    @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

    Hi @plex, Seasons Greetings to you all. I'm looking to add a USB TV device to my @NVIDIASHIELD, I'd prefer to use Freesat as it's better quality than Freeview but @HauppaugeHQ say you don't support DVB-S - is this likely to change anytime soon - especially as DVB-T is at risk?

    @paullewismoney Every other ad is abt gambling on freeview with the usual disclaimer, don't gamble too much, it's bad for you. Worrying & sad.

  • TheAndrewF Andrew F (@TheAndrewF) reported

    There's an old Benny Hill show on one of those cheapo Freeview channels. Obviously it's dodgy by today's standards, but more than that... it's just crap. So much for TV's golden age.

    @FreeviewTV, could you advise if there is an long term issue with freeview in the area of Surrey as it went down at 11am this morning, Christmas Day and it's not been working since #freeview

  • ChonjiGraham Graham Pitkin (@ChonjiGraham) reported

    @robbeckettcomic So not on Freeview? Can't. Oh well, never mind.

  • SofiaAkinJourno Sofia (@SofiaAkinJourno) reported

    Are you in support of the strikes? A YouGov poll revealed which union has the most support and which has the least support. 🚂 We’ll be asking Rochester residents today— watch Kent Tonight this evening to find out the results! 17:30-18:30. 🎥 Freeview 7 // Virgin 159

  • sugarcanebook E. E. Fry (@sugarcanebook) reported

    @virginmedia Also, losing all of our recorded programmes and movies yet again, unable to pre record any Xmas TV or movies, losing all of our favourites and our series links. FreeView and catch up have rendered the Tivo service sold to us as obsolete and we've not been offered any compensation

    @channel5_tv Thank goodness. Because TV over the holidays has been awful on all Freeview channels.

    My washing machine is now fixed, but I'm gonna nope out anyway lads, as my Freeview signal has gone rubbish in the wet weather we're having at the moment. #CovideoWed
