    @LeafNWS @a516digital I know what leaf network is getting at, like what I found out about getting ip. Yes you can get freeview play etc, but it's not free after paying an ISP.! It's like getting channel box, it's free, once you pay your ISP.

    @producerjoe On my Freeview list it's with the other HD channels right down before the radio stations. And you can get to it quicker if you scroll up from BBC 1 and past the radio channels..

    We don’t have Freeview at home never bothered to get it installed. Spending a couple days at the beach and switched on the tv and omg Suzanne Paul is still there, she’s like an operating system relic you can’t dispose of.

    @TimProviseNZ @maoritv Managed to track down your appearance Freeview on Demand. Someone needs to give you a TV slot & stop wasting money on **** like Jono & Ben/ Guy Williams.

  • DJLujoso DJ Lujoso (@DJLujoso) reported

    I've seen no news about any protest In any part of the UK by any of the mainstream 'news' providers on Freeview. There's a lot of the usual gun-totin' **** from the USA, **** knows why we have to watch that, the usual corporate sport garbage - we know why we have to watch that...

    @ITSBIGTONE @FreeviewTV On other social media freeview is now being called crap tv. I'd have to say the service is disgusting and a note to advertiser using freeview platform. Waste of cash thousands are being denied a signal
