  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

  • bh_bryn Bryn (@bh_bryn) reported from Roby, England

  • investorswain Jonathan (@investorswain) reported

    @itv2 the amount of adverts are a joke too. This is why I avoid watching Freeview, can’t deal with the **** quality lol.

  • loisnomad loisnomad (@loisnomad) reported

    @Ian_Positivity I don't think I have Walter? Freeview,netflix,prime and I buy dvd's because you can resell and back up if internet down.

  • erekose6 hawkmoon62 #FBPE (@erekose6) reported

    If you missed it, @Coldwar_Steve Meets the Outside World repeated 11pm Sky Arts freeview ch 11 On this awful day for the UK something slightly uplifting.

  • oohweehuman Akon Ohio (@oohweehuman) reported

    until Freeview came along we only got a certain number of channels with the aerial facing one way and others the other way, so if someone wanted to change the channel they'd have to go out to the deck and whack it with a giant bamboo stick... Today's kids will never know

  • AstronomiconSF Paul Vincent (@AstronomiconSF) reported

    I haven't watched any broadcast television for well over a year! (We've got iPlayer, All4, Netflix etc. - but have completely stopped watching anything as it's broadcast). When we dropped cable TV in 2019, we meant to get Freeview but never got around to it.

  • caffeinatedeyes ella (@caffeinatedeyes) reported

    watching the Find Out More About Freeview channel because its the only thing on tv that isnt depressing as ****

  • Alun135 BrampaGamp 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 (@Alun135) reported

    @thewisedevil @virginmedia I have been loyal customer for over 40 years I have tried to keep my costs down but virgin keep hiking the price now got to the point I am leaving I am going freeview with just Internet and phone probably with 3 or Vodafone. Just had an email adding insult to injury £20.00 pm

  • GeoffBySea Geoff-by-Sea (@GeoffBySea) reported

    I think it's so wrong and such a waste of signal space having +1 channels on @Freeview. Everyone can record or use catch-up services. More HD options would be far better.

  • CooroSnowFox 🍝 Auro D. Hikoshi (@CooroSnowFox) reported

    @carbon_robert @akfytwrestling Network is separate from BT... And BT is either part of it's own which it's a small part of, or with Sky or Virgin on various levels... and Raw and Smackdown are shown for free in shortened forms on the Freeview channels...

  • katkatjones Kathryn Jones (@katkatjones) reported

    @itvhub @skipinkat @itvhub Any news on the fix for this? 9 months on from this Tweet and it’s still happening? Why specifically Freeview play tv’s affected when we’re watching on the app not on Freeview?
