    @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

    @GBNEWS The problem with Freeview 236 is the signal is so poor, with unwatchable screen and unlistenable sound. I wish you could make it like the others.

  • MsKinLondon Katrina Buchanan 💙💚 (@MsKinLondon) reported

    I've discovered the most fantastically awful programme on a Freeview channel. Script, direction, acting all splendidly and spectacularly dreadful. I am completely hooked

  • themikei mikey (@themikei) reported

    @CyclingScience1 @JHesterdrums @lavuelta If you're watching on Freeview then there's nothing that can be done, the spectrum available for the service has been reduced and some channels removed, that's down to decisions made by the British government.

  • StephenAkehurs1 Stephen Akehurst (@StephenAkehurs1) reported

    @ThatTimWalker @skytv Was thinking of cancelling Sky and going back to Freeview as never anything on worth watching. This just about confirms it!

  • spectral_song SpectralSong 💙🇺🇦 (@spectral_song) reported

    @deathofbuckley Echoes of Price & Andre, on your screens soon. Prob Ch5 or some Freeview repeats crap. Now let me tell the world all about my life. No takers? Phew! Couldn't be arsed anyway. Not that needy.

    @adrianweckler Zero interest in Sky for TV. We got rid of it in 2009 with last recession and just watched freeview available channels. People don't realise just how many channels you can watch for free, its fairly decent. Can signup/cancel streaming service as needed then. Big cost savings
