    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

  • 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

  • dappernorman Norman aka Dapper Rapper (@dappernorman) reported

    @TheSimonEvans What's interesting though is that Benny Hill was hounded out of town by us folk who thought ourselves 'right on' back then. 30 years later he's back on Freeview and - guess what - turns out some of it is awful a lot of it is surprisingly funny and creative.

  • Sixpenc97002536 Sixpence (@Sixpenc97002536) reported

    @misteronmac @BBCNews £5.27 per month smartphone, only freeview, don’t smoke & even teetotal so maybe give up the car & walk 30+ miles to work, work my 10 hrs & then walk 30+ home again … At 68, working in the back of beyond, up hill & down dale, with no public transport … I don’t think so 🙄

  • seanski44 Sean Riley (@seanski44) reported

    @drstevebagley yeah, but my point is more that the same content is separately uploaded on multiple platforms - so actually maybe rather than channels, these apps are like Sky/Virgin/Freeview. Some of which require login/pay, some of which don't.

  • VincentVanGrump vintendo BS (@VincentVanGrump) reported

    @afneil Why are you lot so ******* obsessed with shite from a century ago. You watch a History Channel documentary on Freeview and think you're all Whinston Churchill. Put the bunting down. You weren't even alive. YOU personally didn't win **** all. Learn from extremism. Be better.

  • MellyStark Melly Welly (@MellyStark) reported

    anyone else having issues getting #BBC channels on #Freeview tonight... all our others are fine. we're postcode SA65 #asktwitter

  • MolloyLaurence Laurence Molloy (@MolloyLaurence) reported

    Edinburgh tweeps: Has anyone been experiencing Freeview ITV & Ch4 issues since yesterday's rain shower? Our signal deteriorated the moment the heavens opened yesterday and it's still flaky today. I note no obvious issues on downdetector etc. (though issues were noted yesterday)

  • NeilHoskinsLDnH Neil Hoskins (@NeilHoskinsLDnH) reported

    @FreeviewTV Everybody is telling me that I can still access ITV Hub by other means, but that's not the point. The WHOLE POINT of Freeview Play is its simplicity. You just go back in time in the EPG and it launches the appropriate catch-up service. This change completely breaks that.

  • GaryYoung_RPO Gary Young (@GaryYoung_RPO) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @WilliamPoel Freeview blackout PO18 8JZ also...

  • Eon_Nova Nova Storm 🔜 SOTONFURS (@Eon_Nova) reported

    @kestenan I believe you can own a TV but you only need the License to watch their channels or something stupid. Can use a TV screen for a computer screen if it has no freeview built in. BUT i could be wrong...

  • storey966 Tynmar (@storey966) reported

    @Bert1897 @J0hn8ev @MikeKeegan_DM ******* you're stupid. If they stop the TV licence, how do you think they'll fund the BBC & the freeview platform? We'll just start paying for it through taxation.
