63) reported

    @tcm TCM have been almost invisible in the UK as tiny TALKING MOVIES channel goes from strength to strength on FREEVIEW UK. You will never know how many classic movies we have watched since 2018.

  • illuminatus 🙄 (@illuminatus) reported

    @JaseHeeley It is at times like this that I am glad I only get the minimal Freeview service where I am.

  • adthedoor Adam Hammond (@adthedoor) reported

    @BullAntics Nope. And reception is so poor here that we only get about 14 channels on Freeview.

  • PhilipOFlaherty Phil OFlaherty (@PhilipOFlaherty) reported

    This season of The Crown was so ****. Why was there a whole episode about the queen getting freeview pls
