  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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.

    My dad has alzheimers had to buy him a Freeview TV so he only has 1 remote control. Went to @virginmedia to cancel the TV off his package and they want to charge £80 and increase his monthly fee to £59! Yet new customers can get phone and broadband for £28 a month for 18 months!

    @Mistywoman1 @grafter4867 All I know is that since I had the second jab I can get something called GB News on my freeview and it was never there before. Coincidence? I'll let you decide.

    @LeeMcilwaine @TobyWoody There you go. You didn’t have all the facts, jumped to a patronising conclusion and still shared a solution. The problem was with Freeview. Not our TV settings ;)

  • LeeMcilwaine leemcilwaine (@LeeMcilwaine) reported

    @DigitalJonathan @TobyWoody ***** sake, are you still blathering on? What's a PhD got to do with the issues you or your esteemed wife were having? For some people adjusting settings DID work. If your issues were related to Freeview then probably theirs weren't.

  • CyanDippy Cyan (Sian) (@CyanDippy) reported

    Do not have the spoons to work out why I've got no freeview or sky tv signal today. Argh!!

  • SaffyBun Karla (@SaffyBun) reported

    @greatesthitsuk have you got technical issues? Cannot hear a thing on Freeview... Just silence from the middle of the last song 😢

  • HelsBels2525 Helen Bristow (@HelsBels2525) reported

    Today I've been working to Greatest Hits Radio and Smooth Radio. Mainly as I had to get stations on Freeview due to wangy internet, but I've never felt more middle aged.

    @jlf0404 👋I'm not around #CourtTV's tweets anymore, Jan. I'm not on the channel. Period. Not after their owners' awful treatment of British viewers. From 1st June they took themselves off #Freeview. It put me off them, and off the whole US court thing. It just wasn't the same for me😕

    @SteveBlythe @BBCSport Agree - rubbish screen on freeview - scores and ***** not showing correctly - v.poor BBC !!
