    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.

    @HumaxUK FVP_5000T. Cannot go backwards in the EPG anymore. Players screen often doesn't launch properly, fixing me no way into Freeview Play providers. Live TV app doesn't work properly and have been updated in years. Any plans to fix any of this? #humax

    @thefulltoss @hainba67 Participation numbers in all sports are in decline regardless of whether its on freeview tv. The downward trend has been since the late 1980s. My research shows its more likely down to the fact sport is not played in state schools rather than tv.

    @MAGNETIC_DOGZ Basically you needed a paid service with certain companies to even get Nickelodeon, CN, ect on the TV. I grew up on the freeview channels, pop, cbbc, citv, all that.

    @h4y44t Babe it appears the maccies is also a literal Freeview - cancel your subscriptions now

  • StevenNT Steven Jones (@StevenNT) reported

    @russty_russ Did the likes of 4-Tel and the regional ITV text services remain? I had Freeview by then so don't recall but recall the 600 pages was the regional ITV text service ?

    I have a 50" Roku TV just purchased from Argos. I am in a weak reception area, if I scan on a good day I have HD freeview channels. If I turn on the TV next day and signal is weak the HD channels are completely removed and I have to do another scan - super annoying @HisenseUK

  • oliver_shergold Acid 🇺🇦 Mouse (@oliver_shergold) reported

    @lungz77_ @foxylocksy1 I have got Sky with basic Netflix coming Friday, maybe I will be able to see it. I had to do something to escape Freeview. It's that bad tonight I've got Heartbeat on. 😐

  • chimaira1967 mak (@chimaira1967) reported

    @NOW absolute thieves I pay for your service monthly and now your bombarding us with adverts as well, I can watch all the ads I want on freeview, drop the ads. I’d u want to run ads offer a lower price subscription, don’t implement it on everyone and ask for another £5

  • annie_mel_farm Her Maj, Annie MF 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇪🇺 (@annie_mel_farm) reported

  • TizerBawz TB (@TizerBawz) reported
