  • 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

  • VictorOlliver Victor Olliver (@VictorOlliver) reported from Sompting, England

    Watching Ideal World on Freeview ch 51. Peter Simon still flogging stuff you never knew you needed. Exercise freak is advertising a vibrating machine and he has varicose veins. Much preferred Simon on Bid TV where he was allowed to go bonkers. He looks fitter now tho, relatively.

    @MillieMatters @GaryLineker Well it was useful advice. It's not my problem that you decide not to act on it. So, you're not forced to pay a licence fee. You choose to so you can watch Freeview. You have internet on your phone that you can tether to another device btw.

    @BBC The viewing public are not ‘celebrating’ being forced to fund your moribund corporation. The BBC is not an essential service, so the taxpayer should not be forced to pay for it, just for the privilege of watching Freeview on their own televisions. #defundthebbc

    @ImTommyHill Freeview TV signal still seems ok here.

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    @DTIF__ As per article, Freeview is preparing for IP fallback giving users access to Freeview channels via IP. This will be built into newer Freeview Play models as part of CLM support.

    @MarkWai84310597 Hi, Mark. If your Freeview box is stuck on boot even after switching it off and back on again, check your boxes manual to see if there is a reset procedure. Otherwise, you'll need to contact the boxes manufacturer for support on resetting it. Fraser

    @FreeviewTV I would like to make a complaint about lack of freeview tv channels in my area. Please provide an email address for my complaint.

  • TheKingisKauto Patrick Anthony (@TheKingisKauto) reported

    @JimKarasBoxing I have no boxing business experience, I’ll say that part first. But surely that was the type of fight you sell to a regular freeview tv audience to build up interest/excitement in a fighter for a bigger fight on ppv down the line.
