    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • 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.

  • bulldogbyrne julie byrne (@bulldogbyrne) reported from Hindley, England

  • 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

  • MikeBates04 Mike 🇬🇧 #Britishindependent (@MikeBates04) reported from Manchester, England

    @MissMarrple Wasnt the clue nautical in it? Thats the hint its in the question! Or suhin like that? There was a clue, I'm on poor person Freeview so can't rewind!

  • jpc101 James Cooper (@jpc101) reported

    @MEFoggyDog At 3pm on ‘Great Movies’ (ch 33 on Freeview) today it’s ‘A Puppy for Christmas’. It’s one of those Xmas movies that are “so bad they’re good”!!! Cheesetastic would be another word for it.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @FernRiddell I totally forgot about this... damn the lack of a +1 on Freeview! Though I do have this on HD DVD (because all the cool people have HD DVD)

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @a516digital From what I've seen of local TV while staying in York this trash needs booting down to the end of the Freeview guide to a 9x position. Sky Arts is far more deserving of that position if BBC 3 can't have it.

  • jeannie_pie Jeannie pie (@jeannie_pie) reported

    @FreeviewTV @FreeviewAdvice why has the freeview guides changed to show multiple regions? I select SE(Kent) region, but can also get London. London mast reception bad. New menu causes recording series duplication! Continued

  • James__Parr James Parr (@James__Parr) reported

    @Shires_Rich We should start a petition to get Star Trek aired on freeview tv so that anyone can watch it without having to pay for a premium streaming service.

  • roasty88 Ryan McVeigh (@roasty88) reported

    @WezzyStef907 I get that they want to move it their own service but can't see why they can't put it on one the UK Freeview channels they own like @paramountnet_uk for this season. Would be a ratings killer, advertise @paramountplus and stop piracy. Seems like a win for everyone there.

  • peteprodge Pete Prodge (@peteprodge) reported

    @leefreshprince I have a Sony Bravia which claims to allow Freeview recording to USB media, but doesn't. It can certainly read USB media but I've never got it to write. Streaming allows me to pause and rewind, unlike my main linear TV.

  • adiospantaloons Trumpet Compulsory (@adiospantaloons) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV @Simon_Pegg I wish. I can't seem to watch your channel, no matter how hard I track it down. No website or app seems to stream it, and we can't get Freeview as aerials don't work in our wooded part of the country :-(

  • Kathy_landeg59 Kathryn Landeg (@Kathy_landeg59) reported

    Freeview is down agian I'm losing channels
