  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • Josh_HW Josh Wright (@Josh_HW) reported

    @jackh1092 Because mine is via freeview/online, and not via Sky/virgin etc, and the free view channel will be no more from 26th, so firestick (lite, not the full one) is only way to watch it. I haven't plugged it in yet, never had one. Just another way to stream i assume.

  • ownedbynon Ownedbynon🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇱🇦🇺 (@ownedbynon) reported

    @cheesedoff3 Ha Ha They are trying to force folk to subscribe the SKY etc But they are being Discriminatory They don't realise how many poor families, older folk or Single people who can't afford to Subscribe Whoever does the programing for Freeview MUST be getting a backhander. REPEATS

  • illicitwylie lily (@illicitwylie) reported

    right so i was TWATTED last night so i was watching the freeview music channels and how come whenever people highlight taylor swift's success they always play shake it off like it isn't her worst song by FAR

  • JasCB2 Jas C-B (@JasCB2) reported

    @SpammyFritter My initial thought was how very tacky.... But ive never been one for crackers at the table. Got me back on side with the freeview, that was a nice festive touch.

  • twiitterrer The Hon. Padre de Bobby (@twiitterrer) reported

    @salt_veins Instal FreeView on your phone so you can watch tele on it & some well fitting earphones plugged in to block out ALL the noise as hospitals are just SOOO NOISEY & problem solved. If the earphones fit snug, then it doesn't need to be loud. That's what I did. Hospital had free wifi.

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • HJMovingFarAway HJHeadingFarAway (@HJMovingFarAway) reported

    Progress so far: washer is on, I'm working my way through a box of biscuits, finding all the concerts on Sky Arts Freeview & have loaded up instructions for my Miops that came 2 weeks ago (according to Amazon). Gonna be a slow-burner, but I'm getting there. Staying up till 8am.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Retro Life #retro (@FactsStomp) reported

    @GreenT128 @BBCOne Sorry, I forgot to add: I know exactly what you mean about the weird and stupid settings on TVs. Out of the box my TV had all the picture and sound 'enhancing' crap turned on, 10 minutes later it was all off and even low quality SD Freeview looked perfectly acceptable.

  • ABalharry62 AlisonB (@ABalharry62) reported

    Jeezo it's #ChristmasEve and not one good film on freeview channels aye appears bloody @skytv have hoovered up the rights to #Elf, aye the world is utter shite, aye I'll never be paying dosh to @skytv. Eh I've never bought a lottery ticket either, what a bloody racket that is 😡

  • TonyMoretta Tony Moretta (@TonyMoretta) reported

    @Deano230 @AlStewartOBE It could have developed with FTA broadcasters as Freeview later did. Other problem is it never recovered financially from Sky switching to free box offer.
