    @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

  • orkitecht85 sparky t k o (@orkitecht85) reported

    @GraceOnFootball I confess I had been exclusively using the free-to-air TV apps on my NOW TV box, until I realised that hanging my Freeview aerial on my drying rack relieved that issue.

  • Doctor_of_Music Mike Coe (@Doctor_of_Music) reported

    Living in a remote location, we only have a 'public service' Freeview transmitter, with restricted channels. Dense woodland to the east means no satellite TV reception, & there is no 'cable'. Therefore I have discovered with some pleasure that I will be unable to receive @GBNews

  • DiGada1 Ali (@DiGada1) reported

    @TRACEYBRO @GBNEWS Unfortunately there's always been a load of freeview channels that have never been available where I live.

  • PCottam13 PatCottam13 Ex-Labour🟨🟥 #FreePalestine #BDS (@PCottam13) reported

    @WarwickHunt4 @cool_grandad UK tv went down the pan with the launch of satellite and cable tv. Even Freeview is the same. Many channels rolling over the same programmes twice a day, some even three times. Now consider tv the same as radio, just noise in the background.

  • DiGada1 Ali (@DiGada1) reported

    @WeAreYellows49 @GBNEWS Doesn't work on my TV. We've never been able to get many of the freeview channels in this part of the country

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported

    @BeccaHutson Any chance of looking into getting an Android TV version of the app up in the future? It'll certainly help those of us on Freeview who have a poor quality picture be able to watch in HD instead.

  • Gr3enFN Gr3en (@Gr3enFN) reported

    @nipsyfn yeh its freeview for the **** fights, pretty sure it will end when the good ones start

  • josierustle josie 💛🤍💜🖤 (@josierustle) reported

    ahhhhhhhg this part of hotel-staying where crap 00s true crime documentaries on the freeview is all there is to entertain

  • Michael80789776 Michael CLARK (@Michael80789776) reported

    @ShiregreenOwl @teresadg0 The online services are definitely a big contributor, I agree. But a dedicated 24 hr news service on Freeview is far more accessible for many, and that will have an impact

  • AndrewCLeach Andrew C Leach (@AndrewCLeach) reported

    @afneil @GBNEWS It's disappointing the Freeview signal doesn't support subtitles, but I suppose you haven't reached the relevant audience thresholds yet. That might happen quickly!
