  • 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!

    @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.

    @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…

    @gordon_dudgeon @profsked @edglasgow59 I read you can delete the BBC from your Freeview by having a piss down the back of your TV. Haven't tried it myself, but let me know how you get on.

  • GSWooster GreenSwizzleWooster (@GSWooster) reported

    @leannef55 Ah, just Freeview here. We don’t get fancy service like that 🙁

  • dav_jolly Buzby (@dav_jolly) reported

    @Hookademus @SpudFromDublin @MattAndo63 When my Virgin service goes down I switch to Freeview so still have Tv!

  • Borders750 Graeme Rendall (@Borders750) reported

    @THESPACEC0WB0Y Doubtful, although there's always the remote possibility that one of the UK news shows picks parts of it out. I don't think CBS is available on Freeview, just CNN, and from what I've seen of that, it's terrible.

  • fat_tramp Gaz... (@fat_tramp) reported

    @litg50 @LozzaFox @BBC Freeview you idiot just like now but without paying £160 for the privilege of free to air television.

  • V8Hotstox550 Simon Hughes (@V8Hotstox550) reported

    @Sotlive @BBCRadioStoke Is it not easier to listen through Freeview, given that most households now have at least one if not multiple Freeview enabled TV'S? Problem with MW, and has been for some time, is that the only way to get MW is in the car. So in many ways it makes sense. MW radios now obsolete.

  • robinjuste Robin Juste Emery (@robinjuste) reported

    @jameswaters I still use one of those to spit the output of our antenna to two rooms. Thankfully we have a strong enough signal from Bluebell Hill to maintain a stable Freeview signal.

  • DuffMan_D Duffman D (@DuffMan_D) reported

    @SteveDay Translation: Watching Moto GP this weekend on freeview is great for those poor plebs that can't afford BT Sport but what's really important is grabbing those that can that, because money.

  • mikes1988 Michael Edwards (@mikes1988) reported

    @ppdoddy I do vaguely remember 5 being turned on. I was probably 9! We didn't get a great signal from Black Mountain (lived at Merville at the time), so it was a bit noisy compared to the Divis transmitter. Freeview sorted that out.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital I'm mystified why they send someone round when I've already established reception is not possible. I watch local TV on sky or freesat no problem!which is for the Thames valley, on freeview its if I'm lucky other wise very weak Anglia or west from swindon.
