    @BromleyCrossBoy I’m afraid I’m in the stone age with Freeview (absolutely not a fan of the paid services, the horrid Murdochcracy or Branston Pickled)

  • JamesHaughton2 James Haughton (@JamesHaughton2) reported

    @JackPittBrooke Going on to the Super League, would those owners have wanted games on the BBC or another Freeview channel? They might even have considered a Super League version of MOTD too much content not to put on their own streaming service or in a very expensive TV contract

  • HiberniaLife Mary White (@HiberniaLife) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi there. I know this is not your issue but someone i know wants to get RTE Irish tv in northern ireland but only a couple of channels are coming through. What can she do to pick them all up? Are some Irish channels on UK Freeview also?

  • quidditys_shore Stuart Galloway (@quidditys_shore) reported

    @BBCSport It's not just dab. Constantly cutting out on BBC sounds, google speaker & freeview. Maybe something to do with major Internet outages yesterday (itvhub & playstation I noticed) as playstation is down again for me

  • Amanda45887585 Amanda (@Amanda45887585) reported

    @DisorderAwesome Only have freeview I think. Don’t pay for any service

    @firstdogonmoon 7minus. Commercial TV or freeview gets a big NO from me regardless of what's on. Some exceptions made for SBS which should never have been forced down that road.

  • FrancineFishpa4 Francine Fishpaw (@FrancineFishpa4) reported

    @ToryRambo @GBNEWS Most signal issues on any Freeview channel are due to the Transmitters and also weather. None of this can be fixed by @GBNEWS or any TV or Radio channel.

    @scrane__ @GBNEWS 1/2 I wasn't keen on #NanaAkua being replaced anyway, but when I seen him, I soon found out he was a ****. I didn't hang around either. His schedule was sent to #Freeview by #GBNews on Monday, or was it Tuesday? It went on our TV EPG's straight away. Today, Nana's new show..

  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    The Freeview signal is also not helping out with the BBC Olympics coverage right now... over the Discovery+ again...
