    @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

    @TelevisionGold @TalkingPicsTV I've never seen this but don't have any of the options to watch it 😭 (only Now, Prime, Netflix - no Freeview/Sat/Virgin etc). Will it be available on your encore service?

  • TheDailySledge William (@TheDailySledge) reported

    @dilusionalworld @glenpen60 @SkyNewsAust I have never watched it, we use the the station block of so I don't have to deal with tabloid TV BS, the station was a failure on pay-per-view so had to move to Freeview to get anyone to watch the biased BS their shock-jocks waffle on about, watching it can give you brain damage

    Help! So I’ve moved into a new house. My internet is set up and working but when I go onto my TV and try to access my catch up channels it will only pick up BBC and ITV? Any ideas? I need channel 4?!! #Freeview #OnDemand #Channel4 @virginmedia

  • MatOfTheDead MatOfTheDead (@MatOfTheDead) reported

    @andyAVAVsystems yeah seemed to me that people just either upgraded to HDTVs with freeview built in or just brought cheap boxes never knew of anyone who actually used topup tv

  • UKurbanite UK Urbanite (@UKurbanite) reported

    @DefundBBC The problem with a subscription service, it that it needs subscription hardware. When Freeview first appeared, receivers often included a card slot, allowing encrypted channels to be decoded. If similar functionality still exists, I've seen no sign of it.

  • DonnyA05 Donny (@DonnyA05) reported

    @BillyNelsonBox @MartinBakole17 400k on a freeview station involving a home fighter, that’s horrible

  • MrHilariouskiwi Mr. Kiwi (@MrHilariouskiwi) reported

    @FoxyLustyGrover Who funds those crap TV channels Shine TV etc? Why are they even on Freeview? How did they get there? Who decided?

  • PhantomFreak James Muirhead (@PhantomFreak) reported

    @Channel4, you guys aware that on Virgin cable, @PackedLunchC4 has a black line at top of image (like image has been moved down). Doesn't effect adverts or other C4 channels. Also seems fine on Freeview!

  • dearaunty .Dear Aunty (@dearaunty) reported

    @matthewmoloney Awful movie - next time its on freeview i will give it a whirl - I'm not promising though!

  • silverwind9999 silverwind (@silverwind9999) reported

    @compo99 @irishkazza @BorisJohnson I have an old phone, don’t smoke or drink, only have freeview, haven’t been on holiday in over a decade, never owned designer anything, have had the same old trainers for years and have only gotten one small tattoo in the last 5 years that I saved up for for months. Try again 🙄
