    @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.

    @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

  • sugarcanebook E. E. Fry (@sugarcanebook) reported

    @virginmedia Also, losing all of our recorded programmes and movies yet again, unable to pre record any Xmas TV or movies, losing all of our favourites and our series links. FreeView and catch up have rendered the Tivo service sold to us as obsolete and we've not been offered any compensation

    @channel5_tv Thank goodness. Because TV over the holidays has been awful on all Freeview channels.

  • BRCWCo BRCW Co Ltd (@BRCWCo) reported

    Is anyone else having trouble with Freeview? Over 100 TV channels and only around 10 are actually watchable!

  • JEZ_THFC Jez (@JEZ_THFC) reported

    Anyone else's TV Signal packed up? #freeview

  • wildetrousers Gert Wildetrousers (@wildetrousers) reported

    @domjoly Les Dawson is always being repeated on Freeview. WTF is that victim on about? Benny Hill on every night at the moment

  • gunslingerx2011 Beastlordius (@gunslingerx2011) reported

    @TailedFeature I usually just put on their website that im not using freeview and thats about it. It's bit annoying to do it every year, but so far had no issues.

    For the Best Christmas music channel ever go to Sky Channel 366 or I believe it’s 65 on Freeview. If you like the Classics you won’t be disappointed. Not a bad song yet.

  • jonhughes_72 Jon (@jonhughes_72) reported

    What is it with feeling like crap and the correlation with crap TV. Can't be doing with Netflix or films, but instead I'm in the depths of freeview staring at family fortunes and a place in the sun.

  • PhilJDore Phil Dore 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇦 (@PhilJDore) reported

    My washing machine is now fixed, but I'm gonna nope out anyway lads, as my Freeview signal has gone rubbish in the wet weather we're having at the moment. #CovideoWed

    @toyhaul @JeffBezos Hi, Freevee is not Freeview sorry. You would need to contact the platform you use Freevee on for support with this. Thank you, Melissa
