    @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

    @PhimisterJim @DaveMunrosCat I set that up at the old caravan.... not too bad. use freeview and stream Netflix etc via site WiFi (or phone if busy. 👍👍

  • SnapeHugh hugbilly (@SnapeHugh) reported

    @RadioTimes Thanks for the reply and I understand the intention. What is slightly more annoying is that the site no longer allows one to set a default service provider (i.e. Sky or Freesat.) I use Freeview and it used to be that once I'd selected that service as the provider the page would

    The @RadioTimes website used to be great, now it's terrible. Used to be able to hover over a programme and get a summary, now have to click through. Doesn't remember if you are Freeview or whatever.

  • DaveyBoi73 Dave ♿️ Esq (@DaveyBoi73) reported

    @Fibutton Which TV service do you use? Really is available on Freeview 17, Freesat 160, Sky 142, Virgin 129 and discovery+ UK.

    Watching a jaw-droppingly saccharine krimi on some freeview channel featuring crime-busting nun #SisterBonniface clearing up the phenomenally high murder rates in a twee 50s English village that makes #Midsomer look like 70s New York. Hypnotically horrible.

  • spidermanmsy Francis (@spidermanmsy) reported

    @AdrianEdmondson It's the amount of bloody repeats that gets me...even hours/days rolling films that aren't changed for 2 - 3 weeks 🙄 Even the older films repeated...must be 1k's films that haven't seen daylight gotta be better than current crap! This is of course re freeview tv channels!

  • CSI_Pete Pete Wright (@CSI_Pete) reported

    @bt_uk Hi. If I cancel my BT TV, what services would the box be left with please. Just freeview and the recorder? Or completely nothing. Things getting too expensive. Thanks.

  • timway Tim Way (@timway) reported

    Dear @SkyNews. Please can you take over the HD channel of RT on Freeview? I’m sure @Ofcom can help make this happen quickly.

  • S829MLY Asterism MS13 (@S829MLY) reported

    @PurplejelloS @itvnews I was watching terrestrial TV via an aerial on #Freeview before #ThisMorning went off air and the TV signal kept going, I lost all channels so I'm not sure it was down to TV centre....
