    @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

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV The move from the Freeview HD multiplex to the SD one was much appreciated. As was the addition of a subtitling service to your channel : )

  • TheWarLlama The War Llama (Taylor's Version) (@TheWarLlama) reported

    @JSpaced10 Because the licencing for the Freeview crap is cheap. Original shows are not. Gotta maximise those profits, son.

  • roasty88 Ryan McVeigh (@roasty88) reported

    @WezzyStef907 I get that they want to move it their own service but can't see why they can't put it on one the UK Freeview channels they own like @paramountnet_uk for this season. Would be a ratings killer, advertise @paramountplus and stop piracy. Seems like a win for everyone there.

  • richardjacobs1 Rich Jacobs💙 (@richardjacobs1) reported

    @SimonBrodkin Similar goings on with mine. We need to compile a parental / grandparental FAQ to avoid the call outs. “Q: You think Freeview not working? A: press Input. Antenna = aerial = Freeview” My latest call out!

  • Shaunaskins121 Shaun askins (@Shaunaskins121) reported

    @itvnews Thank **** for bad reception on freeview won't have to watch this shower of shite

  • Fantastic__Mr Signore Fantastico (On Parler as @FantasticMr) (@Fantastic__Mr) reported

    @ANDIBABY8 I feel your pain there. I've only got the cooncil tv aka freeview so always having a battle with my ****** aerial for a signal lol

  • Shaunaskins121 Shaun askins (@Shaunaskins121) reported

    @SkyNews More shite tv to put up with am glad freeview still not working properly won't have to watch this crap

  • DavidHe47935675 David Hendry (@DavidHe47935675) reported

    @MissMarrple Wasnt the clue nautical in it? Thats the hint its in the question! Or suhin like that? There was a clue, I'm on poor person Freeview so can't rewind!

  • DJLujoso DJ Lujoso (@DJLujoso) reported

    Hehe.. I have worked out a way to get in & out of the ULEZ undetected. Gonna go scope it out in a bit. Trouble is, if it fails I'll have to pay TFL twelve quid & I won't know if it works for three days... Beats sitting in watching freeview, eh?

  • peteprodge Pete Prodge (@peteprodge) reported

    @leefreshprince I have a Sony Bravia which claims to allow Freeview recording to USB media, but doesn't. It can certainly read USB media but I've never got it to write. Streaming allows me to pause and rewind, unlike my main linear TV.
