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

Matt Huisman (@MattHuismanNZ) reported@tdbnz123 @ThreeNewZealand @BravoTV Please check their official website / freeview apps. I think its down for everyone so a them problem
-
The Taxman ✞ (@CohleTheTaxman) reported@Steven59066 @AmandaMounthump My idea to write to parliament. You're a kind man and they shouldn't be making decisions like this, which will cause you problems and upset, so it will. They need to be told its not right and the decision needs stopped. Although someone told me Freeview might actually stay

Popeye (@PopeyeFreeview) reportedFreeview channel 71 That's 20th Century Was switched off at 04:00am on Wednesday 19th August 2026. 1 Technical issue 2 could be sharing with another channel
-
Mr J.Baines (@Mrjbaines) reportedI hear that Live from The Apollo will end after its next run of shows. Shame that as I quite enjoyed it. The bbc say it’s down to low viewing figures and saving £. Problem is that the BBC allows multiple episodes to be repeated on Freeview/iplayer channels at regular intervals.

neosalad (@neosalad) reported@JudeNicho @cyclingontnt This... I struggle to watch it in Freeview as the sd pic is awful. Discovery+ seems to have deleted my free account so I could watch the b highlights of giro etc on dmax/quest they had (in HD) And they'll wonder why viewership will rank this year.. 🤷🏻
-
Tom (@TomCushnie) reported@SW18_67FC @johnrobinson07 It's not more saturated too, it's shot in a Full Range and de-converted down to Limited Range to fit in our poor freeview infrastructure, it makes red and yellows considerably crushed. That's why the Holland game looked the worse so far

Ashford Kent Police (@AshfordKentGov) reported@Steven59066 What will you watch if they shut down freeview, X me back - AKP
