    @Walshy_71 I used to be able to watch NHL on freeview but the channel was lost when my signal receiver changed default tower. I miss watching it! 🥺😭

    @Andy65403625 I was on Freeview TV where ****** is not allowed before midnight. Don’t be so ******* rude, you ungrateful sod.

  • LonelyGoomba LonelyGoomba (@LonelyGoomba) reported

    @GeorgeyTheApe @BillyWi26569940 @BBCNews Well you could just not watch live tv. And thus don’t pay. Can pretty much get most Freeview channels on demand via their apps. Throw in a streaming service or two and you got yourself a pretty good TV set up

  • sexy_riker Lukas (@sexy_riker) reported

    @OOFTStuart Ugh that stinks. Are you just trying to use Freeview or is it Sky? If its freeview you might have the exact issue we just dealt with today

  • ksmw001 Keren (@ksmw001) reported

    @virginmedia Still no joy. Think ill have to consider getting freeview as you are impossible to get hold off. Terrible customer service.

  • rnossej R Y A N (@rnossej) reported

    Two things I’ve noticed today, Freeview and the local news are ******* depressing. Both completely ****.

  • darrksquid Kate🇪🇺 (@darrksquid) reported from Bonnyrigg, Scotland

    Ok, Peanut Gallery, what is a decent news/current events show available on Freeview that I can watch for 15 minutes in the morning before work with my cereal? I can't do Piers Morgan, and BBC Breakfast IS pretty poor, I'll admit.

  • AuntieSyzygy Auntie Syzygy (@AuntieSyzygy) reported

    @CRobertsonUK I only have freeview, and they have dozens of channels, all of the same and all of them crap or repeated crap. Never any decent films or a solid drama you can get stuck into. There seemed to be more choice and more good stuff back when we had just 3 or 4 channels.

  • YesterdayTweets Yesterday Channel (@YesterdayTweets) reported
