  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    Hi @rmc47 - @melharbour suggested you might be able to help. Any ideas why a Freeview TV signal might disappear in the middle of the day? We've retuned, but it works fine until about 8.30am, then pixelated before finally displaying 'no signal' - so can't believe it's the tuning

  • PWispa Taylor! (@PWispa) reported

    @oocukkidstv No way, they bring back BBC Three only to immediately do this **** afterwards. Wtf are freeview kids who grew out of Cbeebies going to watch now? Pop?

  • DarranSF Darran Summerfield (@DarranSF) reported

    @blujreviews I don't drink, I don't smoke, cook all my own food from basic ingredients, cut back on monthly payments (e.g basic phone package, only freeview TV). Savings mount up fast. Never spent money I didn't have - no credit.

  • spidersam616 sam (@spidersam616) reported

    @farmboyluke I’m so sad for all the disadvantaged kids who rely on this service for entertainment. Not all kids can afford streaming and only freeview

  • ruth_forrester ruth forrester (@ruth_forrester) reported

    @Channel4 hello, I have not watched C4 on freeview for like a year because no matter what I do to try to reset pw I cannot login
