  • newpaulhearn Parliament Must Decide (@newpaulhearn) reported

    @danielmgmoylan @GBNEWS What's the Freeview channel number? Never watched it yet.

  • checkpointminx Hillman Minx owner 1965 starmerout (@checkpointminx) reported

    @rossaverde @BBCTees @amy_oakden The BBC applies for grants to help fund its research into broadcasting technology that has contributed to developments such as Freeview and DAB digital radio. In 2017-18 it received a grant from the EU of €1,282,331 (£1,145,572). source=BBC ... do keep up

  • explodingwalrus Carl Draper (@explodingwalrus) reported

    Don't buy @panasonic Freeview recorders if you want to keep more than a thousand recordings per drive, because that's the stupid arbitrary limit they've set on drives. Want to fill up that 6TB hard drive? Tough, the arbitrary limit means you'll barely full it up at all

    @5_News In Londond on freeview channel 105 the lip sink is so bad its not watchable. On freeview ch5 it's bad but you can just about watch.

    @Page_888 @russty_russ When there's a cheaper alterative for a quarter of the price, and there's a cost of living crisis - it's an easy cutback. If I was Radio Times King, I'd make print edition Freeview channels only and try and get price down to £2. Would mean a lot of changes to get there.

    @FrancisAShailes Hi Francis, I am so very sorry Freeview do not currently offer a service for computer or laptops via the web browser. To access content we would recommend you use the broadcasters websites such as BBC iplayer, ITV Hub, All4, MY 5, UKTV Play and Together TV via your PC.

    @helensclegel Not on Netflix, but Great TV (Freeview 50) has that kind of stuff, plus US done-to-deaths such as Murder, She Wrote. As someone with mobility issues, with a partner who has spent over a year recovering after a serious accident, I know about harmless crap TV.

  • CAJBuckland Charles Buckland (@CAJBuckland) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I was watching Challenge TV on Thursday evening on my TV with built-in Freeview. When I went to watch the same channel yesterday, a message “service is not running” appeared. Why has it been withdrawn without notice?

  • linktonian Iain Mackinnon (@linktonian) reported

    @noiseresearch My Dad used to call TV "chewing gum for the brain" I am watching less and less of it these days and have cut my Sky subscription down to the bare bones ( we get a very limited Freeview service of a handful of channels and there are signal issues in our area)

  • findjoyeveryday joy♿️ (@findjoyeveryday) reported

    @SatonmyButt @freesat_tv I pay 2.49 a month to remove ITV adverts. My Tv signal doesn’t work well enough for freeview anymore. It’s well worth it! Plus there is UKTV app with drama yesterday and Dave freeview channels (free but adverts)
