    @Ossyref I know but it’s not on Freeview. Not everyone has YouTube for TV or ability to watch on app. We ok as have Virgin but it’s still crap they ain’t showing it for others.

    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

  • FrancineFishpa4 Francine Fishpaw (@FrancineFishpa4) reported

    @ToryRambo @GBNEWS Most signal issues on any Freeview channel are due to the Transmitters and also weather. None of this can be fixed by @GBNEWS or any TV or Radio channel.

  • BigTonyReed Tony Reed Bruntwood (@BigTonyReed) reported

    2 days lost so far waiting for @bt_uk to turn up for an appointment to fix phone and broadband. 10 days with no service and different excuses each time. It's the hope that does you :) never thought I would be thankful for freeview.

  • jenzzie94 Jennifer Lawrence (@jenzzie94) reported

    Watching Bad Girls on Drama for a bit until the picture went but it has only just come back, I the signal on free view is rubbish tonight #badgirls #freeview

  • jayaumes Jay Aumes (@jayaumes) reported

    @NickBuckleyMBE @DefundBBC Totally agree. I've been saying this for years. Unlike other people who suggest turning it into a subscription service, I say just force them to show commercials instead like all the other channels on Freeview.

  • ChrisBrownSport Chris Brown (@ChrisBrownSport) reported

    @NorgeChester Worst timing! Can’t you just watch on Freeview?

  • baggottsilver michael baggott (@baggottsilver) reported

    @BromleyCrossBoy I’m afraid I’m in the stone age with Freeview (absolutely not a fan of the paid services, the horrid Murdochcracy or Branston Pickled)

  • Amanda45887585 Amanda (@Amanda45887585) reported

    @DisorderAwesome Only have freeview I think. Don’t pay for any service

  • MusicSparrow Tracy (@MusicSparrow) reported

    @BBCSport Why are there not more channels available on the BBC to watch the Olympics? Freeview channel 601 isn't even available in HD. It's very poor already.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @dramachannel The trouble is the general bit rate and 540x544 resolution are so poor on Freeview that even the adverts and trailers frequently look like they are being played from a badly worn VHS tape, add archive material to that and it becomes a blocky detail free mess.

  • MatthewKing35 Matthew King (@MatthewKing35) reported from Southampton, England

    @jonny_b_badde @Nigel_Farage Don’t need to I haven’t watch @GBNEWS since it started I could ether watch on Freeview 236 or virgin 626 but done nether except I watch 50 seconds 25 on Freeview picture and sound was crap 💩 and virgin picture and sounds was very good but channel is bollocks all time crap 💩
