    @NetflixUK as gone shit pay to see old flims that you get free on Freeview so what's the point 👊👊👊👊👊

  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @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.

    @jinxyjane1960 @BBCNews Incredibly naïve comment. I realise not everyone will see tough times, but this is going to cause all kinds of problems. Even me on my £8 mobile contract and Freeview. I don't see it as unpopular, I see it as something that has no idea what many will face.

  • joonloons june lewins (@joonloons) reported

    @basestacking Check Freeview for the terrestrial channels in your area, and retune a couple of times to see if you get more stations. I use a Humax and smart tv so I can record TV programmes, but you should be able to just plug it into your tv. I find non-HD progs get a better signal.

  • BenJohn45874515 Ben Johnson (@BenJohn45874515) reported

    I'm so glad I have satellite. Just been watching a bit of Freeview and a plane flew over and I lost signal. It's a bit like some of these issues with DAB.... nothing is as strong as it should be. Now I'm Netflix and chill.

    Why isn’t the match on Freeview? **** you @SkySports, you really love to ruin sports. England matches should be free to watch #ENGCIV

  • djbwells Darren Wells (@djbwells) reported

    @SimonJeremyMil1 @ThatsTVOfficial Same down in the South of Uk. We watch on satellite but would be handy to get it on freeview

  • gildy61 Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    @did_40 @lomelindi12 Can you both listen to the repeat of Health Check on the World Service at 1.30pm online via smart speaker, sounds, on DAB, Freeview? A very big feature on MS which seems to offer hope and it does seem reliable what they talk about it.

  • MacScotland4 Mac :: Scotland (@MacScotland4) reported

    @virginmedia My brother gifted me a years subscription to Netflix, which then just automatically tapped £10 a month onto my bill & I had no idea how to cancel it. So £43 to £66 is a big leap for pretty much the same service I get from Freeview and the pubs WiFi next door.

  • embee200 Mark Anthony Cameron 🇬🇧 (@embee200) reported

    @VoiceofCal It's only if you watch or record live TV or watch anything on iPlayer which is the BBC's own video on demand service. This includes any channel broadcasting in the UK, Sky, freesat, even freeview tv-the channels preprogrammed into a TV when you buy it.

  • JulieSmith2001 Julie Smith (@JulieSmith2001) reported

    @iMultitudes Yes I can only get that channel through the Freeview box which I record on, can’t get it through the normal aerial as the signal is so bad here.

  • esspeearr Hotel Bastardos, San Domingo 🇺🇦 (@esspeearr) reported

    @braambles We have freeview and an elderly 1998 vintage audi. You're talking rubbish. I bet you still support the tories.
