  • 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.

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

  • 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.

    @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…

    so until i can afford the upfront fees im pretty much stuck with virgin, but Sky have offered me ok speeds i think it did include basic freeview style tv which i wont use and phone but it has a 3 year price fix and is only a third of what im paying now

    @TVgroup_UK Hi, yesterday I had a KG55K2020UK delivered. After spending a long time tuning/setting it up, I have some channels showing as ‘data only’. Eg. Ch271 - Channelbox. Why am I unable to use this basic Freeview service on a brand new tv? (Aerial & Internet both connected).

    @scottEmovienerd bag that **** up right away, and url me when it's online freeview

  • Vinlandmapinfo David Bradbury (@Vinlandmapinfo) reported

    @ruzzfeed @back_the_BBC Not such a chasm as it appears. The government wants to run down the Freeview system and prioritise streaming, with help from the BBC & ITV, but current broadband can't cope with 10 million people watching an England World Cup match at the same time.

  • JenaNYC76 Jena Mihalovic (@JenaNYC76) reported

    @LGUKCare @zhriszowen Same issue and I read the freeview issue was corrected? But nothing appears?!?!

  • DefundBBC Defund The BBC (@DefundBBC) reported

    Ministers are now using slow ultrafibre broadband rollout as reason to keep the licence fee until 2038! Rubbish! Without the live TV tax people could watch freeview. Meanwhile, it's on the rest of us to switch to on-demand and #DefundTheBBC by legally cancelling our TV licences.

    @MattWWoolwich Haha, my TV only has apps and not conventional channels other than some bizarre Samsung random channels, never really saw the point of getting Sky or freeview as it’s just mainly Netflix these days!

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital As to freeview, better off talking to harry hill, they know absolute nothing about the problem i had. 4 times ive had this looked at now, because freeview passed my details on.

  • sad19 Sue (@sad19) reported

    @FreeviewTV Hi, I’ve had problems with my freeview feed for about a year in the Medway area. It was pixelated for a while and had only channels from no.12 onwards, then no signal again. Later worked for a few days, now no programmes for ages now and retuning doesn’t work.

    You can have Netflix, Amazon Prime, BBC iPlayer, Apple TV+, Disney+, Hulu, HBO, Quibi, MUBI, All4, ITV Hub, Freeview, Sky, a hoard of DVDs, a VHS library, a crystal ball, a glass shard cursed by a witch, but if you want to watch a specific movie go **** yourself it’s nowhere
