    @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😁💩💩💩

  • 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.

  • TomPoole007 Tom Poole (@TomPoole007) reported from Birmingham, England

    @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.

  • 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.

    Anybody else in the midlands just lost Freeview? @FreeviewTV is there a transmitter down?

  • Sonic_Sinclair ⚽️Disco-Stu🎩 (@Sonic_Sinclair) reported

    @DVB_Project I have a digital service idea, that could help the older generation about receiving digital information, quick and easy to use without internet, The technology is out there to do this, If you guys have free to air tv like the uk we have Freeview!!!! £££€€€$$$

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    (7/7) What coming up on Virgin/Freeview: Jan. 16th: ViacomCBS replaces Paramount Network HD with 5Action HD today on Virgin Channel 150. Jan. 16th: ViacomCBS replaces Paramount Network with 5Action today on Virgin Channel 187 and Freeview Channel 32.

  • Eesy20 George Peel ☘️ 🖐️ #P&J Project. (@Eesy20) reported

    @DemonswithR @DavidPoulden No, it is not 'frankly ludicrous'. The BBC(Freeview TV) is the same principle as the NHS. Everyone pays - rich and poor - everyone gets access to the broadcast media. If you want extra channels, you pay for those yourself. Just like healthcare.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @BuddyGB Will watch that on IPlayer. Technical issues with Bilsdale mast means signal is not strong enough for my Freeview PVR to use its two tuners to record more than one programme at a time. Frustrating.

  • Jack_Nelligan Jack Nelligan 🇮🇪 🎅🏻🎄 (@Jack_Nelligan) reported

    Film 4, channel 4 E4 and More4 as well as the plus 1 channels are not showing any program information on the Freeview box. Will this problem be fixed?.

  • botvolution Botvolution (@botvolution) reported

    Because I don't have sky or Netflix or prime or any of that **** I'm always about 5 years behind hype TV shows and then only the ones that eventually turn up on Freeview. It's quite restful in a way, I don't get drawn into endless twitter ingroup references. Lovely.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Wales: Preparations for changes to Freeview HD services in Wales: New - Service ID (SID) 17792 and SID 18174 on PSB3/BBC-B. S4C HD is coming.

  • adiamondgeezer Diamond Geezer (@adiamondgeezer) reported

    @freesat_tv No, sorry. It's freeview. I appreciate your offer of support though nevertheless.

  • ArtySej Art Sejdiu (@ArtySej) reported

    @BethMorrey @Channel4 The endgame here is obviously to make C4 launch a 24 hour rolling Boozenight channel that is accessible a few pages down your freeview TV guide
