    @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

  • 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

  • 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.

    @theJeremyVine What kind of pathetic human beings complain that they don’t like the P/Philip coverage where there’s 472 other bloody freeview channels to watch? Ppl are truly stupid at times. Grow up. One moment in time & they complain. Go for a walk or do something else you slovenly idiots

  • NNickcot Nick Cotterill (@NNickcot) reported

    @Sotlive No, on freeview there are hundreds of channels for people to pick. If they subscribe to a TV service, even more. It's not like people didn't have a choice to watch it or turn over.

    So, are we doing this? That’s right. #EmperorOfTheNorth live tweeting. Right now. @TalkingPicsTV Freeview channel 81. TONIGHT WE CARRADINE IN HELL (works written down)

  • maisiethetortie Maisie the Tortie / Margaret- NHS stay home 💙 (@maisiethetortie) reported

    @yvonnemurphy53 Never had Sky just make do with Freeview and Netflix that’s an awful lot to be paying!

  • itsjoelstweets Joel’s NEW ACCOUNT (@itsjoelstweets) reported

    @Lapsedcat Yeah, BBC2 never did a ten minute freeview or anything. See also, Pan’s People, Carry On films, Confessions films. It was worse for the Victorians, getting all hot under the collar over a piano leg.

  • jonwensley Jon Wensley (@jonwensley) reported

    @peakajy @DPJHodges BBC1 only had a 6% drop in viewing figures on Friday night. Amazing, considering it was just a one subject news broadcast. There are loads of options on Freeview. There is Netflix & Amazon Prime and even 📚 instead for those who “never watch the BBC anyway” for just a few hours.

    @hmd_db @TraceyRBurns @michaeljswalker Can you not read? Having no internet is not a barrier to choice, nothing poor about it... No, I don’t mind, it’s their editorial choice and if I didn’t want to watch I could watch something else (I did, on Freeview, not streamed) have a fine evening, not watching the BBC ;)

  • thesponguy Neal Robertson (@thesponguy) reported

    Is there a problem in KY14, Freeview not working @bt_uk

  • maggieinlondon Maggie - wear a mask 💙🏳️‍🌈🌱 (@maggieinlondon) reported from Wandsworth, England

    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

  • OmieAKA Omie (@OmieAKA) reported

    @andyjhpool @sha8erpr00f @mandapen Not that I'm a fan of the hyperbolic coverage , but almost everyone has either SKY or Freeview , both of which have HUNDREDS of other channels available. But now I can't get grandad off babe station. Damn you BBC !
