    @traceyfromrasen @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV My Freeview signal can be hopeless at best even connected to Wi-fi but the HDMI/laptop combo works well when the cat isn’t jumping on it !

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @BradTRC @a516digital Someone at work I know got fed up with the faffing about with freeview, looked into getting sky glass. Problem was his broadband provider was very unreliable after several goes to get glass working. He was about to give up. Until it was suggested changing the provider.

    Why is the 30 year old (bad) movie Jurassic Park on at least one Freeview channel every single week (sometimes several times per week?) #r4today

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    @isleofmanbbctv @hischeekiness But not (yet) from an Isle of Man transmitter. If you are *currently* receiving CBeebies HD on Freeview, you're picking up a signal from the UK, as COM7 does not broadcast on any of the island's transmitters. CBBC HD on the other hand does, it's on the PSB3 multiplex.

    @PhantomPower14 Good. Decent technique on freeview. Anyone seeking masochistic pleasure out of watching crap football has to pay up. Just as it should be.

  • Busterdayoge Booboo (@Busterdayoge) reported

    @MarkSteynOnline @Mikenotsoyeadon @GBNEWS Not working on freeview anymore

  • jayandee48 jand (@jayandee48) reported

    @FreeviewTV I will never pay for tv so will always have freeview. But PLEASE sort your tv guide out - it's so hard to read. ☹

  • roasty88 Ryan McVeigh (@roasty88) reported

    @WWEVacant @AEW I believe they are comparing Dynamite on itv4 (Freeview) to WWE on BT sport (paid subscription service). I would like to see a comparison of AEW to WWE shows on Freeview and see how they compare.

    It’s 2022, drop the SD channels and encourage people to upgrade. SD freeview is unwatchable it’s so bad.

  • TheNeensSpeech Nina Salome✨ (@TheNeensSpeech) reported

    A customer actually said he was in the club for free entertainment. The words actually left his mouth. Mate it’s a ********** not Freeview: The Live Experience.

    @Saraita101 Linear TV - and Radio, whether from an actual radio or Freeview on a TV - is vital for those easily marginalised, cut-off and lonely. I'm particularly thinking of people in care homes, folds and such-like. As no OO or Twelfth fan, I feel it's a bad decision from @BBCnireland .
