    @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

  • NotForMeThanksX 💚🌷olvpolv🌷💚 (@NotForMeThanksX) reported

    @theJeremyVine What kind of pathetic human beings complain that they don’t like the P/Philip coverage where there’s 472 other bloody freeview channels to watch? Ppl are truly stupid at times. Grow up. One moment in time & they complain. Go for a walk or do something else you slovenly idiots

  • annetteh703 Annette Wilson (@annetteh703) reported

    @LozzaFox Simple solution - use your remote, most TVs these days have Freeview and a lot have Sky or Virgin, so plenty of other channels to watch.

  • Farmo05 Caro JH 🇬🇧🇳🇴🇺🇸🇨🇦🇮🇱🇸🇪🇩🇪 (@Farmo05) reported

    @cornwell167 @gillstewart56 Totally agree not all agreed to wall to wall tributes but Freeview is free, not a paid for service.

  • jamespdrury James Drury (@jamespdrury) reported

    @hmd_db @TraceyRBurns @michaeljswalker Completely untrue, Freeview (the bare minimum TV service without internet or dish) carries far more than BBC channels and Channel 4. The inability to use ones TV is not the BBCs fault.

  • myroelad Myroelad (@myroelad) reported

    @talkRADIO Would be great if all of uk could Tune in on freeview. Rather than Lbc, which has gone down hill Of late

  • jamespdrury James Drury (@jamespdrury) reported

    @hmd_db @TraceyRBurns @michaeljswalker Can you not read? Having no internet is not a barrier to choice, nothing poor about it... No, I don’t mind, it’s their editorial choice and if I didn’t want to watch I could watch something else (I did, on Freeview, not streamed) have a fine evening, not watching the BBC ;)

  • Alan_S_Morrison Alan S. Morrison MBA MCIPR Accredited🖋️📸📢🥰🕸️ (@Alan_S_Morrison) reported from Forfar, Scotland

    @nowaffle Never more TV choices, even just on Freeview. No-one making anyone watch BBC.

  • diamondbadger Paul Fung (@diamondbadger) reported

    So, are we doing this? That’s right. #EmperorOfTheNorth live tweeting. Right now. @TalkingPicsTV Freeview channel 81. TONIGHT WE CARRADINE IN HELL (works written down)

  • 613Dogsbody Bob Janner 🇬🇧 (@613Dogsbody) reported

    @NeilfromScone @BritishAlba @MrHarryCole O dear. One day of being deprived of BBC content,you poor thing. Cant you get Sky news on freeview then. I haven't watched any BBC programmes for months because of their rubbish woke content, but no complaints line set up for that.

  • Sukiweeks 🎧 𝚂𝚞𝚔𝚒🩰 (@Sukiweeks) reported

    @toryboypierce @BBC We don’t just have 4 channels anymore, with tv on demand and freeview....this shouldn’t even be a issue anymore. Just watch something else.
