    @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.

  • 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…

    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.

  • 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!

    John Whittingdale leaving @DCMS may be bad news for BBC. He had ruled out a subscription model for the BBC as being technically impossible on Freeview (to replace the licence fee). He was also known to like Tim Davie's reforms of the BBC

  • SketchLisa Lisa Harding (@SketchLisa) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hello! I set up a freeview box for a friend and she has all channels except channel 100 so she can’t use the apps and catch up etc. Can you help. It’s a brand new box and everything else works fine. Thanks

  • _superhans Hannah (@_superhans) reported

    @PaulBobbiFett Evening Paul, hope your freeview situation is sorted now? Just having a quiet weekend as I’ve got an essay due next week eek! It’s such a catchy song isn’t it. Poor Sarah 😔

  • simonphoward Simon Howard (@simonphoward) reported

    @bt_uk I know, but why would I pay you for Freeview Channels! Hard bundling TV with Broadband to get me to sign for 2 more years. BT broadband is poor & my area is just getting new providers with Fibre to the house. This feels like anticompetitive practice using your TV @CMAgovUK

    42 DAYS OF NO #Freeview but no one really gives a **** do they, not even #Freeview

  • StephenOld Stephen Old #HerewardTheWoke#BarnHelm#SAFC#EFBPE (@StephenOld) reported

    @jssnowden @rudadu57 No, I think it is on one of the Freeview channels but I have never switched it on.

  • SketchLisa Lisa Harding (@SketchLisa) reported

    @cawalton7 Problem is I didn’t know she wanted the play side of things so I got her to buy the cheapest freeview box. Bugger

  • AaronLancs Aaron Read (@AaronLancs) reported

    @MarkandDrama The moment that the BBC loses the central funding from the LF is when I predict that Freeview and Freesat are doomed to death*. Yet these idiots don't seem to realise that the UK's main PSB is the core to the "free" stuff they guzzell down. *I'd give it five years.

  • annmilne9 anna milne (@annmilne9) reported

    @itvhub Y so many adbreaks ? 10 during one adbreak, while trying to watch Ferne McCann 1st time mum. Way more than 3 mins worth. Tried resetting the app on my Panasonic 2019 freeview play app as advised. HELP !!!!!

  • KellyEdwards85 Kelly Edwards (@KellyEdwards85) reported
