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

  • 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 😂

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    I’m looking to see what original programs are on TV as it’s Saturday and what do we have on all these FreeView channels well let’s just forget BBC as it’s same-old-same-old. BBC2 1980 T/Pops? Any & Dec same old format you can bet on it! Then The New Voice old format..Crap!!

  • IsobelMKeane Isobel Ní Chatháin 🇮🇪 (@IsobelMKeane) reported

    @utdfox We didn't have Sky and it was never shown on the Freeview channels. I did watch the Pokemon DPPT animes, Bakugan, Beyblade, Tokyo Mew Mew and Digimon Data Squad though.

  • ManfacilityW Manfacility Metal Works (@ManfacilityW) reported

    Smokey and the bandit 3 just started on paramount network on freeview. Only ever seen it once..

  • raytor Ray #indyref2 (@raytor) reported

    @weblivz Haven't renewed subscription, must find new stuff, being stuck with freeview is awful.

  • Ben_Blackman Ben Blackman (@Ben_Blackman) reported

    My SMART tv is not near a tv Ariel socket. We usually just watch iPlayer, netflix, now tv etc but I would like to be able to cut out the faff of that to access the freeview channels and menu sometimes.

  • rhydsnewi Rhydian Edwards (@rhydsnewi) reported

    @LankyCarGuy Because Freeview transmitters have only a fixed number of frequencies they can broadcast a signal on. Each frequency can carry a number of separate channels, but that number depends on the quality. Reduce the quality and you can fit more channels (and more revenue) in.

  • SewDaft Mando (@SewDaft) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam No dish on the house. Elderly lady just wants to watch tv and wants more channels than freeview. So is this possible? Can she have sat tv without a broadband service at the property? Have you got a sales team I can talk to? would be much easier but can't find phone # on website.

  • angelauk1900 Angela🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 (@angelauk1900) reported

    @JanetMcwee I haven't had a TV aerial for about 20 years. No longer have a Sky box so I watch Freesat via TV ( similar to Freeview) and stream everything else, catchup, iplayers, netflix etc via internet although I do subscribe to NOW TV which is a Sky streaming service.

  • thematabot Matt (@thematabot) reported

    @LankyCarGuy Who cares if it's on freeview **** paying hundred a month for television

  • mrsverypicky Sue Reeve ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🕊️🕷️ (@mrsverypicky) reported

    @katelilyn @simonmayo Same issue here in Glesga. Resorted to app. Supposed to be able to get it on Freeview via TV. Kitchen TV rubbish sound quality, living room OK. At least app is more portable.
