  • 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

  • neilmclaughlin2 neil mclaughlin (@neilmclaughlin2) reported

    @LiamODellUK Well over half of freeview channels never use subtitles, time all channels are required to use them as part of licence

  • BinteKhalid82 ****-e-Khalid (@BinteKhalid82) reported

    @MahamOfficial_2 Is PTV Sports broadcasting in UK? We don't want to buy Sky sports subscriptions so plz help us to find any freeview channel to watch #T20WorldCup2021.

  • AdamW48812662 Adam W (@AdamW48812662) reported

    @Mistertonmick74 @SkyHelpTeam Tv is on the wall so unlikely. Next Sunday Man Utd vs Liverpool. If WiFi goes down don’t think I’d be overly impressed with just freeview channels at £100 a month

  • sustainbritons Sustainable Briton (@sustainbritons) reported

    I would like #vegansuk just to take a look at how farmers care for their animals. With sheep, look at what they supply beyond meat. Go out buy wool to insulate your homes, insulate yourselves. Never think an animal is wasted. Freeview 82 now @Katehumble make nature work) #vegans

  • 80percentvegan Proper Forte (@80percentvegan) reported

    I don’t have Netflix so I watched a Poundland version of a series on some **** on some freeview channel. Quid Game was a bit **** tbh

  • DavidBoink David ***** (@DavidBoink) reported

    @Dandlio19372821 because the #freeview signal is so bad at the moment and boosted by sky & virgin, you'd be better off watching it straight off the telly

  • ChamarelDesigns Chamarel Designs (@ChamarelDesigns) reported

    @greatmoviesuk I’ve been watching GreatMovies Christmas since it launched for this year and it’s just disappeared mid-movie this evening. It returned but with a split screen. Unplugged tv & still had the issue so I auto retuned & now channels 51 AND 49 don’t exist on my freeview!

  • AvifaunaLux2 Avi Lux 2 🌸 (@AvifaunaLux2) reported

    @louisebentley10 I've never seen and I missed it if it came up on Freeview. It never seems to air on Freeview now. I don't subscribe to paid services/streaming. I wish whatever channel aired it would show it again.

  • vickysharp1 Vicky Sharp (@vickysharp1) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice cheers Freeview. Totally ruined the ending of Pearl Harbour tonight with your weak signal. Sort it out!!

  • CooroSnowFox 🦊 Auro D. Hikoshi 🦊 (@CooroSnowFox) reported

    @deathbyjulmust I never really cared and they were always on the the channel before freeview was a thing.
