    @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

    @Alichat66 @TommyGribbin There's more than enough for the average family to watch on #Freeview I've never understood why anyone - especially those on low incomes - feel they have to have Sky. #GetReal

  • fvtimeshares Freeview Timeshares (@fvtimeshares) reported

    @zealous44672945 Hi Zealous. The Cardiff transmitter is broadcasting all the usual Freeview services, but a separate mutliplex for the Cardiff region (equivalent to the Manchester multiplex) never made it to air, so it's been included on the site as a little joke.

  • AdventuresVw VW Adventures (@AdventuresVw) reported

    @mycampervan We use a @roku streaming device for TV but when WiFi signal isn't good, the aerial always gets a good Freeview signal.

    @indytime67 @CarolineLucas @NadineDorries Which charity are you going to give to that has a disability programmes unit or supplies educational resources to every school & college in the UK or maintains the Freeview transmitters to ensure the poorest in society have a basic TV service?
