    @ITVX I wish I could or that Freeview took on this network a lot of us on pensions can't afford satalite or cable

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

    @mycampervan We use a @roku streaming device for TV but when WiFi signal isn't good, the aerial always gets a good Freeview signal.

  • simonwhittaker1 Simon Whittaker (@simonwhittaker1) reported

    @danbloom1 @jed_mercurio Cancel Netflix, prime, Disney, sky/virgin tv, change phone contract to sim only, have freeview, shop at Aldi, no takeaways or eating out, don’t smoke or vape, don’t drink, cut down on other excess spend….just a few tips to help there.

    @aliiscrying @JohnJohnNYC_ in the UK you buy a television license to access Freeview which is the terrestrial television service you can get with an antenna. The money goes to fund the BBC

    Ideal Extra on Freeview has changed it's caption to 'Sorry, this service is no longer available'.

  • scepticalPhil Phil (@scepticalPhil) reported

    @Flashmaggie @Baroness_Nichol I was one of those who said I would never watch it. Ever. I have since watched @andrewdoyle_com on a number of occasions in recent months. It’s disappointing that the quality is so low on Freeview, but live YouTube stream is handy.

    @JustAsk40745451 Hi, I believe if you follow Freeview Advice this should allow you to DM us. I have tried to DM you, for some reason I am unable to do this. Please try a software update within the TV settings. You could also try a factory reset to resolve the issue. Thank you, Melissa

    @scott_gamer @verystickybunny @UKTV I guess you never know what broadcasters will choose to do next. PlayUK could have been a successful competitor to The Hits and TMF on Freeview if it hadn't closed for UK History.

    @aliiscrying @JohnJohnNYC_ You can have a TV and not buy a TV license you just won't get BBC or other freeview channels, you can still get digital cable or other pay services from **** like Sky

  • 4Viewers 4Viewers (@4Viewers) reported

    @Mr___Boy Hi John, we would suggest retuning your Freeview devices to see if this helps as we are having no widespread issues with this.

  • DonPedley1 Don Pedley (@DonPedley1) reported

    Have questioned why so few stations on Freeview in BN12 area. The reply from Freeview indicates reception in the area is poor as only a relay service & many stations not provided. Here is the conversation & how to complain to improve the service if you agree (I want Sky Arts)
