    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    Some spoilers on Twitter for anyone watching on a streaming service rather than Freeview.

  • amg1968 Just Me AMG (@amg1968) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice It's getting pretty pointless watching anything FreeView, the transmission strengths from the 3 masts around me are so bad so prone to atmospheric interruption.I have DM'd countless times over 3years but there is no improvement & there never will be according to DTV services Ltd

    @DearMeYes @BoringOleFart Nope I'll think you'll find you need a license to watch any freeview channels go online and type in freeview it tells you that you need a license for freesat freeview. It's safer to stay away from them watch tv online and don't sign in to anything. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😷👍🇮🇹
