    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • Oliver_Wok wok (@Oliver_Wok) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @edgarwright @broccantyzack @itv2 Would make for a brilliant friday/saturday/sunday triple header. Would love to break it down into how many times a year they appear on freeview TV

    @AllsGood6 @DefundBBC I am just trying freeview again for first time in ages at my mums. It's absolute insulting crap. My decision to cancel the licence was the correct one

  • JulianRadbourne Julian Radbourne (@JulianRadbourne) reported from Cromer, England

    @dramachannel Will the first episode of series 5 of Waiting for God be on the catch-up service? Can't find it on either Sky+ or Freeview.

  • terryphi Terry Phillips (@terryphi) reported

    @GBNews Bad news: I hear that those of us in rural areas who receive our Freeview signal from relay transmitters will not be able to view GBNews.

    @arabforlife83 Assume bt tv box is connected to internet hub by ethernet. That’s what your bt sport comes down. Tv channels (Freeview) come via aerial. Connect aerial from wall socket into box, then aerial out from box to tv. For aerial signal to pass through to tv, need pass through setting on

  • AllsGood6 Loquitur (@AllsGood6) reported

    @DefundBBC Wouldn’t watch the BBC even they made it Freeview, one of the best decisions I made to cancel my TV license

  • moggie1984 Cat (@moggie1984) reported

    @timmyjpb Thanks Tim! I did see that but I just fail to understand with all the channels on Freeview you still have to subscribe (even for a free trial) to just watch one programme! Maybe that’s just me...?

  • Philipbutcher1 Philip butcher (@Philipbutcher1) reported from Reading, England

    @GBNEWS Is anybody else having signal issues on Freeview channel 236? The signal is weaker than all the other news channels.

    Scrubs and Gilmore Girls. And One Tree Hill. The shows I loved as a teenager (we had analogue to I was 14, then freeview, dial up internet to a similar age, then very poor broadband. It took like x3 the length of a video on YouTube to load. No data pick up & almost no signal).

    @Omahuson @TVNZ We never use Freeview for TVNZ on demand..always the app on TV
