  • 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

  • tommieharve t harvey (@tommieharve) reported

    @Elemjay1 Oh that's really fantastic - now I feel confident I can go into battle with my 'freeview jesus' sword in hand. He is so ridiculous, I sometimes really want to give him a bit of a hug. And then I think, **** it, let him burn in the toxins he spews, nothing to see here etc etc.

  • DaveCha84664604 Dave Chapman (@DaveCha84664604) reported

    @LBC @IainDale @David_Dimbleby So how will the network that provides all the Freeview channels be paid for. The licence is not just for BBC content.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @NicCop_avfc @FreeviewTV Hi Nicki, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • ukfreeviewfilms Movies today on Freeview (UK) (@ukfreeviewfilms) reported

    STARTING SOON : Bad Boys for Life (2020) | IMDB: 6.5 | Film4 | 09:00pm-11:25pm Freeview:14 Sky:853 Virgin:428 BT:14 Freesat:300

  • artman146 David Carvell (@artman146) reported

    @PeteEva06681310 @Matthew78840327 If you watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat), you need to be covered by a TV Licence. If you watch live streaming services (e.g. ITV Hub, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Sky Go), or use BBC iPlayer*, you need a TV Licence.

  • simonhardwick Simon Hardwick (@simonhardwick) reported

    Main transmitters (FM/DAB/freeview) etc will most likely have backups but I remember in the big storm of 1987 that wasn’t a huge help, only one AM station (BBC local) managed to remain on air. Worth having some batteries for your radio next to your torch. /7

  • KingJimmeh ~Jimmeh~ (@KingJimmeh) reported

    @jonrog1 @Blankzilla It was never the content, or really the ads that were the issue. It was the tech behind it. I don't know about cable boxes in the US, but set-top boxes for Sky and Freeview and most built-in TV guides and systems for getting to content were slow and awful.

  • mark_simpson Mark Simpson 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 (@mark_simpson) reported

    I thought Channel 4 HD regions were now A Thing but there are an awful lot of irrelevant adverts on the Ulster region Freeview feed. 🤔

  • Sophomania_101 Careful, I have Sophomania. (@Sophomania_101) reported

    @mettderk1 @ladbible Yep, if you don't wanna pay for their service use freeview etc, they're private company's you don't have to give them your cash, Why should I pay more because you don't wanna pay at all?

  • 4Viewers 4Viewers (@4Viewers) reported

    @mari_stewart1 Hi Mari, #All4 is not supported on the Android TV OS. If you are experiencing issues accessing All 4 via a Freeview Play service or YouView service in this TV then please let us know.
