    @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...😳

  • thelobsterboy Paul Smith (@thelobsterboy) reported from Manchester, England

    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!

  • 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

  • garethrichmond5 Gareth Richmond (@garethrichmond5) reported from Bury, England

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

  • o_0yusuf Yusuf (@o_0yusuf) reported

    @WeHateDiana I never had these shows I had freeview

  • will_wren Will Wren (@will_wren) reported

    @Crystalangeles2 @MoriartyProfJ3 If you abolish the TV licence you close down Freeview, 4G & 5G - TV licence also pays for that

  • hotheron JoJo (@hotheron) reported

    What is the deal with Discovery+? Every commercial on freeview channels is some awful Jon Benet ,OJ death or horrible violent crap feature. Do you really think someone watching Antiques Roadshow is your target audience??

  • LauraVCook1980 Laura Cook (@LauraVCook1980) reported

    @samrenke @Channel4 I watch All4 through a Panasonic Freeview box and I don’t have issues.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @christigoesloco @a516digital Not a problem on other platforms of course, and not a problem on the freeview fallback system, but a problem for older tv and box users.

  • gerardmurray14 Gerard Murray (@gerardmurray14) reported

    @CellaH26 @PastorJimberoo3 I no longer listen to the biggest gobshite in the country. This is 1+ reason why I do not. Nolan & BBCNI working together. I no longer wish to contribute to their salary. Plz anyone point me to alternative service where i can watch freeview channels without paying BBCNI. Thx!

  • GoldenPotato333 333 (@GoldenPotato333) reported

    @Naked_stef @TheSun You can have a TV. But it's whether they use freeview or sky. Most TV is garbage and you can normally access many things online anyway. Plus who wants to pay TV license for the Jimmy Savile Channel anyway?

  • Smylers2 Smylers (@Smylers2) reported

    @cleanfeed_ttvr Thanks. Where can it go on Freeview? Its former position of channel 7 appears to be mainly being hogged by a couple of group of stations so bad they don't even have schedules on their websites.

  • RebeccaLouWard Rebecca Louise Ward (@RebeccaLouWard) reported

    @OurTardis63 I never got to watch this series of doctor who cause I could not find it on freeview :( On what channel can we watch doctor who these days?

  • EddieHenryJames E.H.James 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😬 (@EddieHenryJames) reported

    @FifiOink Haha. First discovered can't watch live on Freeview app, then tried to make an account which wouldn't work, finally managed to hack my own account and then finally buffering issues 😭
