    @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

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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.

    @ricardoautobahn Most things on That's TV are in the wrong aspect ratio. Some (un)lucky viewers can also find That's TV on channel 7 on Freeview where it is disguised as the 'local tv' service. Still worth a watch to see the Thames TV logo at the start of Benny Hill.

    @novacosmetics2 @FreeviewTV Hi, I am so very sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. High pressure has been present for a few days and hopefully will move on soon. If you have retuned, you will have to retune again once the weather changes.
