  • thelobsterboy Paul Smith (@thelobsterboy) reported from Manchester, England

    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

    @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

  • DavidSwindells1 David Swindells (@DavidSwindells1) reported from Macclesfield, England

    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

  • spazhammer ⓦⒶⓃⓨⓔ the cotton headed ninnymuggins (@spazhammer) reported

    ... plus I get to watch the home highlights/finest TV available (plus some garbage/filler I still enjoy!) Instead of watching what's available on virgin/sky/Freeview, I get to choose whatever when I want. I don't get why others haven't. Other than technical skills/knowledge

  • PabloAllelli Pablo Allelli (@PabloAllelli) reported

    @GaryinScotland @mandapen Where can't you get Freeview? I can't get all the Freeview channels as I'm about as far away from a transmitter as you can get in the UK, and its not helped by my rubbish aerial, but I can still get at least a couple of dozen channels, even on a bad atmospherics day.

  • 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.

  • DecAppear Dylan Canning (@DecAppear) reported

    @rtenews Plenty of alternative channels on the UK freeview service, for anyone who's not interested.

  • LiamJones396 Liam Jones (@LiamJones396) reported

    On my holiday freeview experience, watching Taskmaster. UK TV isn’t doomed, good ****

  • 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 ;)

  • ChrisJA15486090 Chris - Cymry & European! #FBPPR (@ChrisJA15486090) reported

    @SteelDalek1 And then close down BBC4 to stop you watching that instead! Have they forgotten most people have Freeview, Sky or Virgin to find other programmes on???

  • gildy61 Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    @CardozoAth @SteelDalek1 But they have a 24 hour dedicated news channel broadcasting on Freeview. Freesat. Sky's platform and the internet so people could watch that. But to be sure you can't escape they close down their other TV networks or relay the same output across them all.

  • OmieAKA Omie (@OmieAKA) reported

    @andyjhpool @sha8erpr00f @mandapen Not that I'm a fan of the hyperbolic coverage , but almost everyone has either SKY or Freeview , both of which have HUNDREDS of other channels available. But now I can't get grandad off babe station. Damn you BBC !
