    Gawping at Freeview while eating brekkie & this Holby City script is utterly dreadful (well, rote, I could write it in my sleep: "Bob: Hey. Chas: Hey, Bob. (Awkward silence). Bob: We need to talk" 🙄) BUT CAN I WRITE MY OWN AWFUL ONE AT ALL? No At least this guy WROTE one

    @a516digital Out of everyone I know only 1 had something other than sky freesat or freeview, he has virgin media, but is so reluctant to talk about it because he has had so many issues with it, he wants to smash it up.

    @dougmcfarlane41 Coming to fix the freeview aerial😳

    @bt_uk I know, but why would I pay you for Freeview Channels! Hard bundling TV with Broadband to get me to sign for 2 more years. BT broadband is poor & my area is just getting new providers with Fibre to the house. This feels like anticompetitive practice using your TV @CMAgovUK

    @a516digital Most who I know have got sky and or freesat so makes no difference, but those who do watch freeview have problems with Forces TV, BBC4 HD, etc, the Great TV! Channels are all pixelated, and ITV ch4 and ch5 keeps popping and squeaking on the sound.

    @eddydaud FreeView: absolutely rite. Best is new n fresh leader from younger gen. Dont get Mukhriz coz it will be worst than now. Terima hakikat atau hard to win even 1 seat. I bet on it.

    @a516digital But what I did learn today, is everyone seems to be having some sort of issue, freeview seems to be annoying many, with its picture quality.

    @Grownmangrumble That's a conspiracy theory. I'm left-wing and support #DefundTheBBC movement. The BBC model of taxation is out-of-date, as there are multiple alternatives like Sky, Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, Freeview, BritBox etc. Let customers choose what they want to watch and pay for.

    @mwnciod @Greyhound_One Check the Freeview site. It could be your decoder. That was my problem as it turned out.

    @a516digital It's a shame I cant get freeview where I live, as I would have liked to report how com 7 reception is. But it's been poor for a few weeks now, from what others told me.
