    @gary_worden @cjssydney @cptcapitalg @FrogAlaPeche Poor people either don't have a TV or watch freeview.

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • mosiestearn Maureen Stearn (@mosiestearn) reported

    Watching FREEVIEW Drama channel last evening, Inspector Lynley. Used 2B a 2-hour slot. Last night it was still a 2-hour slot BUT with every 10 minutes of drama there were 5 minutes of adverts. Almost an hour's worth of drama cut out. Most of it made no sense at all.

    Hey @SamsungTV @SamsungSupport - with the new firmware 1903 for the QN800A, sometimes pressing right on the remote on broadcast tv, nothing happens, when it is meant to show the Freeview guide. Turning tv off and on again is the only way to fix it. Please fix for next update :)

    @DrewLawDesign A few saying Everett, I liked him in the 70s as a kid but I watched it the other week on Freeview and it was cringy as **** really really ****. Best left of n the 70s I think. Anyway has to be Ken Loach.

  • dgtwatter Dot on the Landscape (or portrait if you prefer) (@dgtwatter) reported

    WTF! Anyone else lost ITV, C4 and C5 on Freeview? Just rescanned the digibox when prompted and they've ****** off (technical term). Box now defaulting to BBC3 on channel 23.

  • thescoogeman walter pancott (@thescoogeman) reported

    @bod_uherald Blocked if trying to watch it via Sky but available with no issues on freeview. My channel is 866.

  • edstub207 Eddie Stubbington (@edstub207) reported

    Sky forces you to have a specific bundle with some packages and says "You get 300 Channels for £25 a month" meanwhile Freeview has 170 of them already & most of the new ones are garbage like Poker TV and some random news channels.
