    @MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.

  • 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 😂

    @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 !

    Has anyone else solved the problem of watching @SkyArts on Samsung TV Plus? I'm starting to think that TV Plus ≠ Freeview is the problem.

  • _LoneWolf_ Paul (@_LoneWolf_) reported

    @SkyUK Looking at your deals, new customer deals, I need some information that I can't find online. Where can I find out monthly costs after initial 18 months? I found broadband after 18 months (£35.50 for what I picked) but not monthly TV costs - basic channels, freeview.

    @JennieStrife Digital freeview is still transmitted through aerials, so yeah they still work. You just need to have a freeview enabled TV or a set-top box, old TV's can't pick up the signal.

    @MediaGuido @Iromg is the best of TalkTV also I cannot get TalkTV on Freeview for some reason so watch on YouTube? Interestingly I can’t get GB news either but when BBC3 started no problem! Why is that?

  • HollyChristma11 Holly Christmas (@HollyChristma11) reported

    Why is TV so utterly ****? Freeview? Supposed to be 700 Channels. And 695 of them are Totally ******* Unwatchable! The other 5 consist of Repeats or Adverts! And they want you to pay £156 Quid for a TV License? NOT A CHANCE!

  • mansh21 Mandy S (@mansh21) reported

    @kieronmirch @TheNewsDesk It really doesn’t look or sound amazing on freeview. I’m not sure I can watch if the quality stays like this, I’m used to seeing tv in HD not blurry with awful sound

  • Supervisor1_9_4 Codename: Gary 7 (@Supervisor1_9_4) reported

    @TalkTV Alternatively you could not retune Freeview and not watch this ****.

  • missTfied66 Ditsy1/Debbie (@missTfied66) reported

    @theipaper we had to pay for cable to watch bbc etc as not in a freeview signal area..so paid double. got fed up with them being tory mouthpiece and platform for farage etc. Then we kept the licence just to watch PMQs between torys n corbyns labour as we stopped our cable tv. After the

    @joelist This is very interesting. PBS have a UK Freeview channel so you'd think they could just show it there if they really wanted to, but they don't (and never have) owned the rights. I read that a lot of Sesame Street's income was from DVDs, and that has now vanished.
