  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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 😂

  • CliveRoper Clive Roper (@CliveRoper) reported

    @TalkTV Why is the picture quality on Freeview so poor compared to GB News or even online?

  • andyjameshicks Andy Hicks (@andyjameshicks) reported

    @AaronBastani It's the reason I'd never buy licence. (That and Sky taking Sky Sports News off Freeview if I'm honest.)

  • AlexTheGuiri Alex the Guiri (@AlexTheGuiri) reported

    @Glostermeteor @MattWWoolwich Nope. The BBC was given a significant uplift in the licence fee to implement Freeview in the early 2010s. It was then allowed to keep that uplift to fund the World Service (previously FCO) and ‘free’ licences for over 75s (previously HMT). Typically it has subsequently reneged.

    Rip CITV I’ll never forget watching Disney channel and Nickelodeon shows on CITV cos I only had freeview X

  • larissaweems lettie (@larissaweems) reported

    when i was young we couldn’t afford anything like sky and freeview wasn’t really a thing, and then when it was introduced we still couldn’t have it because we didn’t get a signal. citv and bbc was the only way i could watch children’s tv after school/sick days and i feel like

  • mangh_oe Sophie (@mangh_oe) reported

    @jasebyjason I thought this ! There’s probably not enough kids watching the tv now so they’re not bothering anymore but my dad never got wifi till I was 16 because waste of money so I feel bad for the families that rely on freeview tv 😭

  • rantyman Norbert Rantyman (@rantyman) reported

    All the BBC channels have gone from my Freeview…. Is this just my problem or anyone else finding this?

  • PERCANGL3 Narcos Alonso 🇸🇴 (@PERCANGL3) reported from Leicestershire, England

    Unironically, I genuinely think The best shows off Freeview TV (CBBC and CITV) would was any other network 10v10

    @Eugenecyclist @StevenJonMiller @terrychristian yeah not technologically possible as yet. Too many incompatible Freeview players and people with poor broadband.
