    @laingo80 I know. It’s pretty bad for films. I’m at my moms who has freeview and there’s nothing on so I’m scrolling through Netflix trying to find stuff

  • Selickpark Dee Canio (@Selickpark) reported

  • sc_timmy1180 Tim (@sc_timmy1180) reported

    @JoePalmerUK @itvhub Couldn't figure out how to do the Freeview on our new TV so on the net too. It's crap!

  • joeylk71 Joanne Gray (@joeylk71) reported

    @jacszosia @SaveHolbyCity I have to watch through iPlayer because I only have Freeview on my telly. I'd rather put up with freezes and delays than constant pixellation, dropout and that irritating screeching sound that watching Freeview's dreadful signal (or lack of) involves.

    @GBNEWS Please please please can someone fix the audio delay on the freeview channel..have persevered but find it unwatchable with the presenters lips so far out of synch with the video.

    @BBC i wanted to 4hank you for letting me see how channels there are on freeview. as i didn't have to watch idiot football pundits try to commentate on the Olympic gamed. i only saw a bit of the opening ceremony.

    @GeekCliche If Sky continue to advertise on GB News, why not switch to BT? I’d suggest Virgin but they’re a greedy company with bad ethics. You may also want to get a Freesat box for another room in your house for free channels not available on Freeview!

    Me days my #Freeview is better than others, but today I can’t get a single channel! Don’t know if it’s the aerial causing the problem or just an unusually weak signal?

    @ClareToHere Turn over to Celebrity Goggle Box on channel 47 on Freeview, it's making us laugh a lot tonight! 'Those' days can be awful buggers. Sending hugs to you xx 🥸🤪

    Oh nice, the Freeview BBC Scotland HD channel is offline so I guess I'm watching the game in SD. WTF.
