  • 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!

  • 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

    @madaboutHolly @Lee_JM75 Who's watching this bad boy on Freeview channel 70 ,Horror, 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…

    Randomly just noticed a programme called Push up Brentford about Brentford FC on Together TV a Freeview çhannel I've never seen anything on it. Could be interesting, think it's about the move 🤔🤔

  • 2_Wheeled_Wolf @2_Wheeled_Wolf 🇪🇺 (@2_Wheeled_Wolf) reported

    @MamaMoose_Be I couldn't get the free trial last time I tried coz I am an ex Sky Digital customer. So they can do one! Get plenty to watch for free with Freeview & on apps with Amazon Firestick

  • Carti_Mandua LadyAnniSpiceInCognito#CountessBimboIsBack# (@Carti_Mandua) reported

    @soyoprincess @Klein17172024 We mostly watch documentaries on Freeview .... Portillo and the Trains, Abandoned engineering etc never BBC or ITV

  • 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.

  • Beverle51995260 Foxy Bev 🦊 🦊 (@Beverle51995260) reported

    @MagicalOverload The TV licence. Freeview is crap.

  • PeteLittle1970 Pete Little 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@PeteLittle1970) reported

    Ever noticed how these long adverts for mattresses you get on freeview the people never put any undersheets, covers, blankets or duvets on the bed? They just sleep, fully dressed, directly on top of their new mattress??

  • Arcane_Asylum Dragontao (@Arcane_Asylum) reported

    @DefundBBC Freeview is one of the worst misnomers in existence. Not bloody free is it. You have to pay more to watch most of it than you do any of the streaming services.

  • darkbreed Ben Reed (@darkbreed) reported

    @ArghZombies We did that about 12 months ago and have not missed anything. We have freeview but have never used it. Ailey exist on Netflix, Prime and my Plex library. Plus we’re £100 a month better off.

  • UnicornUnbound Grant (@UnicornUnbound) reported

    @Lily_McSnarly @TalkingPicsTV Ta for that...had never heard of this channel, but will look it up on Freeview.
