    @utb_smith @jimbobity If Grimes was an advert he'd be one of those twenty minute long ones they stick on Freeview in the dead of night, flogging **** air fryers and granite based pans. A lot of talk and when the gear shows up its third rate tat.

    My TV has inbuilt Freeview and the signal has been rubbish forever. I tried a cheap Blaupunkt indoor aerial last year but it did nowt (telly is not very near a window.) Is it worth trying something stronger or just keep relying on streaming?

    @UBn9ohogz0XOFWP @GBNEWS To watch I need a TV license, a freeview signal or Sky subscription, and an HD TV. I don't have any of those. Oh, and even if I had Sky I would have to pay extra for GB News

    Only real gripe about motel: the TV is increasingly useless for Freeview when more channels (both HD and SD) are using MPEG-4. Which kinda shows the age of the TV. But at ~$90 a night, it's a very small complaint.

    TIL my mum likes to tune in to the awful Freeview religious channels in order to laugh at their output and I've never been so proud.

    @FedupRepat @FreeviewTV Hi, Freeview apps are an add-on service, as the TV does not have an aerial input built-in, there is nothing to add to that, you can receive a similar service as our iOS and Android app available on phones/tablets by downloading the TV players separately. Hope this helps, Dev.

    @bbcintrowest when are you coming back to @bbcsomerset ? The current version is awful. All devon and cornwall. So have to use freeview to listen to you.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @martiansurvivor Hi, Freeview TV requires an active aerial connection to receive our service, unfortunately, this is the only way to get the TV channels via Freeview. You may be able to find something online for a different provider. Thanks, Dev.

    @davidbicknell1 The little Englanders are about to have their own TV station in a few days time. Why aren't we all donating to someone such as @BylineTV (I am) ? Let's help get them on Freeview, even if it's only just a few hours per day initially
