    @jinxyjane1960 @BBCNews Incredibly naïve comment. I realise not everyone will see tough times, but this is going to cause all kinds of problems. Even me on my £8 mobile contract and Freeview. I don't see it as unpopular, I see it as something that has no idea what many will face.

    @SimonJeremyMil1 @ThatsTVOfficial Same down in the South of Uk. We watch on satellite but would be handy to get it on freeview

  • don_mac D Mac (@don_mac) reported

    @hairychesters Our only saving grace is that its on Freeview 785 or something - no ****** watches it all the Gammons have to wade through 5 channels of WW2 docs and Bargain hunt to get to it the temptation to never reach it is too high!

    @basestacking Check Freeview for the terrestrial channels in your area, and retune a couple of times to see if you get more stations. I use a Humax and smart tv so I can record TV programmes, but you should be able to just plug it into your tv. I find non-HD progs get a better signal.

    @FreeviewAdvice Good morning. No Freeview service at LL65 2LL. Is this a general problem in the area?

  • McCartneyHarvey Harvey 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@McCartneyHarvey) reported

    Why isn’t the match on Freeview? **** you @SkySports, you really love to ruin sports. England matches should be free to watch #ENGCIV

  • MapleFiltered Gruffalo Trace ❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❤️ (@MapleFiltered) reported

    @4Viewers evening, are you having issues with All4 on Freeview play? Not appearing at all on the catch-up services list or the apps page. Working ok last night, nothing changed with TV

    @jacquihughes17 @Spiritofgaia0 Is it that good ?? When there is Freeview, Youtube & box sets My son signed me up to Netflix/Prime but I can honestly say I have never watched either & I certainly will not since they started paying Chocolate & Ginger millions for doing Zilch

    @did_40 @lomelindi12 Can you both listen to the repeat of Health Check on the World Service at 1.30pm online via smart speaker, sounds, on DAB, Freeview? A very big feature on MS which seems to offer hope and it does seem reliable what they talk about it.
