  • 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.

  • 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…

    @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!

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

    @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.

  • TheFunksterFaz Faron Collins (@TheFunksterFaz) reported

    @DaveModculture You need to get one of those recordable Humax freeview boxes. The hard drive on mine is full of films from Talking Pictures that'll I'll never get around to watching.

  • Rosa60044194 Rosa 🌹 (@Rosa60044194) reported

    @FreeviewTV My freeview down all day. Just went off at 9sm this morning and still off. Have tried retuning etc no success! York area. What is the problem?

  • timrobi12026017 tim robinson (@timrobi12026017) reported

    So poor I khan only dream freeview 😳

  • slash_addicted Sharon (@slash_addicted) reported

    I got my current TV 2 years ago and having no Internet this morning I've just had to learn how to navigate the regular TV side of it instead of streaming. The selection of stuff on offer is shockingly bad on Freeview. 😱 At least I can still listen to @KerrangRadio! 🤘

  • Adelaidesammy Sam (@Adelaidesammy) reported

    @LBC @darrenadam Most of the youngsters I know have given up Freeview channels but kept Netflix. That way they save money and never have to watch Allsopp. Win win

  • LumpyPete Lumpy Pete (@LumpyPete) reported

    @BBCThree One word. Shallow. Pandering to 'yoof' never works. To think 3 used to have great science and factual shows. Now look. And cramming it back on has messed up my freeview big time, so thanks for that BBC, never seem to get it right these days. #bbc3

  • WiteWulf Gary Parker (@WiteWulf) reported

    Real shame we don’t get More4 in HD on Freeview, The Pennines looks blooming awful in SD 😒

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @DebsySmith @FreeviewTV Hi Tia, I am so sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. Can you please DM Freeview Advice with your postcode and house name/number and we will look into this further for you. Thank you.

  • swansonian Graeme Swanson (@swansonian) reported

    I’ve tried to set up my mum’s new Freeview box and it’s not working. I suspect it’s me not the box. Everything online about it brushes over it in a way that suggests only the very stupid wouldn’t know how to do it.

  • CouchCommunique Real name goes here (@CouchCommunique) reported

    @wheeplumb @bbcpress @BBC Well apart from the many millions of freeview users, are you saying there is no public service value to BBC television at all? Regional news for instance, which is often the most watched item of the day? Building up new British talent? No value to that?
