    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

  • nessymon Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England

    @MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @Mucky1 Most Freeview connected TVs & set top boxes can receive the service.

  • MsKinLondon Katrina Buchanan 💙💚 (@MsKinLondon) reported

    I've discovered the most fantastically awful programme on a Freeview channel. Script, direction, acting all splendidly and spectacularly dreadful. I am completely hooked

  • twitdwood David Woodley (@twitdwood) reported

    @GBNEWS like me, tired of watching early morning GBNEWS? Try Aljazeera (Freeview 235). Real news, intelligently presented. GBNews has become the most boring, crass breakfast programme. It gets better later in the day but first thing is awful!

  • JoannaClarke158 Joanna Clarke (@JoannaClarke158) reported

    @GBNEWS The problem with Freeview 236 is the signal is so poor, with unwatchable screen and unlistenable sound. I wish you could make it like the others.

  • DK1_DK1 DK (@DK1_DK1) reported

    @MattyladKRO @virginmedia I'm sure there will be other providers trying to do the same worried people will cancel services due to cost of living increases. We just cancelled SKY TV as were paying £50 a month to pretty much watch channels that are available on freeview.

  • Cabaal Cabaal 🇮🇪🇪🇺 (@Cabaal) reported

    @adrianweckler Zero interest in Sky for TV. We got rid of it in 2009 with last recession and just watched freeview available channels. People don't realise just how many channels you can watch for free, its fairly decent. Can signup/cancel streaming service as needed then. Big cost savings

  • chrishainstock media:man (@chrishainstock) reported

    @EyesWatchin @IndeedItsMark The sound is really bad on iPlayer via Freeview - how are you watching it?

  • themikei mikey (@themikei) reported

    @CyclingScience1 @JHesterdrums @lavuelta If you're watching on Freeview then there's nothing that can be done, the spectrum available for the service has been reduced and some channels removed, that's down to decisions made by the British government.

  • spectral_song SpectralSong 💙🇺🇦 (@spectral_song) reported

    @deathofbuckley Echoes of Price & Andre, on your screens soon. Prob Ch5 or some Freeview repeats crap. Now let me tell the world all about my life. No takers? Phew! Couldn't be arsed anyway. Not that needy.

  • shortflyslip Andrew (@shortflyslip) reported

    @PullarStrecker yeah, that's an interesting development. The market for watching NZ's so-called terrestrial TV channels seems a bit uncertain right now with the Freeview on demand service set to end, and Sky might be one of the better options.
