  • 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.

  • 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

    @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

    @JustAsk40745451 Hi, I believe if you follow Freeview Advice this should allow you to DM us. I have tried to DM you, for some reason I am unable to do this. Please try a software update within the TV settings. You could also try a factory reset to resolve the issue. Thank you, Melissa

    @DonnaDlm71 Luckily, yes. Used to like that program but never see it on Freeview.

    @wchannel thank god you go live on Freeview on Monday. That awful ad with Stacey Dooley is as annoying as someone dragging their nails down a chalkboard.

  • uncriticalsimon Simon 🥑🚟🚅😈💉💉💉 (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, Wales

    .@Freeview question - how come the PSB muxes aren’t treated equally? The BBC one and the HD one seem to have a much better signal from Wenvoe than the “normal” ITV one. (I can get Mendip off a random bit of metal.)

    @AdultWorkcom **** the **** out of freeview 😳

  • simonwhittaker1 Simon Whittaker (@simonwhittaker1) reported

    @danbloom1 @jed_mercurio Cancel Netflix, prime, Disney, sky/virgin tv, change phone contract to sim only, have freeview, shop at Aldi, no takeaways or eating out, don’t smoke or vape, don’t drink, cut down on other excess spend….just a few tips to help there.

  • skierlisa Lisa (@skierlisa) reported

    Dear @davechanneI I have never watched you because you don't work where I live please can you fix it that I can .. I have @Freeview but only get a small number of channels. also why do I have to pay the same price for a Freeview box as someone else who gets all the channels?

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @scott_gamer @verystickybunny @UKTV I guess you never know what broadcasters will choose to do next. PlayUK could have been a successful competitor to The Hits and TMF on Freeview if it hadn't closed for UK History.
