    @LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍

    @channel5_tv is the worst for catch up tv via your app or freeview. Just can’t find programmes sometimes. Trying to find Sally Lindsays posh sleepover. C4, itv and BBC never ever have a problem with. I give up with C5

    On the Freeview “REALLY” channel at 9pm, “Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?”. I’ve never seen it before, but I bet the answers not Jeffrey Epstein.

    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

    @Stephen_Neal Good shout! If we just take the Freeview/Freesat ones, we get to ten, excluding the National ones: 1) BBC One 2) BBC Two 3) BBC Four 4) CBBC 5) CBeebies 6) BBC News 7) BBC Parliament 8) Dave 9) Drama 10) Yesterday But they aren’t licence fee funded, so don’t help the argument.

    I bet the advertisers on #Freeview movie channels must be making a massive loss with all really old war and western films they put on but only all the actors dead most of the people that remember these films will be dead as well. Who the hell likes these **** old movies?

    @trashage I used to hang out with these two girls whose grandmother lived a few doors up from me, and because they only had Freeview, I was repeatedly subjected to this because it was on one of the only two free kids channels... a special kind of torture.

  • mpmeg
    Marina (and Buster🐾)🐈🚣‍♀️ (@mpmeg) reported

    @MajQapla The Encore app is a catch up only service, and doesn't show live TV. I expect Abigail's Party will be added after broadcast. I watch TPTV via Virgin media channel 445, I know it is on Freeview (81?)

    @SkyUK why is there no subtitles on Sky Mix on Freeview at moment during Star Trek: Voyager episode. Your IT guys sleeping on the job or awake and trying to fix it? #startrekvoyager #skymix #Freeview

  • flincauk
    Philip Wattis (@flincauk) reported

    @RichardWellings Replace the BBC with a subscription based streaming service - not dissimilar to IPlayer, and they can use their Freeview channels to promote and advertise the subscription service.

  • WarriorBlood121
    Brinscall, Withnell and I (@WarriorBlood121) reported

    @DavidLloydRADIO I sometimes flick from one BBC radio station to the other on TV's Freeview service and the same pop tune will often be playing at the same time in 3 places. Penny pinching banality. The opposite of what BBC local radio used to stand for.

    @XpandedTV I only just saw this post so did not know Maria was coming off screen at midnight. Hence I rung in trying to get up the queue before the switch to Freeview. I never think Cam is as good as the studio but if anyone can make it work it's Maria. Hopefully I will catch her soon!

    @BerisfordRon Its repeated on freeview. I saw an episode when I was young which still upsets me to this day. A young couples car breaks down they go to a house for help major twist at the end.
