    @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

    @DrewLawDesign A few saying Everett, I liked him in the 70s as a kid but I watched it the other week on Freeview and it was cringy as **** really really ****. Best left of n the 70s I think. Anyway has to be Ken Loach.

    @thewelshteacup Ugh. Poor you. Have you retuned your digital tvbox? New freeview channel 7, That's TV. 70s night. It's fab. Worth not sleeping for!

  • Takethatjoe Gerald Smith 🤢 (@Takethatjoe) reported

    @darrengrimes_ Blame the government, what is your solution as to how it is funded? Advertising is out as the market is saturated, subscription is out as it’s on freeview

  • looplady Louise Rossiter 💙 (@looplady) reported

    @simontucker1979 Or if it was on S4C it would be on after 9pm... like TFI Friday. My mind was blown when we could get Channel 4 through Freeview or whatever... I never knew TFI was a 6pm show!

    BBC Three returns to Freeview on Tuesday so you may need to retune your TV or set-top box. BBC Three will be on channel 23, DaveJaVu moves to 25. All other channels between 25 and 85 all move down 1 place on the programme list. Ideal World is now on 51, TJC on 22. Happy retuning!

    Sky forces you to have a specific bundle with some packages and says "You get 300 Channels for £25 a month" meanwhile Freeview has 170 of them already & most of the new ones are garbage like Poker TV and some random news channels.

  • Declan_M_Wilson Declan Wilson (@Declan_M_Wilson) reported

    @Knibbsey Yep. Noticed it yesterday. Hopefully soon in HD. Gloucester residents using Freeview however still get their news from the Midlands ☹. Sadly don't think there's a fix for that.

    @janetlucas728 @andjustice4some It is getting expensive yes. I had freeview, but my tv broke down Last year. So I have nothing now. I just watch stuff online. It doesn't really bother me tbh. But I occasionally miss out on a few things.

  • willis_talks Wayne Willis 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🌏🌳🎹🎙️🚶‍♂️💡🐾 (@willis_talks) reported from City of Kingston upon Hull, England

    I'm again having endless issues with #BBC #freeview channels not working in #Hull. I watch via @NOWTV box but I think it's a regional antenna issue. Is anyone else in Hull / Humber having trouble with receiving BBC channels?

  • SimplyMetric Kevin Hall 🇪🇺 (@SimplyMetric) reported

    @miffythegamer Basically a crap YouTube channel on Freeview. His Mam will be it’s one viewer.
