    @gary_worden @cjssydney @cptcapitalg @FrogAlaPeche Poor people either don't have a TV or watch freeview.

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

    @Hookademus @SpudFromDublin @MattAndo63 When my Virgin service goes down I switch to Freeview so still have Tv!

  • chrisk_hw Chris K #FBPE #Rejoin #3.5% (@chrisk_hw) reported

    @NickStevenson63 And also why are there so relatively few channels broadcast in HD on Freeview (and even fewer on Freesat if you live somewhere that gets crap Freeview signal)

  • Wendy_redRobin Wendy redRobin (@Wendy_redRobin) reported

    Any problems reported with BBC West transmissions to Gloucestershire? Ever since the thunderstorm this afternoon have no signal for BBC West from Mendip transmitter other Freeview channels from Ridge Hill transmitter are fine @FreeviewAdvice

    @Will68796790 I have for many years paid through Xbox as I am a carer for my Mother who watches freeview channels on the other TV I use my Xbox one to view BT Sports, and I would not risk using link's as they are unstable not on Xbox

  • cheltenhamlady anne selley (@cheltenhamlady) reported

    @Forces_TV have retuned my freeview TVs several times it never picks up Forces TV!!

  • HarryPie1862 HarryPie. 🤔 🥀😷 (@HarryPie1862) reported

    All broadcasters are bought, especially the state-owned & Tory party controlled BBC. But when billion pound missiles are directed at bringing down a broadcaster's HQ, your can bet your bottom dollar that broadcaster is less corrupted than others. Al Jazeera news Freeview 235

  • Borders750 Graeme Rendall (@Borders750) reported

    @THESPACEC0WB0Y Doubtful, although there's always the remote possibility that one of the UK news shows picks parts of it out. I don't think CBS is available on Freeview, just CNN, and from what I've seen of that, it's terrible.

  • unit_korg Korg Unit 🇬🇧🇧🇻🇺🇸 (@unit_korg) reported

    @tws4042 Just hold on a couple of more weeks, GB News is here on the 31st of May. Freeview Channel 236. The test signal is already broadcasting, you may have to re tune your TV.

  • ChrisDod1 solarSteve (@ChrisDod1) reported

    There's a new TV news station on the block starting soon on Freeview etc. GB News. To show your support for a healthy alternative to the usual BBC/ITN/Ch4/Sky News channel, search "New British... " on Facebook

    Currently trying to build up a Sky Q buffer for last night's SNL... does anybody else do this with their TiVo/SkyQ/Sky+/Freeview+/Freesat+ service? I've not watched an advert on TV for a long time. It means I often miss out on tweetalongs... But I feel it's worth it haha
