    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 😂

    @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 !

    @IanDunt Having a decent Freeview roof aerial & amplifier really does help. The ITV HD channel is an improvement. I have epic internet & their streaming quality is horrifically bad; just watched the Denmark game I missed yesterday it’s garbage!

  • sen50_kylie Kylie (@sen50_kylie) reported

    BBC & Channel 4 and that’s it bar Netflix because I grew up on analogue then Freeview. I never spent a lot of time watching TV.

    @NewsAMorgan @Jezzer_UK @mrmitchell78 Problem is, the services they offer are publically broadcast and not trivially paywalls for a subscription service. Sure, freeview offers some kind of encrypted broadcast, but that's just the TV. What do we do? Paywall BBC news and weather? Kill all FM BBC radio?

    Freeview viewers may need to retune to receive the new service. For help you can speak to a real person by calling the Freeview Advice Line: 03456 50 50 50 (9am-5pm Mon-Fri standard landline call cost)

    @makeupaguy We had ******* freeview so we got cheap kids channels, so I had never wtach a full spongebob episode

  • chriscol6765 Chris (@chriscol6765) reported

    @bt @freeview. Your TV service is so bad.

  • peteprodge Pete Prodge (@peteprodge) reported

    @NoSpinZone_ @QuidVeritas A reach in a week of just a million is incredibly bad for a channel on Freeview, satellite and cable. No wonder Paw Patrol IN WELSH gets an audience over five times their size!

  • woollyliberal Roy Gillett: British, European & H. Sapiens (@woollyliberal) reported

    @NickCohen4 @Kevin_Maguire Crap, innit I had to turn the actual Freeview telly on which I almost never do

  • loves_rats Vicki McDonald (@loves_rats) reported

    @4Viewers the show was This Way Up on All 4, the advert problem is constant on both my tv and freeview box

    Some spoilers on Twitter for anyone watching on a streaming service rather than Freeview.
