  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @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

  • EstelleBisset Estelle Bisset (@EstelleBisset) reported

    @jayrayner1 There are that many choices of chanels today that even with just freeview there are loads of alternatives so don't see the problem🤔

  • deb_the_dj Deborah Marshall 💙 (@deb_the_dj) reported from Sandiacre, England

    @ExmoorOn Never thought to ask to be honest. Luckily I can get Radio Northampton on Freeview so at least I can listen in.

  • DavePennington Dave Pennington (@DavePennington) reported

    @MartinSLewis My 55" OLED TV costs 57p a year on Standby. Freeview box, 40p. Damn those pesky EU efficiency rules, saving me money! 🤔🇪🇺

  • nisbetbryce Nisbet Bryce (@nisbetbryce) reported

    @BootstrapCook Sometimes. The cabling should work fine so long as the box and your TV have an HDMI port. Problem might be whether the Freeview signal in your area is strong enough to be picked up by a small aerial.

  • AbuAqilah1 Abu Aqilah (@AbuAqilah1) reported

    @Daily_Express Saw that yesterday for the first time as it's suddenly appeared on my Freeview. Good grief it's awful!

  • leckston Heather (@leckston) reported

    @petemorristwit Simples- the @BBC should be on Freeview or a subscription service. They've screwed the British public for too long.😡

  • alexander_qosfc Alexander (@alexander_qosfc) reported

    @scottiepark45 @BBCSportScot I agree, I'd much rather it was freeview, but 2 things: 1)It isn't the SFA that sold the rights it was UEFA, so not much could be done about it 2)There have been 'positive' talks about free to air games, which never happened with Sky Hopefully it ends up being better for the fans

  • Brazenvamp Hannah #reclaimthestreets (@Brazenvamp) reported

    @BootstrapCook @_SarahAlice_ Can you drill through the floor and feed it through? Anyway I used to use a smart TV to watch freeview with no issues x

  • badmachinery John Allison 🕴 (@badmachinery) reported

    @joelist This is very interesting. PBS have a UK Freeview channel so you'd think they could just show it there if they really wanted to, but they don't (and never have) owned the rights. I read that a lot of Sesame Street's income was from DVDs, and that has now vanished.
