  • quodignoratum Myles Winstone (@quodignoratum) reported from Warrington, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Definitely. We struggle getting Freeview and as you’re not on BT TV I’m missing my fix!

  • bulldogbyrne julie byrne (@bulldogbyrne) reported from Hindley, England

    Why do I keep paying for TV service which is shit @BTGroup I get better service on indoor freeview aerial

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

    @davidbicknell1 The little Englanders are about to have their own TV station in a few days time. Why aren't we all donating to someone such as @BylineTV (I am) ? Let's help get them on Freeview, even if it's only just a few hours per day initially

  • MildlyHotTakes Ben (@MildlyHotTakes) reported

    @stephenkb I will vote for whatever new party you start to campaign on this issue. Preferably one called "Change (the channel) UK" I'm literally going to spend 20 quid on a freeview box because of this failure of technology. And I will be absolutely indignant about it.

  • Itoldyerso John - Let’s get on with it! (@Itoldyerso) reported

    @Patricia344130 Live TV probably yes. Find lots of ‘old’ repeats, which never had time to watch, are now much more interesting. Thank goodness for Freeview.

  • Lnx_t Zooltie (@Lnx_t) reported

    @LGUK Will LG 2020 TV's be receiving Freeview Play? Bought mine only last October and it's awful I only have access to BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub.

  • askthedood KevyD (@askthedood) reported

    Will @HumaxUK @FreeviewTV record boxes (presume Aura is newest) ever have @netflix app support? Looking for a new Freeview Record box for my dad.

  • Nicky_Harrison_ 𝗘𝗸𝗹𝗲𝗸𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗡𝗶𝗸𝗶💁🏻‍♀️🇬🇧 (@Nicky_Harrison_) reported

    @JohnWal31582757 @GBNEWS Oh hang on, I've got some disappointing news. Are you with #Freeview, John?

  • DjSimonmatthews DJ Simon Matthews #MentalHealthMatters (@DjSimonmatthews) reported

    @bt_uk Can you please fix the problem that i cant watch freeview channels on the BTTV app @GooglePlay 🙏🏻

  • DBD365 Paul Day (@DBD365) reported

    @JohnyG29 Right, forget that, forget that. WHY, WHY ******** does there seem to be AN ENTIRE CHANNEL on Freeview called "Classic Who Wants To Be A Millionnaire"?

  • Peno_007 Paul P (@Peno_007) reported

    @dlhmarketing @GBNEWS Freeview 236, Sky HD 515, Virgin Media HD 626, YouView 236, Freesat HD 216, mobile, online & audio Happy to help.

  • just_call_me_DK Dreamkiller (@just_call_me_DK) reported

    @IanCornwell6 @GBNEWS I'm screwed. Don't have Sky or any other paid for service & only get limited freeview service due to our location. Looks like we won't be able to get @GBNEWS. To be honest though, I'm just glad it'll be there, hopefully challenging some of the ridiculous shite that's happening.
