    @NetflixUK as gone shit pay to see old flims that you get free on Freeview so what's the point 👊👊👊👊👊

  • 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

  • terencegarner terence garner (@terencegarner) reported

    @GBNEWS @afneil I can't get Freeview only Sky and I've never heard of YouView.

  • buildknuckle In the Center of That Large Circle... (@buildknuckle) reported

    @kisekinasuteki Ah so that's what it was. Sucks because I don't even know if I can follow the race live since it isn't on Freeview nowadays. :/

  • TonyJWells TJ is not hiking (@TonyJWells) reported

    @smolrobots Fires up the Roku. So probably 60 seconds behind the freeview signal.

  • IanDavies84 Ian (@IanDavies84) reported

    @bt_uk OK cheers. I will double check through my freeview on my TV though. I used to be able to get it but maybe somethings changed. Cheers for your help

  • Oldcynic9 GrannyB. (@Oldcynic9) reported

    @GBNEWS @jf_hanley I'm really upset we won't be able to watch on our bedroom freeview tv as our signal is from a relay transmitter & not a main transmitter. We only have virgin on the main downstairs TV. 😡

  • Obi1_Shinobi 𝐍Ⓘℕ𝓳ค (@Obi1_Shinobi) reported

    @Alichat66 @TheBembridge Nothing on freeview/freesat or don't you have that? I'm just going to use catch up service as I refuse to pay for BBC rubbish

  • brundellfilimou Mike Benjamin (@brundellfilimou) reported

    @talkRADIO @mrmarkdolan The alternative funding. A wholly subscription model can’t be applied to radio and there is no UK news service not on freeview. So you could phase out the licence fee over and allow the BBC to compete for adv and sponsorship. I bet that will go down well with News Corp.

  • misspallen Polly Allen (@misspallen) reported

    @speshmagiclady I wish we had foreign language TV on Freeview to help people get over their apathy around other languages - British people would be much more engaged with learning if the words were passively around them and they could just dip into watching a telenovela or something.

  • pdockerty Paul Dockerty - 🇬🇧 (@pdockerty) reported

    Does anyone know if @GBNEWS will be available through Sky Q? Or will I need to flip the TV to freeview (which I never do normally) to watch it?

  • Crocidolite11 Crocidolite (@Crocidolite11) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Yep will be doing. Just noticed you’ve also put up my bill to over £100 now without any notice. I’ll contact to cancel you can come collect your equipment and I’ll go freeview. Absolutely shocking prices.
