    @Jake_Kanter @OwenJones84 Wow, I feel for people like you who can't afford cable, imagine just having channel 1,2,3,4 and 5. Did you know if you buy a digital ariel, freeview box or smart tv you can get loads of channels for free, might help with that pesky wall to wall coverage and give you an option?

  • annetteh703 Annette Wilson (@annetteh703) reported

    @LozzaFox Simple solution - use your remote, most TVs these days have Freeview and a lot have Sky or Virgin, so plenty of other channels to watch.

  • graham_jbramley graham j bramley 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 (@graham_jbramley) reported

    Why did #BBC cancel their whole entertainment channels' schedules for Phillip on Friday? All viewers including freeview have access to News24 which is unashamedly loaded with fear and agendas. I thought the remit included entertainment at all times?

  • Candidfloss Candidfloss (@Candidfloss) reported

    Is anyone else having reception problems on #SkyArts (Freeview 11)? It’s really spoiling the music!

  • Farmo05 Caro JH 🇬🇧🇳🇴🇺🇸🇨🇦🇮🇱🇸🇪🇩🇪 (@Farmo05) reported

    @cornwell167 @gillstewart56 Totally agree not all agreed to wall to wall tributes but Freeview is free, not a paid for service.

  • SydneyCityTV SydneyCityTV (@SydneyCityTV) reported

    @whophd @garethklose Yeah, the standard EIT (think I've got the technical term right there) 7 day EPG data is still being transmitted by all Australian networks last I checked. If the green button was a MHEG thing, then it was terminated on 24/11/2017 along with the rest of the Freeview EPG service.

    @gabyhinsliff I really don't get what the issue was. Everyone's got access to Freeview, there's 90 other channels to watch if, you don't want to watch coverage of something. It's less stressful to use your remote than complain. Not a Royalist just not that bothered.

  • batrobi Goingincognito 3.5% FBPE 🖤🇪🇺🇮🇹🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 (@batrobi) reported

    @Philips Sorry. I’ve now arranged for the telly to be returned & refunded. As well as unresolved aspect ratio issue we found the sound to be unacceptable, & lagging when changing channels>guide>freeview also unacceptable. Our 10yr old samsung was performing way better before dying. Pity!

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

  • liarpoliticians Liarpoliticians, UK has rogue Parliament+police (@liarpoliticians) reported

    @sunshineboy567 @talkRADIO Maybe the show we wanted to watch was on BBC1 / 2 / Four, and not the other hundred **** freeview channels?
