  • 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 😂

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

    If they're on the telly box, and given a freeview channel. Yep, just more *****. It's sanctioned viewing isn't it, not maverick. Reeled you in to turn you. Talk Radio and Gb news. Oh do **** off.

    @FreeviewTV After years of excellent reception, my Freeview signal has fallen apart over the last couple of days. Freezing, pixelating and 'no signal' messages. Tried all the obvious things. Can you help, please?

    Anyone ever notice that the Weagle Eagle Seamus Agent 167 never Tweets between 9pm and 9.05pm and 10pm and 10.05pm and 11pm and 11.05pm?? Cos he's watching the 5 minute Freeview in his Ma's back room. @JamieBrysonCPNI

    @UncleStanBoslom Not to my knowledge - we did have some intermittent problems on the FM transmitter in the week before but nothing we were aware of on the day. Was she listening FM, DAB or Freeview?

    @BILDERBERG_GP @rosiewright99 I agree, watch it at home FreeSat - no problems, come to caravan and watch Freeview - dreadful lip sync....all other channels however, are fine!!

  • rozjonez Ros Jones (@rozjonez) reported

    @drbenbrown @AyoCaesar I was pleasantly surprised by that, too! Speaking of production values, tTVlooks awful on SD Freeview, but quite OK via HD Youtube. The bombastic graphics look about 20 years out of date.

    @revoltinghippie @80_mcswan Euronews is not too bad but can be a bit boring (freeview 271)

  • greysetter greysetter (@greysetter) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice After watching All4 on Freeview, we switch back to live TV, but the sound is missing. We have to turn everything off at the mains then on again, to make the sound return. Can you advise a better way /how to avoid this problem ?

  • thexhaunt Atticus🔺️👁 (@thexhaunt) reported

    They don't half make it difficult to cancel your Sky Q subscription, got there in the end, get to keep the box as a freeview box that records TV and can be paused whilst also getting a fiver off my broadband.

    @TalkingPicsTV Have to watch on Freeview as the Sky signal dish is effected by roof working scaffolding erected.
