  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @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.

  • 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

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

  • 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 😂

  • D_Hollingsworth Dan Hollingsworth (@D_Hollingsworth) reported from Rickmansworth, England

    When did BBC4 HD. Leave Freeview? What a load of ****, missed a chunk of #TOTP and joining it late with Michael ruddy Jackson.

  • 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.

  • OfficialAlgie Algie🕊️💜🎧 (@OfficialAlgie) reported

    @MrWayneGarton @Kieronocall @StanCollymore There's 100s of channels on Freeview... without all the streaming sites that lots of people have... I see no issue...x

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    BBC Red Button 1 now has the lying-in-state live stream running until 6:30am on Monday. Satellite has no-commentry coverage from 0800-1700, then suspension. Freeview currently still has suspension. Overall, BBC very slow to confirm arrangements away from BBC One and BBC Two.

  • pigeonmount Paul Hawkins (@pigeonmount) reported

    @BBCLauraKT Welcome to 'Mournhub'. Thank gawd for freeview, Netflix etc. If it really get s bad I'll dust off my videos!

  • paulwebster Paul Webster (@paulwebster) reported

    Impressed to see that @TalkingPicsTV now has a Freeview Red Button service. HbbTV (Freeview Play) so older TVs might not work - and requires Internet connection.

  • EastLight EastLight (@EastLight) reported

    @mashcore4mums @a516digital Not sure if the small delay on BBC 1 vs News is intentionally added, or related to the feed passing through regional centres? Freeview SD pictures are poor even on "high" bitrate channels though. "Dreadful" was my initial reaction when I 1st saw DVB in 1999- this hasn't changed.

  • TomDavi8165081 Tom1871 (@TomDavi8165081) reported

    Is anyone else having problems recording off of freeview? Things keep failing from the HD channels such as BBC One & ITV. I don't record off the HD channels, just the normal ones. I don't know why it keeps doing this. I retuned my freeview box to see if that helps.

  • gg_poulloin ggpoulloin (@gg_poulloin) reported

    '@FreeviewTV with the main channels doing saturation coverage of the monarchy people will look for other TV to watch. Who watches 24-hour monarchy day after day? But it does show up just how bad Freeview is though doesn't it. It's rare to find anything worth watching!

    @SuperCroup Yes but the stuff for free on YouTube is not to my taste and usually crap. What's Kanopy, not on Freeview. I suppose I could put on a videotape.
