    @Neverfadingwood @Thebubblegunman Me, not since around 1997 (a black and white portable). I suppose when I say I've never used Freeview that's not strictly true as I've seen it on other people's tv, but really don't have any sense of what is or isn't available on it.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @DimensionsInJen I fully agree but I also wonder if it would help if those who watched or recorded on Freeview/satellite/cable shouldn't also stream it via the iPlayer to ensure it counts. You don't need to watch again, mute the tab and let it run. That's what I'm doing to ensure my view counts.

    @PatriotNz2022 Had a years free subscription with Vodafone and never renewed, couldn't find anything to watch! Don't have any streaming services, just a Freeview recorder

    @FreeviewTV Why is the freeview signal reception so terrible in north east Scotland and can we get a discount on the license fee for having to put up with your abysmal service.

    @Rhysj37 @FGHockey Got have bad times to have the good, sadly good times of 2016/17 2017/18 seem a distance memory now! Cheers for the insight. No s4c or BBC two Wales up on Freeview in our hotel. #Gutted

    @emerald88604982 @ladydebbie6 @KensingtonRoyal I would never pay for tv. Freeview has loads and getting better every day. Most things on sky Netflix prime etc end up on Freeview anyway.

    @piersmorgan @PiersUncensored I don't have 237 on my Freeview. I'm not tech savvy. Help me

  • allen_rob Rob Allen (@allen_rob) reported

    @SlapstickSally Bt is a load of ****. I'm using freeview now!

  • StefanKorn59 Stefan Korn (@StefanKorn59) reported

    @Lauren1994_27 Good. It is not too bad, really. We always find something to watch. Unlike the Freeview TV.

    @badmissk @366DaiChallenge I bought a telly for my pensioner sister. I went into Currys and said "doesn't have broadband, not interested in streaming or 'smart', just wants the Freeview channels". You literally can't buy such a thing. I walked out with a JVC with 90% of its functionality she'd never use.
