  • 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.

  • 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 🙁

    @finchoid Joking aside, two of my mates are functioning ****** addicts. After beers once I chased the dragon with them. You know where you inhale the fumes? It was ****! They were out of it, I was looking for something to watch on Freeview. I was actually quite disappointed.

  • AuntieSyzygy Auntie 🦕 (@AuntieSyzygy) reported

    @SoupelinaJail Haven't seen Breaking Bad. Only have freeview stuff.

  • Oxfordite Rupert wilson (@Oxfordite) reported

    @GregoryDavisHNH @GBNEWS @peterboghossian they have never stated they wanted to be youtube only they advertise on freeview and the likes also I just showed you 1 of the choices they are on.

  • casslovedheino Ronan (@casslovedheino) reported

    @bririley_70 Man you gotta love the account name. No false advertising there. Also, pretty sure this concept was done before on one of the late night freeview channels years ago. Think the bastard McKenzie was involved in the channel though so have never gone back there.

  • PhilipTemple50 Philip Temple. (@PhilipTemple50) reported

    @Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP @bphillipsonMP I'm on my own had 32 pounds on electricity never had electric fire on or washer just got basics on TV freeview box now down nearly a 5er. Robbing bastards

  • pidgpie Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported

    @SkySportsNews all the best Jeff not the show it was, the recent format is dull and sky removing it off freeview was a epic fail

  • antnorwe Anthony Norwood (@antnorwe) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi Lisa. I definitely have a TCL television however when I go to use Freeview Play or one of the Freeview Play apps I'm prompted to accept terms and conditions that never appear. How can I check if my specific TV should have Freeview Play working.

  • tinopener1 tinopener (@tinopener1) reported

    @AyoCaesar Awww, don't be cruel. Put a little fish paste on the collar. Ash Sarkar! Ask Sarkar! You're going to be on GB News (freeview channel 236) next segment! It seems somebody may have taken issue with something you have said. Hmmmmmmmmm...
