    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

    @Sillyshib Heartbeat, ssshhh, it's never been off. You can watch Heartbeat every day on freeview

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

    Sitting in be watching #TV for the last half hour and all of a sudden the picture and sound start failing! One of the neighbours must be walking about. It’s getting so bad I’ll have to change channel! #Freeview

  • AlexBransby05 Branners NCFC (@AlexBransby05) reported

    @frooter_tooter @valorantpunzo It was on a kids channel called Pop, which was essentially the closest thing Freeview owners could get to Cartoon Network without paying. If people had those channels they wouldn’t watch much Pop so that’s why

  • Originsingamer zinorigins (@Originsingamer) reported

    @Potatoe_Waffles @Machobeard4life It's on itv 4 not itv 1, still need to buy a freview box or have a TV with freeview built in, then you have to factor in that not everyone's signal would be perfect on freeview, so they will more likely use fite TV or subscribe to itv hub or britbox, it's not free TV at all

  • NargacugaGale 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒔 𝑾𝒊𝒇𝒖 (@NargacugaGale) reported

    Dear Freeview, why do you always air the same **** from night's ago? Or stuff like movies, which where shown a week ago? Do you know how many movies and show's there is? Change thing's up cause repetitive crap every day, every week of every month of the year- ain't worth paying

  • phineascampbell phineas campbell (@phineascampbell) reported

    @cknoblock17 I've never watched it does it still broadcast on freeview?

  • Rusthallred Rusthall Socialist (@Rusthallred) reported

    @MikeTappTweets Why’s this **** on uk freeview?

  • the_saffman J (@the_saffman) reported

    @GMB @Keir_Starmer on freeview your clock is an hour slow

  • donaloflynn Dónal O'Flynn (@donaloflynn) reported

    @ApeGugas @Choyaa13 Was that really a thing back in the day? Never occurred to me before. Of course, nowadays all of the channels are in the same Freeview multiplex from the same mast.

  • trickytrev30 Trev (@trickytrev30) reported

    My TV signal here is terrible, so the only Freeview streaming news channel that I get at the moment is RT. 🙄

  • terrymccrum Terry McCrum (@terrymccrum) reported

    @SkyUK It is really not good. Switches itself off even when set not to ! The playlist doesn’t always work- you can only watch stuff as agreements are valid & some stuff is immediately unavailable! Many channels missing which are on satellite. Rewind / ffwd poor. No real Freeview etc
