  • NeelyFanForever ☘️NeelyFanTerry ☘️ (@NeelyFanForever) reported from Garforth, England

    @MaddFan1 Same thing happened to me a few years ago, I was quite happy watching @AJEnglish on Freeview and then suddenly it went on to freeview HD, which my box wasn't. My problem was finally solved when they started broadcasting live on Youtube.

    @Philips @philips_uk @FreeviewTV I recently purchased a Philips Ambilight 55PUS8204/12 55" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV with Google Assistant does it support Freeview play as I can't get the apps to work.

    @Sharon43068108 Very annoying! They are now showing the same match on BBC 1 AND 2. We are in a hotel room son only have Freeview. Going to watch Bridget Jones Diary on itv2 - I have my fingers crossed it's not too rude for the kids 🤣 (from what I remember, I think it's ok)

  • raytor Ray #indyref2 (@raytor) reported

    @weblivz Haven't renewed subscription, must find new stuff, being stuck with freeview is awful.

  • gildy61 Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    @SCEthelAustin @tanita_tikaram I suggested Morgan might join GB News or one of the phone in radio stations but Murdoch is launching a TV service and seemingly his will be via the internet whereas Neil's channel has a slot on Freeview. Sky and Freesat.

  • Ben_Blackman Ben Blackman (@Ben_Blackman) reported

    My SMART tv is not near a tv Ariel socket. We usually just watch iPlayer, netflix, now tv etc but I would like to be able to cut out the faff of that to access the freeview channels and menu sometimes.

    @Johnnypapa64 @NakedAirplane They should put shows like this on Freeview to counteract all the reality TV crap that's on there day in day out.

  • JamesOMahoney JamesOMahoney (@JamesOMahoney) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Customer Retentions @SkyUK offered a worse discount than previous agent! Leaving no alternative but to #DitchAndSwitch @SkyUK because of #SkyPriceHikes #Freeview

  • TheVietGwent GJPowell (@TheVietGwent) reported

    @YoungmanMj @Owenins That's way beyond my technical expertise, and I would expect large swathes of England can pick-up S4C via Freeview anyway? S4C would be paying for broadcasting in Wales in any event, if they could afford it, and it's the spill over that would be the problem?

  • RebeccaLouWard Rebecca Louise Ward (@RebeccaLouWard) reported

    @OurTardis63 I never got to watch this series of doctor who cause I could not find it on freeview :( On what channel can we watch doctor who these days?

  • sircofdan Sir C of Dan (@sircofdan) reported

    @sunorx @Vicster82 Fortunately the various restraining orders mean you'll never get within a hundred yards of a woman. The closest you'll get to kids will be when you're pressed against the glass outside Curry's trying to make sense of CBeebies on the freeview screens

  • andymacmichael Andy MacMichael (@andymacmichael) reported

    @Coldwar_Steve A cultural septic tank, TV turned dystopian ****-fest available on freeview channel 666.

  • will_wren Will Wren (@will_wren) reported

    @Crystalangeles2 @MoriartyProfJ3 If you abolish the TV licence you close down Freeview, 4G & 5G - TV licence also pays for that
