    @soapachu The fact that they're hogging valuable bandwidth on Freeview will never not infuriate me. In a saner world they'd not exist and Talking Pictures would have the budget and spectrum space to go HD.

  • stormcab stormcab (@stormcab) reported

    @Hrawli @cowell64807 I got rid of cable/satellite TV few years back. Was ridiculous paying £30 extra a month for what you get for free with Freeview. Sky wanted to put a dish in part of the building that would look horrible. I pay £32 a month for internet & a phone line rental.

  • sb00020 Sam Brett (@sb00020) reported

    @LGUK @Cynic1311 What a joke. So the 2019 and 2021 models support freeview play and all4, but the 2020s don’t. Congratulations on losing a customer and I’ll be sure not to recommend LG

  • MisVeganthropic Mis-vegan-thropic (@MisVeganthropic) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice You mention London and a couple of other places but there is nowhere I can find the status of Bolton (BL4) We have had no freeview since this morning will you acknowledge and confirm that the service is down in our area?

  • lewstringer Lew Stringer, Cartoonist (@lewstringer) reported

    @DavidinKent @MerielMyers Those papers never seem to go into much detail about the programmes though like the Radio Times does. I'm not sure if they cover all the Freeview channels or radio.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Nope nothing now in TS26 Hartlepool had just 6 channels pre the 7th nothing over weekend, 10% signal strength during day today now 0%signal at night piss poor Freeview

  • pagettony tony paget (@pagettony) reported

    @SkyNews Skynews the worst channel on freeview #SkyNews #brokelockdownrules

  • EnufAd ad enuf (@EnufAd) reported

    @BorisJohnson When you say behind bars….do you mean a nice comfy, carpeted en-suite room with freeview TV, 3 meals a day and human rights protections that exceed those of normal law abiding citizens….sounds terrible

  • FatherPeter11 Bacon Dog 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@FatherPeter11) reported

    @rainie1410 On freeview you get the same crap all the time. Endless repeats of Border Patrol USA or Come Dine With Me and Four In A Bed. You’d think that they would realise that maybe the public have seen enough of this crap and it’s time for a change.

  • The_LizMarshall Liz Marshall 🌈♐🦄🙋🏻‍♀️ (@The_LizMarshall) reported

    @CharlieREBH76 @4Viewers @E4Tweets That's terrible. I missed the last season too because of the weirdly bad airing of it and could never find it online to stream. Such a shame as it's an amazing series w/ nothing else like it on freeview 😔
