  • darrksquid Kate🇪🇺 (@darrksquid) reported from Bonnyrigg, Scotland

    Ok, Peanut Gallery, what is a decent news/current events show available on Freeview that I can watch for 15 minutes in the morning before work with my cereal? I can't do Piers Morgan, and BBC Breakfast IS pretty poor, I'll admit.

  • oddurbauer Oddur Gunnarsson Bauer (@oddurbauer) reported

    @GoonerWaffle @LauraKirk12 Just a quick pointer from an Icelandic native, you can get the Freeview channels here if you get your internet service through a company called Kapalvæðing.

  • juedan3 Julie (@juedan3) reported

    @ToshibaUSA when will the software be updated for the fire TV I purchased from @ArgosHelpers in October 22 re the picture flickering black. You say it's an issue with Freeview and the software on the tv

  • SmallCurtains Jen (@SmallCurtains) reported

    Has anyone else's #FREEVIEW signal disappeared?

  • MarkSzczepansk3 Mark szczepanski (@MarkSzczepansk3) reported

    Couldn't get a good Freeview signal anyway

  • MissBookay SB 🌻🏳️‍🌈🖤🥶 (@MissBookay) reported

    of all the streaming services I use (there are many as I don't have freeview, sky or virgin) @ITV is by far the worst... works as and when it wants, freezes, jumps, and won't let you pause/rw or fw... thank goodness I don't watch many of their shows...

  • AuntieDrJo GarethM (@AuntieDrJo) reported

    Are the shows on ITVX going to end up on Freeview eventually? Mostly the Plebs special and Nolly. Don't really get why they're exclusive to that platform when it's a free service. (Have an old telly, it works for getting channels but the apps on there don't work)

  • KiwiBuschman Phillip Busch (@KiwiBuschman) reported

    @TVNZ morning. What's up with your Freeview signal for tv1, tv2 and Duke channels? No signal? But all good coming through sky?

  • Gpearce555 Greg (@Gpearce555) reported

    Absolutely stupid that Amazon has made watching Parcs and Recreation now almost unbearable to watch because even though you still have prime you still have to watch it through their Freeview service so there's no way to get rid of the ads...
