  • 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

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

  • MarkL00775 Mark L (@MarkL00775) reported

    @MartinSLewis Why pay for a service when there are so much free? Try Pluto tv (free) some great stuff on there if can't find anything to watch on freeview

  • nickybshaw Nicole B Shaw (@nickybshaw) reported

    @MartinSLewis Yes but I also opt in for major sport in month units. Saved £100s dropping Sky full service. & dropping to single user Netflix. I choose FreeView mostly.

    @itsnickelflysk3 @virginmedia Only problems we seem to have with Virgin is when lightning hits the signal box outside a causes a big outage Thankfully we still have Freeview otherwise will be doomed

  • katewal64655706 kate wallace (@katewal64655706) reported

    @ThatKerryHudson @Di__ers I’ve got food network on freeview/ freesat. Also would recommend Zen for internet. Good customer service ratings which is unusual in that industry.

  • alison_pannell Ali-Pan (@alison_pannell) reported

    @missellieaquas @GaryLineker Advice needed - I am using mainly freeview programs via aerial and finding less and less I want to watch, but I do like GBNews - I want more than just films and boxsets but would like to cancel my Licence. I do have WiFi/smart TV available - what would anyone suggest

  • eugene_doherty Eugene Doherty (@eugene_doherty) reported

    @haroldthimbleby Some years back when we had broadband I thought I'd have a look at freeview via aerial to save money but couldn't get a signal. Then when weeding one day I found a coiled up coax cable where next door had been working on their gutters, cut the cable and just decided to hide it.

  • mcguirk_26 Lee McGuirk (@mcguirk_26) reported

    @MartinSLewis We have only used a Now TV stick for the last 3 years. Recently got the ariel lead so as to watch freeview. What a load of crap on all these channels. Just full of repeats. No wonder streaming services are doing so well.

  • AlDumas6 AlDumas (@AlDumas6) reported

    @MartinSLewis Don’t have any streaming services. I can watch a couple of hundred channels of utter crap on freeview/freesat or free online, or pay stupid money to watch several thousand channels of even more utter crap.

  • Sarah_Lady Sarah Lady💙 (@Sarah_Lady) reported

    @BazTheHaff Yeah that’s the problem, we can’t usually get a picture properly with freeview so just stream all our telly through the apps.
