  • Itoldyerso John - Let’s get on with it! (@Itoldyerso) reported

    @Patricia344130 Live TV probably yes. Find lots of ‘old’ repeats, which never had time to watch, are now much more interesting. Thank goodness for Freeview.

  • iamnotmiserable Marc Smith (@iamnotmiserable) reported

    @utb_smith @jimbobity If Grimes was an advert he'd be one of those twenty minute long ones they stick on Freeview in the dead of night, flogging **** air fryers and granite based pans. A lot of talk and when the gear shows up its third rate tat.

    @bbcintrowest when are you coming back to @bbcsomerset ? The current version is awful. All devon and cornwall. So have to use freeview to listen to you.

    @UBn9ohogz0XOFWP @GBNEWS To watch I need a TV license, a freeview signal or Sky subscription, and an HD TV. I don't have any of those. Oh, and even if I had Sky I would have to pay extra for GB News

  • joeylk71 Joanne Gray (@joeylk71) reported

    @LarryBundyJr Neither of them carrying the Freeview signal then?

  • thisisrjg Dr Jamiebear 🐻 (@thisisrjg) reported

    TIL my mum likes to tune in to the awful Freeview religious channels in order to laugh at their output and I've never been so proud.

  • TalkTalk TalkTalk (@TalkTalk) reported

    @Cowgirl_Em Do you see the 'weak or lost signal' when viewing freeview channels? Cheers, Andy

    Only real gripe about motel: the TV is increasingly useless for Freeview when more channels (both HD and SD) are using MPEG-4. Which kinda shows the age of the TV. But at ~$90 a night, it's a very small complaint.
