    @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

    @VirginMedia_TV Now that Com7 Freeview MUX is causing channels to close in droves and gems like Forces TV going forever, how about reducing you TV package prices, as I have about 150 channels of garbage which I never watch. How you can tout "modern TV" is beyond belief .

    @GBNEWS Don't watch Freeview any more. That would involve paying for a TV licence which would mean the BBC receiving money from me and that's not going to happen. It would also suggest I tacitly support the mainstream media which I don't; its news coverage is a tissue of lies.

  • FastRSolutions FastR Solutions Ltd (@FastRSolutions) reported

    @4CAnalytics @The_Expert_Eye Oh yes remember that. We gave up on Lost when it went to Sky, as we only had Freeview back then & I heard the ending was poor. It had lost its way before then. I quite liked watching Manifest aside from her eyebrows, need to catch up on that, as it's now on Netflix

  • ThatsTVOfficial That's TV (@ThatsTVOfficial) reported

    @Michael11923873 Yes, some areas of the UK including Humber will be able to receive both our local service (on channel 7 or 8) and our national services (on channel 65 and 91) on Freeview from tomorrow. These are all SD services. Pass on the message: Retune 30 June!

    @Deji500 Dreadful take this, Poindexter. One of the single worst and ignorant tweets I’ve ever read. Slam on the 10 minute freeview and have a tug, you daft get.

  • Superdeformer_ PS (@Superdeformer_) reported

    Virgin Media have written to us to let us know our bill is going up to £79. We only have the basic channels. Will be looking to cancel next month. We watch mostly Freeview channels anyway. Just need to find a good broadband provider (who supply a decent router)?

  • BillSar93780206 Bill Sargent (@BillSar93780206) reported

    @mi06572550 @CliffHangerLON @danwootton At least RT was pure comedy. GB News is like a mental ward - it's a mirror image of the cabinet. Never have so many angry, ill-informed non-book reading freaks been allowed on Freeview channel 8,000.
