  • AlanToms14 They call me Arlan. (@AlanToms14) reported

    @Andrea25079843 Ditched Virgin a couple of weeks ago. Our freeview signal is poor but we haven't missed 'normal TV ' as we have Netflix Etc. Although I did miss watching Palace stuff the Gunners on Monday night. Also ditched phone line as we never use it except to recieve calls from scammers

  • NoirMJ Matthew Black (@NoirMJ) reported

    Made the mistake of watching the WDF Darts World Championship on 'Quest' (12, Freeview). It's SO slow that one of the players had a hairline when the match started. Though, the action (if you can call it that) is still better that Paul Nicholson's commentary...

  • ShaneRosser20 Shane Rosser (@ShaneRosser20) reported

    @MrKennethClarke I never watch Question time because I am always asleep at that time but I leave the TV on but on any other channel except the BBC on Freeview. @MrKennethClarke

  • pilgra01 Alf (@pilgra01) reported

    @GBNEWS Once people cancel the Sky or Virgin or BT tv packages and just watch Freeview - if they are still in poverty maybe some Domestic Science lessons on how to cook from ingredients - easy

  • Andicurrie Andi Currie (@Andicurrie) reported

    The LG C1 oled is incredible! However @LGUK why is the EPG on your freeview so slow and constantly loading? Never had these issues before, its painful to use.

  • 3Legs4Wheels 3Legs4Wheels (@3Legs4Wheels) reported

    @alexstanger1993 @C4Sport The best/worst one was a Freeview retune that took ITV4 off terrestrial TV over here so people actually struggle to watch the TT

  • SimplyMetric Kevin Hall 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 ☮️ (@SimplyMetric) reported

    @janmicham @RobertCooksley3 @lionelbarber It'll remain free to view but it'll be an emaciated stick figure showing 30 year old repeats of Countdown. Have a look down the Freeview TV guide for what this brave new world looks like.

  • GordyPls iGordy 2.0 (@GordyPls) reported

    I got a new TV and now standard free to air TV looks terrible because streaming services understand nice TVs exist and Freeview appears to basically have ignored everything that happened in TVs since about 2007.

  • rainbow7uk rainbow7uk (@rainbow7uk) reported

    @DorsetCouple @desertcactus100 @BBCOne Watch UK freeview channel 66. Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). Evangelical Christian Channel.

  • NotreRene Our René (El Dios) (@NotreRene) reported

    @ciscokid1690ao1 @SkySports There are. But that would then involve watching something transmitted by Our Sly. I used to pay £90 a month for what was essentially Freeview. Cancelled it. Never looked back.
