    damn i haven’t watched freeview tv in a while & I don’t know how to feel about that 😭

  • RichieUK_TTV RichieUK (@RichieUK_TTV) reported

    Gutted that I had to cancel Virgin Media — I couldn’t afford it this month and can’t afford a proper Freeview box to record shows! I hate being skint

  • mickhsmith Mick Smith (@mickhsmith) reported

    @58paulb @Bigdogdigs Always used to buy Panasonic. Then I had a hard drive fail on a freeview box. Panasonic were no help at all, because they didn’t want me to repair it myself.

    @SamanthaMalin When we're over in Spain we've got a Freeview box with only about 8 or 9 channels that actually work. It's bliss. And we wind up watching stuff we never normally would in the UK with our 20 million Sky channels & Netflix. It really takes the pressure off so I get that totally.

    Think I may be in a situation of complex filtering of Freeview signal.

    @ChefGarethS Cheers. I did think of a factory reset, but Freeview are going to check it out in case it's a problem in the area.

    Be careful when trying to cancel Sky TV. I was a customer for 18 years, cancelled TV, kept £25 broadband. They silently added a £10/month charge so that I could 'rewind freeview with my sky box.' Took 15 mins with call centre to get it removed. Stay classy, @SkyHelpTeam

    @FreeviewAdvice hi I have lost BBC on Freeview is there any problems?

  • GusArthurr GUS (@GusArthurr) reported

    People should be mad that prior to the pandemic, not a single PL game was shown on freeview and that BT bought all of the CL coverage that used to be shown on ITV but ok now #superleague is a problem?

    I am emphatically the least sporty of sporters but I feel terrible for archery. It looks really, really demanding and difficult - and also not something I’d watch as long as the Food Network remains on Freeview.
