    @NetflixUK as gone shit pay to see old flims that you get free on Freeview so what's the point 👊👊👊👊👊

  • 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

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

    @a516digital I personally am happy for an ip future, if and when it finally takes off. But i think the bbc might be too ambitious for 2030. Freeview is a good service where you can get it.

    @LesMalpas Could be transmitter issues. Sometimes, my Freeview goes wonky, and I have to retune because the signal has switched from South-East to South (and vice versa), but the transmission signals are very close. If you don't have a near alternative, you might need to just be patient.

    @BrokenTV @UKPRES1 @TalkingPicsTV Haha, funny you should say that, I'm unfortunate enough to have terrible Freeview reception and Sky Glass, neither of which will get me Talking Pictures, sadly.

    @Honeythedog1 A contract is a contract, if they ramp the price up you can presumably repudiate it and go else where, like NOW, or be like me. I‘ll never take a SKY package. Freeview ( aka Cooncil telly +) , Amazon Prime and Netflix might be a decent low cost bet.

  • ToniLD Toni-L D (@ToniLD) reported

    @LatestTVBtn Hi folks, I know that your TV listings are down on the Latest TV site, but they have also gone missing from Freeview, please HELP

  • NervousInnocent Cainneach (@NervousInnocent) reported

    @niconicotoga Yeah we got all the dinsey and nick stuff too but CBBC was freeview and had all the wonderful weird **** lol

  • DDubya82 Daniel Whittle (@DDubya82) reported

    @davechannel @NEReviews Watching on freeview transmitting from winter hill. It’s not isolated to this one programmes it’s multiple programmes, QI, house of games, travel man, and last night, the Bad Boys II movie. This is being watched on a panasonic TV with integrated freeview.

  • atrichoke Hugo Tyson (@atrichoke) reported

    @JANUSZCZAK It's free live on Freeview. But you have to find it and record it at the time: there is no catch-up service like iPlayer &c. That's the PITA that makes me with much regret miss most of your stuff. No replay.

  • SJKSalisbury Steven (with a ph) (@SJKSalisbury) reported

    Every UK Hotel: Wi-Fi, gym, spa, swimming pool, six randomly selected Freeview channels including one you've never heard of and will never see again, on site car-parking...

  • Stroudgreenguy J. Alfred Prufrock (@Stroudgreenguy) reported from Tottenham, England

    @Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.
