    @PolygoniaSpec @Samanth22356123 Ah. The Freeview is so awful here, you can barely watch it. It's really noticeable with 'Who wants to be a Millionaire', where the TV is so fuzzy you cannot actually read the 4 answers.

  • LjStronge Tobias Stronge (@LjStronge) reported

    @halldean81 @SkyUK Do they have live TV (freeview channels) and can you record, rewind etc? I would be happy to use NOW TV if it provided the same service as Virgin/Sky Glass/Satellite, but I don't think its as comprehensive?

    @Gambol_Putty @jimharringtonkk An Internet phone costs under £20. I never get into any contract where I haven't planned forward for that amount of time. No one needs Sky there's Freeview.or a £25 firestick

    @FreeviewAdvice my freeview is displaying no signal on every channel and this is happening every night after 11pm until after 10am in the morning. Can you please help me with this?

  • roasty88 Ryan McVeigh (@roasty88) reported

    @WWEVacant @AEW I believe they are comparing Dynamite on itv4 (Freeview) to WWE on BT sport (paid subscription service). I would like to see a comparison of AEW to WWE shows on Freeview and see how they compare.

    Why is the 30 year old (bad) movie Jurassic Park on at least one Freeview channel every single week (sometimes several times per week?) #r4today

  • he1entweets Helen M (@he1entweets) reported

    @Mike_Fabricant Too busy slagging off @BorisJohnson to report real news . Thankfully we have Aljazeera News on freeview as we would never easily find out what is going on in the world and how it affects us here at home from BBC/SKY non news channels.

  • SJW5678 Daniel Franks (@SJW5678) reported

    @netgemtv Netgem via TalkTalk, the remote is poor not comfortable keys not spaced out and no user guide to what all the buttons do. Sound is poor, no PVR only 1 tuner, often programs clash, interface looks ok but it is just a revamp of the channel 100 freeview play guide.

  • AbuAqilah1 Abu Aqilah (@AbuAqilah1) reported

    @weathertoy @GBNEWS Only recently found this channel on Freeview. Is this actually a serious news channel? Why can this unqualified idiot rant on challenged?

  • jayandee48 jand (@jayandee48) reported

    @FreeviewTV I will never pay for tv so will always have freeview. But PLEASE sort your tv guide out - it's so hard to read. ☹
