  • chris_sucksmith Chris (@chris_sucksmith) reported from East Cowes, England

    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

  • Bermudgirl Marilyn McCubbin (@Bermudgirl) reported from Netley, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Can you help me please. I am now relying on Freeview. My tv has HD but Freeview isn’t. How do I get my Freeview into HD. It’s not a pleasure to watch. Thank you.

  • JasonBudd70 JasonBudd (@JasonBudd70) reported from Totton and Eling, England

    @thebedfordfox @DAZNBoxing Noticed this myself when paying,a little bit sly, but noticed was entering a monthly agreement on paying the £24.99,so made sure went in next morning to cancel ,DAZN then just leave you on the Freeview stuff..hopefully they realise this sly tactic next time pisses the public off

  • RoboJ1M RoboJ1M (@RoboJ1M) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @Sonic_Sinclair @bbcmicrobot Technically it is, there's support for it in DVB. There's several channels on DVB satellite that uses it, not sure there's any on freeview. Certainly all the original services shutdown or moved to MHEG. The BBC mheg service was incredible but that's shutdown now too 🙁

    @cefinroberts I've seen better garbage on Freeview channels, like Dave....

    Anyone here who lives in London, who watches, or at least, can watch Freeview TV (terrestrial, rather than satellite/streamed TV), can you check whether it's working? I'm not home, so can't check. Wondering if there is a Crystal Palace transmitter problem. Thanks

  • littlemore20 Tessa Bennett remembering Toddy and Kevin (@littlemore20) reported

    Does anybody know why CBS Justice (Freeview channel 69) says "Service Closed"? Is it permanent?

  • bradtrc brad (@bradtrc) reported

    @markfrommellor @BBCOne Let’s not forget - the viewing figures for Wimbledon - is that just figures for viewing from platforms like Freeview/Sky? If so, how many more watched on iPlayer and services like Red Button? We’ll never know though…

  • RohanRam_MCFC Rohan Ramasamy (@RohanRam_MCFC) reported

    @RobWrig26119201 @4Music Only sucks that it’s not on freeview

    @anon_opin If you've only got Freeview, there's **** all on the box 97% of the time

  • X_eON X_eON (@X_eON) reported

  • steve_hmld steve_hmld (@steve_hmld) reported

  • Clivemerritt clive merritt (@Clivemerritt) reported

    @westywaldo @btsport That's kinda my point then, everything is better when it's free lol, if not freeview though then i'm glad it's not sky, Sky lock you in, it's extremely expensive and their flexibility with their apps for watching other than on TV are crap, same as their multi room.

    @anee1a Probably 50% of the foreign films I've seen I saw for the first time on Film4, a Freeview channel lol As long as you're able to read subtitles easily, it shouldn't be a problem. I'm certainly not "cultured", I've just never been put off by subtitles.
