    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

    @Sonic_Sinclair @bbcmicrobot Technically it is, there's support for it in DVB. There's several channels on DVB satellite that uses it, not sure there's any on freeview. Certainly all the original services shutdown or moved to MHEG. The BBC mheg service was incredible but that's shutdown now too 🙁

    @Super_Novae3 TOO BAD I'M ON FREEVIEW!!!!!!!!!!

  • bakeliteguy Guy Roberts (@bakeliteguy) reported

    @Jan_208 It really does! I have no problem watching 405 line black and white especially with vintage content. The freeview box it is attached to seems to be stuck on @TalkingPicsTV !

  • JohnHog94627424 John Hogg (@JohnHog94627424) reported

    @MinettaLane freeview chanell 82 talking pictures show his films regularly trouble in store was on last week

  • FrannyJeffers72 FJ72 🇬🇧 (@FrannyJeffers72) reported

    @ramsay_wmramsay @MattSTKS @CraigMurrayOrg I would prefer it was on Sky or freeview TV. The issue here is with UEFA and the SFA as they are in charge of the TV rights. The UK or Scottish Government have no control over it.

  • cbrown0601 Christopher Brown (@cbrown0601) reported

    @virginmedia no broadband since 0730 on Tuesday - no engineer until Tuesday 11 April. Tv playing up too. What a Happy Easter treat. I am about to plug in my old rooftop aerial on Freeview for the weekend 😫

  • MattGunner32 Matt Gunner (@MattGunner32) reported

    @JVCSmartHome I have a LT-40CF890. TV is only operating via the apps and Wifi. Press any of the channel numbers and it comes up, but screen is blank and no sound. If I press Live TV button, it just shows Freeview and buffering. Tried unplugging TV but problem persists.

  • Besleybean Beverley Jean Smith (@Besleybean) reported

    Well, sadly an audit of my parents radiograms has proved fruitless... none of their units seem to support my favourite station. However, instead I managed to find them " that's 60s ", on their Freeview TV. It has thrown up some absolute gems, the three of us are singing away.

  • SusanHuskisson1 Susan Huskisson (@SusanHuskisson1) reported

    @qvcuk hi do you know why freeview channel 16 is not working? Not been able to receive for 2 days now. Just keeps saying service not running. Thanks Sue x

  • Savantfoxt Savantfoxt (@Savantfoxt) reported

    @KazzyAnnie1 I got fed up with Virgin internet dropping several times a day and the frequent sales calls. I switched to BT, 6 months later I haven't had a single outage or annoying sales call. Speed about the same but it depends on your area. Going freeview too is where I saved money.

    @smoothfuego1 Bro I grew up poor MTV base ? BET on freeview was the first time I saw black people on tv since they cancelled 6:30pm fresh Prince
