  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • under_toned Wendy Ogden-Hill (@under_toned) reported

    How to save money on #SKY. Just leave. When they offer you a deal to stay (the one they should have offered you as a loyal customer) say no. Leave. Get Amazon and Netflix and Freeview and save bundles. Oh, and after a couple of months I got offered SkyQ for £5 a month. Nope ta.

  • brianmcghee1 Brian Mcghee (@brianmcghee1) reported

    @62Sauzee @Record_Sport We tried SPFL tv when we had to rely on people having sky dishes, cable or freeview which was much more expensive. Now in the days of fibre broadband that problem doesn’t exist anyone can live stream you just need the equipment which we already have

  • GerardNeeson I'm immortal!!! (@GerardNeeson) reported

    @MeidasTouch If that is the case, then thank fk virgin media took CNN of our freeview network so we can't watch it anymore!!!!!

  • Mac_WiFi Andrew McHale (@Mac_WiFi) reported

    @TheCMReed @Potato_Fi @TurtleBeach Nope, no change 😫 POV1 is “stuck” in freeview mode so I can’t do things like select the throttle in training mode. I’m guessing this isn’t an issue on yours then which gives me hope for a fix from TB

  • 46Ruthie Whyamidoingthis. (@46Ruthie) reported

    @itvnews maybe the younger people should cancel all tv subscriptions & make do with freeview,reduce nights out, they don’t need new clothes, Want, Need ,Afford.

  • DyslebrityDawg Raulstrebo aka Don-Paul ap Arfon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@DyslebrityDawg) reported

    @Seraph7th I have only ever seen a couple of minutes of Dog Soldiers. It was on a freeview channel a few months ago. Low budget British horror movie, no thank you. I still harbour 'issues' with low budget British film producers, they didn't want my screenplays, except James Atherton LOL

  • MartynBradley7 Carry On Mart (@MartynBradley7) reported

    Love that @TalkingPicsTV now has Encore on the red button on Freeview, but the ratio is all wrong. Happy to watch in 4:3 if made that way but everything is in it, making some images stretched upwards. Please fix!

  • DJGaryBaldy DJGaryBaldy 🎧 (@DJGaryBaldy) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Was it Forces TV who showed them before it shut down I know they've been on TV not so long back as I recorded them on my old Freeview PVR

  • PoppyDog08 Al (@PoppyDog08) reported

    @TPTVEncore The new Freeview service is superb. Thanks. Interestingly, on my new Samsung TV the Encore prompt is on even during ad breaks. There's no way to get rid of it. It doesn't show at all on my Humax Freeview Play box yet works fine.

  • JohnMac92158577 John Macleod (@JohnMac92158577) reported

    I hope I'll still have a tv service to watch once I'm with BT as I think they assume I have freeview when in fact I get tv from freesat through a satellite dish and current broadband provider I swear to god I spoke to someone today who wasn't sure what's in my new order with bt
