    @madaboutHolly @Lee_JM75 Who's watching this bad boy on Freeview channel 70 ,Horror, right now😁💩💩💩

  • 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.

    @itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

    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.

    @virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.

    @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…

    @SkyNews It’s a shame the picture on Sky News is terrible (Freeview). I’d of watched more on Sky News if the picture wasn’t so bad.

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    Ahead of BBC Four HD and CBeebies HD moving Freeview multiplexes later this month. Two new Service IDs - 18046 for BBC Four HD and 18176 for CBeebies HD have popped up on mux PSB3/BBC-B. Freeview users will soon be invited to retune their TV and/or boxes, likely 3rd week of June.

    It's great that AEW is on a freeview chanel and like it or loath it AEW tries to provide fan service to the hardcore audience. But in terms of introducing new fans to wrestling in the UK I can only imagine that it's niche product has a minimal impact.

  • HD2onPBdotcom Brian Corbett (@HD2onPBdotcom) reported

    @rogermosey Work on the transmitter near Manchester in the last month means that ALL BBC transmissions - national radio, local radio, SD TV and HD TV have ceased here: I cannot receive about 30% of the Freeview channels I have been getting over the last 6+ years. And retuning doesn't help

  • nufcJonny96 Jonny Eves (@nufcJonny96) reported

    How bad is normal Freeview television. Wow

  • l_dont_know_her I Don't Know Her (@l_dont_know_her) reported

    Why ******** is ITV2 not in HD on Freeview? It's 2022 #LoveIsland

  • PGrundberge chaiseburgers (@PGrundberge) reported

    @MattBrocklebank out, on Freeview, which is often a furlong behind the action. A poor show from them, as good as some (italics) of the commentators might be.

  • PeterCh94072762 Peter Christian (@PeterCh94072762) reported

    @ToniBeeson2 @johnburtons Hello Toni regarding recording father brown I am with sky so I can record and record and save them up to watch but if I decided to cancel and use the box as a Freeview box you can't record on them you can only watch TV programmes unless you have got a dvd recorder set up 2 record
