    @rlwjones @Nick_Metcalfe @MarkyBunny They made one champions League game per round free to air..usually the crap games though..they used to have a channel on Freeview..

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

  • TBeaterson Thom Beaterson (@TBeaterson) reported

    @John_BHarvey Spender never seems to get the same repeat treatment that some other shows from that era get on freeview (or does it?) A shame - I imagine it still stands up.

  • Edinburgh59 Alex (@Edinburgh59) reported

    @ArgosHelpers hi I wanted to order a 24 inch Bush television Freeview dvd combi but it won't let it be delivered to me fast track why and you've just lost a £139 customer

  • HarryWatson63 Harry Watson (@HarryWatson63) reported

    @feastsandfables @eberlin I think the Food Network is Freeview. I quite often 'dip' into it.

  • StevenGillespi4 Steven Gillespie. (@StevenGillespi4) reported

    @GBNEWS Meaning I only have Freeview do have access to BBC but that is what it is spinning, Sky cinematic shots of explosions not bad but repeated endlessly GB News doing a sterling job I have heard discussioms & you have taken polls must say it's good.

  • mwoodwriting Matthew Paul Wood (@mwoodwriting) reported from Redcar, England

    There's an important point to be made about internet freedom and search algorithms but I can't be bothered all that so... The internet is like Freeview now. "Do you want this crap thing you didn't ask for on CNN 1, CNN 2, or CNN extra?" 😾

  • energylevel MCFC4Heatons 💎🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@energylevel) reported

    @manners_stacey If you have a premium TV service from SKY or Virgin you could save there. We're switching to Freeview. With the all the players & catchup don't really feel we need a lot of the functionality of a premium TV Service anymore..

  • NYCBabe Joanne 💙 (@NYCBabe) reported

    @AskOneHousing @OneHousing @OHGResidents I’m now sick of your contractors accidentally cutting off our Sky and Freeview signal when they’re using the communal cupboards as a dumping ground. This is the umpteenth time since Christmas this has happened! 🤬

  • lee_alley Lee Alley (@lee_alley) reported
