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

    @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

    @badmissk @366DaiChallenge I bought a telly for my pensioner sister. I went into Currys and said "doesn't have broadband, not interested in streaming or 'smart', just wants the Freeview channels". You literally can't buy such a thing. I walked out with a JVC with 90% of its functionality she'd never use.

    @Neverfadingwood @Thebubblegunman Me, not since around 1997 (a black and white portable). I suppose when I say I've never used Freeview that's not strictly true as I've seen it on other people's tv, but really don't have any sense of what is or isn't available on it.

  • charltondoris Angela 🇺🇦 (@charltondoris) reported

    @TroubleDads @virginmedia Completely agree, i felt it was so unfair. What made it worse was that about 4mth after moving in, VM was supplied to the area! They would have known this too. I take great delight in putting as many off of VM as i can, awful company. Happily now have giffgaff and freeview 👍

  • RyanMorrisonJer Ryan Morrison (@RyanMorrisonJer) reported

    I can't get a Freeview signal (no rooftop aerial, powered indoor aerials don't work) and can't put up a satellite dish. Not paying Virgin. So trying to find a purely digital solution. None are easy or come with a simple guide/planner.

  • WayneDLawrence1 Wayne Lawrence (@WayneDLawrence1) reported

    I've just retuned my Freeview. I have 112 channels. That'll be @TalkingPicsTV and 111 crap ones then.

  • Sniffer1967 AFC1967 (@Sniffer1967) reported
