    @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

  • Like47 Les Dawson and me #JC4PM2019 #LabourActivist (@Like47) reported from Manchester, England

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

  • Originsingamer zinorigins (@Originsingamer) reported

    @Mrpaulfox @Potatoe_Waffles @Machobeard4life Digital TV only allows the 5 main channels everything else is freeview, most of us rely on WiFi to view American products, because not all of us have a freeview box because we don't wanna pay TV licence of the thieving BBC, which has literally the worst programming on it

  • BobHuckin Bob Huckin (@BobHuckin) reported

    @nicperrins The only inconvenience we suffered was the loss of some Freeview HD channels on Thursday night at the back end of storm one. Switching to SD was as bad as it got. We got away very lightly

  • DazzaField Darren (@DazzaField) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi, thank you for your reply. We actually had to cancel our sky TV Subscription because it became too unaffordable, we were using the box for freeview. Would we still be able to get a technician down without an active subscription?

  • frankensteirer yoo hoo (@frankensteirer) reported

    @MyNottingham @MikeBeardPhoto Can somebody fix area masts to clifton NG11 9H area since the new build started we've had freeview issues now threes showing as complete service loss we always used to be least able to get 3g and 4g it's a major city and cliftons huge massive student population should be full 5g

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @theJeremyVine @thetrainline @AvantiWestCoast No because from August 10th 2021 until January 5th 2022 we had no Freeview signal thanks the Bilsdale transmitter fire so no TV whatsoever for us. Temporary service restored out of 220+ channels we've got 30 channels. So missed every single one of those and we had 1/2

  • scousepie Emma (@scousepie) reported

    Hotel’s not bad at all. One of them little gaffs where they’ve got several and I had to carry my suitcase up three flights of stairs, but an unexpected fridge and if I can work out how to get the Freeview on I’ll be absolutely laughing here. Sainsbury’s over the road an all.

  • danblythewriter Daniel Blythe (@danblythewriter) reported

    My @TalkingPicsTV signal on Freeview is scrambled worse than one of Alain's messages to London tonight... looks like we'll be watching #SecretArmy on TPTV Encore after the event this week!

  • benfenton Ben Fenton (@benfenton) reported

    Anybody fancy crowdfunding BigJetTV to help it get a slot on Freeview? Somewhere between GBNews and RT.

  • BhamComFest Bham Comedy Festival (@BhamComFest) reported

    What do you mean you've never seen @KingRockerFilm @_Nightingales? It's back on 📺 #SkyArts #freeview tonight (Sun) 11pm! 👍

  • emm_victoria Emma Victoria (@emm_victoria) reported

    @MSE_Deals @MoneySavingExp We are about to cancel Sky or at least have a conversation with them to try and reduce the outgoing. We have Disney for the kids and Netflix, one of them will be going. Wondering if FreeView & a Firestick would be better?
