@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

@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.

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 😂

@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.

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

@SkyUK Relying on streaming for all your tv content is a terrible idea. Having freeview as back up means you need an aerial on your roof, which negates the main benefit if sky glass!

@rlrossi64 Good question. I'm guessing: network television; broadcast TV; digital TV channels; Freeview. Creates a distinction between those and streaming services, I guess.

@insimonated Thanks fella. I'm trying to get away from Virgin at the moment. Have sorted freeview now so will be calling to cancel all services shortly once I've sourced replacement WiFi provider. Virgin offered me a £2 reduction in my *almost* £100 monthly bill to remove the following:

Have questioned why so few stations on Freeview in BN12 area. The reply from Freeview indicates reception in the area is poor as only a relay service & many stations not provided. Here is the conversation & how to complain to improve the service if you agree (I want Sky Arts)

@zealous44672945 Hi Zealous. The Cardiff transmitter is broadcasting all the usual Freeview services, but a separate mutliplex for the Cardiff region (equivalent to the Manchester multiplex) never made it to air, so it's been included on the site as a little joke.

Today I had the misfortune of exploring the available programming on New Zealand's Freeview TV channels. I'm clearly not anyone's target market; to me it looks like wall-to-wall crap with brief sparkles of joy on Maori TV.

@Channel4 6 months after your major outage, I'm still seeing really bad audio sync on freeview... The internet is full of others saying the same thing. No other live TV has this issue. @WeAreWhisperTV is it just your F1 shows, that's all I watch on the channel?

@Flashmaggie @Baroness_Nichol I was one of those who said I would never watch it. Ever. I have since watched @andrewdoyle_com on a number of occasions in recent months. It’s disappointing that the quality is so low on Freeview, but live YouTube stream is handy.
