  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

  • DavidSwindells1 David Swindells (@DavidSwindells1) reported from Macclesfield, England

    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

  • JoyAnneGarner Joy Garner (@JoyAnneGarner) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Anyone else having issues with Freeview etc today? ST6 area ?

  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Werrington, England

    Warning, stupid question incoming, does a Freeview tele just simply plug into an old skool aerial?? My mum wants a new TV but doesn’t have cable. I’m assuming so? I’ve had cable since the early 90s so haven’t had to faff on with aerials for 30 odd years !!!

  • kirstxxiv kirstylouise (@kirstxxiv) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

    @Helga_Otto_ @David_Suchet Helga, I don't know if this will help....I don't have Sky either, but, Sky Arts has a (free) channel on Freeview here, so I wonder if it does in Germany too. It is Channel No. 11 on the Freeview listing here in the UK.

  • Clinton04468570 Clinton (@Clinton04468570) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @FreeviewAU @FreeviewTV Okay understood. I thought Freeview was like a joint venture between all the free to air broadcasters to get them all to work together to combat Foxtel and streaming services, my bad

  • summers_allan Allan Kempson (@summers_allan) reported from Romford, England

    @talkSPORT @Sjopinion10 That's a bad idea. Sky have rights to other sports too, so a netflix football service would be yet another thing to pay for if you like multiple sports. More football needs to be on freeview channels like BBC and ITV.

  • Bill_FJ_Quinn Bill Quinn (@Bill_FJ_Quinn) reported

    @FreeviewAU I'm sure you mean well, but if you're not on the east coast, it is ****ing impossible to safely predict when a show might start on any given network on #Freeview. ****ing impossible. #TV #FTA

  • Nicky_Harrison_ 𝗘𝗸𝗹𝗲𝗸𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗡𝗶𝗸𝗶🇬🇧 (@Nicky_Harrison_) reported

    @colinphoenix @ToniHargis @punkgirldiaries I'm on #Freeview. Never seen it.

  • GeoffBrewer Geoff Brewer @RenewParty #FBPE #APPG @MakeVotesMat (@GeoffBrewer) reported

    2/ the EE TV service. What are other formerly happy EE TV clients feeling about and doing about this? Is there any way we can continue to use the EE TV box for receipt, recording Freeview programmes etc ?

  • Poddster Lee Griffiths (@Poddster) reported

    @rvkirk I have a love/hate relationship with Sharpe. Love: it's a great show. Hate: in the early days of Freeview I'd be scrolling through the EPG and get very excited to see Sharpe, only to find on switching that it was in UKTV Gold, which was a premium channel :( I never learnt.

  • chrisalfw Chris Williams (@chrisalfw) reported

    @PhilWilliams These channels have not said no, they have said they havent been approached as yet. I opposed the creation of the Premier League but i support this Super League. Inevitable it will be on a streaming provider rather than Freeview, Cable or Satellite.

  • petrolheadtoo Not Gary (@petrolheadtoo) reported

    The first 12 minutes of Sky (freeview) news at 1pm today in the UK was about a trial in the USA. I am so glad i do not pay for this rubbish. I know they are owned by the same company (Comcast) as a major USA woke network

  • DSheight DwightSheight (@DSheight) reported

    @SamanthaMalin When we're over in Spain we've got a Freeview box with only about 8 or 9 channels that actually work. It's bliss. And we wind up watching stuff we never normally would in the UK with our 20 million Sky channels & Netflix. It really takes the pressure off so I get that totally.
