    @BoostTorbay @AndrewBrazier1 Never used the first two options. Very much old school. None of the fancy pants Sky or Virgin Media either. Just plain old Freeview for me

    @TheAzzo We are suckers for Sky/Virgin, and our telly has all the apps and services etc etc. Can't remember that last time I used freeview telly 😬 Our Internet is also RIDIC so we have no streaming issues at all.

  • Happytoberight Need to Know (@Happytoberight) reported

    @canadiancarol1 Returned your freeview tv and watch @talkTV channel 237 starting 25th April. @GBNEWS will have to rethink its crap news. As for the rest don't watch them either.

    @Mrs_Quickly I wouldn't even steal it on a hooky box literally worthless. No intrinsic value, yet idiots fork out anywhere from £20-£120 a month for the meritricious crap served up by murdoch and 90% plus of what they watch is on #freeview

    @RestoreTVHelp I’ll post your response into the Facebook Group in question. There are about 6 people reporting recent problems with Freeview through an aerial in Llantwit Major. I’ve put a generic postcode for the town into your checker and it’s an area which should have received your postcards

  • elniedunne Eleanor Greene (@elniedunne) reported

    @AnnMSinnott @Virgin We have sky phone and broadband. Freeview TV, never bothered paying for extra.

    @Centuries_Sound @scottygb I always wonder why on earth the BBC doesn't use one or more of the Freeview channels to broadcast programs from its archive. There are hundreds of wonderful old shows that never get seen. Wasted opportunity 🙁
