    @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

    @ChannelboxTV hi the service is only showing a black screen on my freeview TV?

  • GavNix Gavin Nixon☘️🌈 🇺🇦✊🏼#FBPPR #FBPE #SlavaUkraini (@GavNix) reported

    @Saraita101 Linear TV - and Radio, whether from an actual radio or Freeview on a TV - is vital for those easily marginalised, cut-off and lonely. I'm particularly thinking of people in care homes, folds and such-like. As no OO or Twelfth fan, I feel it's a bad decision from @BBCnireland .

  • StaughtonMoore DJ Moo (@StaughtonMoore) reported

    @Channel4 terrible clicking noise on the England match Live on freeview. Seems to be on the 4od stream too

  • FatScottie Fat Scottie 💙 (@FatScottie) reported

    @Jonesta1 @virginmedia Cheers Jo - we're already sorted! I'm just aghast at their attitude towards an elderly customer with 30 yrs unbroken loyal custom. We've got him a new Freeview TV, new aerial and he's absolutely chuffed. VM are arrogant enough to think that no one will cancel🙄

    @Gambol_Putty @jimharringtonkk An Internet phone costs under £20. I never get into any contract where I haven't planned forward for that amount of time. No one needs Sky there's Freeview.or a £25 firestick

  • Cidergender Ciderboy (@Cidergender) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice cannot get Freeview sports channel help

  • Jim_Gardner_ Jim Gardner 🇺🇦 (@Jim_Gardner_) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @mrjamesob If the Gammon aren't careful, the only British values we'll have left will be brown sauce, calling Freeview "Normal Telly" and wrought iron silhouettes of a WW2 solider we're told to never forget, even though he died defending Europe, The Rule of Law, and Refugees.

    @weathertoy @GBNEWS Only recently found this channel on Freeview. Is this actually a serious news channel? Why can this unqualified idiot rant on challenged?

  • roasty88 Ryan McVeigh (@roasty88) reported

    @WWEVacant @AEW I believe they are comparing Dynamite on itv4 (Freeview) to WWE on BT sport (paid subscription service). I would like to see a comparison of AEW to WWE shows on Freeview and see how they compare.
