  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • simonglynjones Simon G Jones (@simonglynjones) reported

    @bbceurovision getting really fed up with sound issues on #Freeview - every time Graham Norton comes in the volume drops out! Grrrr! #Eurovision2021

  • misspallen Polly Allen (@misspallen) reported

    @speshmagiclady I wish we had foreign language TV on Freeview to help people get over their apathy around other languages - British people would be much more engaged with learning if the words were passively around them and they could just dip into watching a telenovela or something.

  • briavelsjon Jon Pitts (@briavelsjon) reported

    @softwarescotty (Original reply now corrected). That's fair enough, and unfortunate for sure. But surely if Freeview doesn't cover you, the solution might be Freesat instead?

  • terryphi Terry Phillips (@terryphi) reported

    @GBNews Bad news: I hear that those of us in rural areas who receive our Freeview signal from relay transmitters will not be able to view GBNews.

  • BarbaraRowley7 Barbara Rowley (@BarbaraRowley7) reported

    @bagga2007 Oh no! Do you have devices for streaming and an internet connection that’ll support it? The Freeview channels all have free apps to watch their programs. They should tide you over until you replace the TV.

  • IMTobybrown Toby Brown (@IMTobybrown) reported

    @lbc the bbc Is a good thing if it needs a new funding model it should be general taxation like every other public service. Subscription won't work because of freeview and also the radio networks can't go on subscription either

  • kylie_sen50 Kylie (@kylie_sen50) reported

    Scrubs and Gilmore Girls. And One Tree Hill. The shows I loved as a teenager (we had analogue to I was 14, then freeview, dial up internet to a similar age, then very poor broadband. It took like x3 the length of a video on YouTube to load. No data pick up & almost no signal).

  • spiritofradio4 spiritofradio (@spiritofradio4) reported

    @m1ctk @DaveMor16686271 @GBNEWS That's a shame. Why don't they broadcast in HD on freeview? SD looks like crap.

    @GBNEWS Freeview reception is very poor at the moment. Hope you can boost your signal so I can watch a decent news channel.
