  • RobKerr32 Rob Kerr - I'm NOT a Robot (@RobKerr32) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @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 !

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • 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 😂

    @xxxavier_19 @dopexdiamondss @etherealdeen I never had cable or sky as a child so I always thought it came out in 2013 because that’s when I came out on Freeview

  • Farmo05 Caro JH 🇬🇧🇳🇴🇺🇸🇨🇦🇮🇱🇸🇪🇩🇪 (@Farmo05) reported

    @cornwell167 @gillstewart56 Totally agree not all agreed to wall to wall tributes but Freeview is free, not a paid for service.

  • LiamJones396 Liam Jones (@LiamJones396) reported

    On my holiday freeview experience, watching Taskmaster. UK TV isn’t doomed, good ****

  • jamespdrury James Drury (@jamespdrury) reported

    @hmd_db @TraceyRBurns @michaeljswalker Completely untrue, Freeview (the bare minimum TV service without internet or dish) carries far more than BBC channels and Channel 4. The inability to use ones TV is not the BBCs fault.

  • itsjoelstweets Joel’s NEW ACCOUNT (@itsjoelstweets) reported

    @Lapsedcat Yeah, BBC2 never did a ten minute freeview or anything. See also, Pan’s People, Carry On films, Confessions films. It was worse for the Victorians, getting all hot under the collar over a piano leg.

  • ChrisJA15486090 Chris - Cymry & European! #FBPPR (@ChrisJA15486090) reported

    @SteelDalek1 And then close down BBC4 to stop you watching that instead! Have they forgotten most people have Freeview, Sky or Virgin to find other programmes on???

  • Porky12280110 Porky (@Porky12280110) reported

    @JamesMills1984 @DuncanWeldon Come on James Mills haven't you heard of Freeview. ? Also I used to visit people who were apparently poor on social security benefit but they could still afford Sky subscription?

  • FNeedeth Fred Needeth (@FNeedeth) reported

    @Jake_Kanter @OwenJones84 Wow, I feel for people like you who can't afford cable, imagine just having channel 1,2,3,4 and 5. Did you know if you buy a digital ariel, freeview box or smart tv you can get loads of channels for free, might help with that pesky wall to wall coverage and give you an option?

  • Sootyskye Sootyskye (@Sootyskye) reported

    Hi @itvstudios @channel5_tv @Channel4. What happened? Poor DVB signal yesterday then it stopped. Still no channels 3, 4 & 5 on freeview (ch26) today but HD is ok. LB of Havering isn’t the most difficult to broadcast to.

  • Candidfloss Candidfloss (@Candidfloss) reported

    Is anyone else having reception problems on #SkyArts (Freeview 11)? It’s really spoiling the music!
