  • 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

  • groovicat groovicat 💚 (@groovicat) reported from Adlington, England

    @Sillyshib Heartbeat, ssshhh, it's never been off. You can watch Heartbeat every day on freeview

    @gary_worden @cjssydney @cptcapitalg @FrogAlaPeche Poor people either don't have a TV or watch freeview.

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

    Why do I keep paying for TV service which is shit @BTGroup I get better service on indoor freeview aerial

  • 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...😳

  • collegeflunky Sean Vickers (@collegeflunky) reported from Radcliffe, England

    @FreeviewAdvice any advice?Unable to watch terrestrial tv properly since Winter Hill update in August. Retuned Humax box and Hisense tv numerous times but still an issue #winterhill #freeview #

  • Huriye Huriye (@Huriye) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV @grannypatt It's not you, it's living in certain areas watching Freeview is a lottery. With me it's also the BBC channels that come up no signal due to certain atmospheric conditions? Who knows? Last year a TV engineer came & adjusted the communal aerial on the roof. Briefly helped now not😔

  • Montrealbloke Richard - Entrepreneur & progressive 🇨🇦 🇵🇸 (@Montrealbloke) reported

    @virginmedia hi. I've got a friend who has your service, TV, broadband & phone. If you put her price up, she will drop the TV and keep broadband. Use Freeview, channels on Amazon, Discovery + & Disney. Plus Now TV. Total still cheaper than you.

  • PoppyDog08 Al (@PoppyDog08) reported

    @a516digital @TalkingPicsTV announced they were moving on Freeview a few weeks back. The moral here is never put your channel numbers on your merchandise. My beanie hat will be out of date 😢

  • EmmaStitt59 Emma Stitt (@EmmaStitt59) reported

    @HelloSanctuary no TV input on sky or Freeview. Contractor for this came this morning. Can't get into the AV equipment cupboard. Can't get through to sky. Utterly shambolic way to treat Tennant's. Who runs a business like this??

  • BenJohn45874515 Ben Johnson (@BenJohn45874515) reported

    @Mark56623345 Apparently you can watch test transmissions on Freeview. Not sure how though as I've never had Freeview before.

  • mathewilson Mat Wilson (@mathewilson) reported

    Holy ****, the Freeview channel Now 80s is playing Prince's "Batdance" right now.

  • KevyCanavan kevycanavan (@KevyCanavan) reported

    There’s a wee freeview Telly app on my playstation with all these made up channels. One of them plays most haunted all day on a loop, and does anyone know how to cancel sky?

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital @hischeekiness Well on freeview, they will possibly merge or better still have a time shared service,. Either of those two can empty space for another channel. Such as talk tv in april. Who knows could be part of their plans!

  • OldBlueyes ItsMePaullol (@OldBlueyes) reported

    @Old_Smudger @Richard_K_P @virginmedia Your one ?? Across the country 🙈🙈 the service is sht...how can people use Freeview if they haven't got it..

  • Onesmallstep16 Onesmallstep (@Onesmallstep16) reported

    @kennethtwist @PeterBoneUK Then don't pay if the BBC is a subscription service. There will be FREEview. The poorest in society would appreciate not be threatened with fines or prison for watching television.
