    @MrMalky Get tae **** !! Freeview is a wash with their content and the reason why people stump.up for NetFlix. I give it a year not personally I can't tell you the last thing I watched on ITV and BBC can **** right off !

    @nowtvhelp It’s ok they’ll tell to do the exact same things I’ve done already. It’s working now but for how long. And your live chat very rarely works. Or there’s a long wait to speak to someone. When the passes are finished I’ll just cancel and stick to freeview amazon prime and Netflix

    @kentindell Tbh every time I turn on my LG it asks if I want to programme channels. I have no antenna connected. I use it for streaming and Sky so never needed freeview etc. not so smart smart Tv

    @SuperRetroid @jonesthescribe @MrTom Fair point. :) And in fairness, I have never had to use an internal Freeview in a telly in over 14 years. I always thought they'd use the aerial, not the leftover debris from Sky.

    @ali_king Now I feel like I should check the 365 Travel channel on Freeview again to see if they’re still advertising cruises that never happened

    TikTok's latest trend is based on Adult Swim and the channel titles or whatever and... I grew up with Freeview television. I have no idea what's going on. I'm so lost. This is nearly as bad as when I tried to watch Phineas & Ferb with people and had no idea what was happening.

    @Iromg @talkRADIO Congratulations. We switched when LBC parted company with Nigel Farage. Rarely watch tv news these days. Moving to DAB+ not good, only own 1 radio that picks you up. A channel on Freeview might help

    @willhowells I remember how they f*cked even that up. I missed the TV address because I was watching a freeview channel it wasn’t on & there was nothing to point to a channel it was on. & the text message arrived days late & iirc the link in it was broken. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 imperfect but better.

    @MNotts19 @thefreepress2 @TheProleStar we only had our licence to watch PMQs...we cant get freeview signal here and stopped virgin tv too pricey and paying for so many free to air channels. After GE i stopped my licence and wrote official complaints. £12 a month better off!!

    @NOWTV Yes, it's fine if I unplug @NOWTV Smartbox & access Freeview direct thro aerial. Issue is just @LondonLive via your Smartbox.

    @HabberleySteve @dancludlow @ShirleyMadin1 Andrew Neil is fronting a new news broadcasting service in the New Year. Called GB News, I think! It's going to be on Freeview, which I can't get! I use Freesat.

    @PhilippeAuclair At the very least a rolling Covid public information service should have been setup on Freeview, Digital Satellite and Virgin which would carry information on the rules. All technically possible using existing terrestrial and satellite capacity.

    @evilscootus I love sbs on demand and as I access directly through my smart TV I don't have any problems. I find that if I go through freeview it takes ages and searches are almost impossible.

    @rtenews Too bad we can't get this in the North. Freeview blocks RTE and TG4. Tommy Gorman knows and supports it. He said so in a telephone call.

    I know the news is important. But **** same the bbc have a designated news channel that’s viewable to everyone (?) on freeview. Why does it keep having to be on the main channels when all it is is bad news

    @NigelBig @back_the_BBC @bbcemt weather forecast never mentioned the 'East' so assume a **** up somewhere - this just on satellite or affecting freeview too?
