  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

  • genders_jason Jason Genders (@genders_jason) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @bod_uherald Blocked if trying to watch it via Sky but available with no issues on freeview. My channel is 866.

  • tvark TVARK (@tvark) reported

    BBC Three returns to Freeview on Tuesday so you may need to retune your TV or set-top box. BBC Three will be on channel 23, DaveJaVu moves to 25. All other channels between 25 and 85 all move down 1 place on the programme list. Ideal World is now on 51, TJC on 22. Happy retuning!

    Wow... freeview is **** but in this case, beggars cannot be choosers

  • NeilRBowers Neil Bowers (@NeilRBowers) reported

    @skytv Hi, Sky Arts is available on FreeView but I get very poor TV reception. How can I watch it online? I have a TV Licence.

  • RonanCollins29 DjRonanC #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #ReleaseTheAyerCut (@RonanCollins29) reported

    @SAORVIEW Not many channels, it be great if you added music, more entertainment and movie channels to your service we are living in 2022 and the UK has over 85 Freeview and Ireland has 11 channels. What's the point of paying for a TV licence.

  • deirdrethompson deirdre thompson (@deirdrethompson) reported

    @KayBurley @BBCRadio4 Really..I've had to cancel my sky subscription as I could no longer afford it..I now rely on freeview..how very "80's" of me

  • ukdtt UK Terrestrial TV (@ukdtt) reported

    Channel 23, BBC THREE, has been added to PSB1 (East W) (was unlisted [Service 0x10c0]) #Freeview

  • edstub207 Eddie Stubbington (@edstub207) reported

    Sky forces you to have a specific bundle with some packages and says "You get 300 Channels for £25 a month" meanwhile Freeview has 170 of them already & most of the new ones are garbage like Poker TV and some random news channels.

  • Carpe177 Anthony Carpenter (@Carpe177) reported

    Why does Amazon Prime cut off my tv, comes up telling me I have a Reuter problem when I'm now on Freeview ch 23 Dave ja vu? Rick Stein. (Oh, I'm Not on internet a year now, or its tv. A too costly scam! Now Use 4G.)
