    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 😂

  • MarkThorndyke Mark Thorndyke (@MarkThorndyke) reported

    Why hasn't the BBC got a +1 on any sky/Freeview? Why have they so many "Radio" stations funded by this license we never listen to? WAY to many! Why is the #BBC shite? Any decent show is by another company in reality The BBC is dying and needs to go as the talent CAN go elsewhere

  • BinteKhalid82 ****-e-Khalid (@BinteKhalid82) reported

    @MahamOfficial_2 Is PTV Sports broadcasting in UK? We don't want to buy Sky sports subscriptions so plz help us to find any freeview channel to watch #T20WorldCup2021.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @dannysavage @yorkshireladtv It's channels that are text services, teletext holidays is one, or use the Internet to show programmes that are not transmitted over the Freeview UHF network.

  • whocaresaaron a2k (@whocaresaaron) reported

  • MMendoza2021 Miguel. (@MMendoza2021) reported

    @dougmcfarlane41 @Freeview @TheNorthernEcho Still poor signal in Middlesbrough too.

  • downiearino Scott Downie (@downiearino) reported

    @toastman @ScotlandNT Stupid ****, probably all you get on freeview. Jakey

  • AlexHTheMAX Alex Horsburgh (@AlexHTheMAX) reported

    @Scotsterahoy @STVNews Stv don't have the money to cover Annan v Kelty never mind 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 games. That is the bottom line. Scotland games on terrestrial tv outside a major game in the later stages of a tournament are over. Not a cheerleader for Sky but they did put the vital Serbia Euro tie on freeview.

  • dlisterphoto Lister (@dlisterphoto) reported

    @arqiva One of my TV’s will see some of the multiplexes… The freeview box connected to the same socket wll see some of the same channels, but not all… my other TV will see about 16 channels (none of the main ones)… Feels like the signal power is nothing like what it was before…
