    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 🙁

    @MisterTimmr1 As for sports I ment watching them not playing them, for hiking there’s kilvey hill spelt it wrong but type in to Google with word Swansea you see it. It has a tower on it for freeview coverage which is ok. in my area it’s bad. Singleton park has music events on

  • BillSar93780206 Bill Sargent (@BillSar93780206) reported

    @mi06572550 @CliffHangerLON @danwootton At least RT was pure comedy. GB News is like a mental ward - it's a mirror image of the cabinet. Never have so many angry, ill-informed non-book reading freaks been allowed on Freeview channel 8,000.

  • saintchrisobee Chris O'Bee (@saintchrisobee) reported

    As if the lack of music channels on Freeview wasn't already bad enough the only one I regularly watch Now 80s is no longer available from Thursday 🙄😡

  • orkitecht85 S P A R K Y (@orkitecht85) reported

    I-Player stream has basically frozen for Kendrick. My freeview reception is a bit crap. Audio fine, but screen not moving.

  • dearaunty .Dear Aunty (@dearaunty) reported

    .@ITV James Bond 'Tomorrow Never Dies' now showing on freeview - who decided to censor scenes in this, & why?

  • PumpkinLover17 PumpkinLover (@PumpkinLover17) reported

    I tried to find something enjoyable at #Glastonbury2022 that the #BBC were broadcasting on freeview last night.......total fail. Here's hoping they broadcast Roisin Murphey tonight. Otherwise I will await the new season of Jools Holland seeing as he can still get good acts on.

    @Oliver___Brett @ChrisAO123 @carriesparkle Hi Oliver, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • leach768 Mark leach768@Gmail.com (@leach768) reported

    @Greyfoxp So I take it this is is why BBC News in HD is stopping on Freeview on 30 June to save money for stupid ideas like this one

  • Superdeformer_ PS (@Superdeformer_) reported

    Virgin Media have written to us to let us know our bill is going up to £79. We only have the basic channels. Will be looking to cancel next month. We watch mostly Freeview channels anyway. Just need to find a good broadband provider (who supply a decent router)?

  • BobsNotYaUncle Paul (@BobsNotYaUncle) reported

    I know it's on iplayer, my point was not that I can't watch it. I have a Freeview DVR, I now have 4 eps recorded out of a series of 6. If they show tonights final ep I'll have 5. There was no reason to move channels for a first round match other than to **** viewers over. Again.
