    @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.

    @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…

    @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.

    @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.

  • amnothybrid Anne-Marie Bellerby (@amnothybrid) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Got tired of paying for a service we didn’t use. Bought a Freeview box and have never looked back

    Vaccination passport anyone? Just about to make the case for getting a system up and running before it's too late - live on @RTUKnews It seems this issue won't go away, so maybe it's time we just got on with it!!?? Sky 511 Freeview 113

  • NotForMeThanksX 💚🌷olvpolv🌷💚 (@NotForMeThanksX) reported

    @theJeremyVine What kind of pathetic human beings complain that they don’t like the P/Philip coverage where there’s 472 other bloody freeview channels to watch? Ppl are truly stupid at times. Grow up. One moment in time & they complain. Go for a walk or do something else you slovenly idiots

  • BertieTheCat1 Bertie Cole (@BertieTheCat1) reported

    @ghost_wales We`ve got freeview and a TV licence and that`s enough. Humum discovered Sky was crap nearly 20 years ago, still thinks the same !

  • mtaylorart1 Martin Taylor (@mtaylorart1) reported

    @JANUSZCZAK @beeple Couldn’t get to watch your film on Michaelangelo. Any tips on how I can? Went through all the process on Freeview but it said it wasn’t available? Help. Martin

  • GaryinScotland Gary Cummins (@GaryinScotland) reported

    @Samsmilew @RonMooreMoreRon Hello Samantha. Freeview channels are all that many receive. In 2021 the BBC chose to show the same program about the DofE across all its national TV and radio stations. Folk never had the option of switching over to another BBC channel.
