    I didn't really bother much with TV. I could watch "on demand" if I really wanted to see something. But I was given a "smart-vu" dongle. It really pushes you to pay services. It takes two or three attempts to go to freeview. And then, ohh my goodness, TV is terrible.

    @SkySportsRacing @netkeiba So many adverts on 415 nowadays, it should be Freeview. Tone it down a bit.

    @mikestanford01 @RoslynByfield @BBCr4today On the Radio, BBC World Service is the best bet. ALL the other channels are for entertainment. Now Al Jazeera is not on Freeview the only option is 'Sky News' ... warts and all. I #mute adverts.

    @virginmedia Really I’m just watching Freeview and not using your service literally!!!

  • padzer78 Patrick McCluskey (@padzer78) reported

    @BowesChay Why waste money on Netflix when one can enjoy Freeview or built in Roku TV when buying a new TV down in Tesco? And you get Clubcard points too!

  • DDubya82 Daniel Whittle (@DDubya82) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice what is the future plans for freeview? I can no longer receive ch71 That’s TV3 on any of my equipment I bought when the Granada region was switched to a different signal making my previous freeview equipment useless. Not happy if I have to do it again!

    @Riley_Gaines_ No. It gets shouted about constantly and has disproportionate coverage of those with those opinions across major outlets. MPs with those opinions have their own TV and radio shows on Freeview with very little governance. You're talking bollocks. Stop ****-stirring.
