    @LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍

  • Putneyman
    Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

    @channel5_tv is the worst for catch up tv via your app or freeview. Just can’t find programmes sometimes. Trying to find Sally Lindsays posh sleepover. C4, itv and BBC never ever have a problem with. I give up with C5

    @bt_uk Thanks for the help. I spoke to freeview, tried a few things which didn't work but i contacted your TV help and after doing a few basic things somehow it appears to be working now! Very Strange. Tks

  • PlexNetflix

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on Freeview.

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

    Nik Rahmel (@niklasRen) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @Stephen_Neal Good shout! If we just take the Freeview/Freesat ones, we get to ten, excluding the National ones: 1) BBC One 2) BBC Two 3) BBC Four 4) CBBC 5) CBeebies 6) BBC News 7) BBC Parliament 8) Dave 9) Drama 10) Yesterday But they aren’t licence fee funded, so don’t help the argument.

  • Beige29
    DarkBeige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    Now I have the truly truly shit @EE freeview package (literally the worst selection of channels on earth but boy is it cheap broadband) I only watch the main 5 channels or SVOD. W, Dave, ITV2 etc are dead to me

    It's a good thing I am not reliant on terrestrial TV as the signal is as choppy as **** tonight. Freeview over the net is perfect. Been the same since the Bilsdale transmitter caught fire.

  • m1ctk
    Dave (@m1ctk) reported

    @cordbusters Hoping that the video resolution will be higher than the poor 544 x 576 on freeview at 720 x 576 at least

  • MisterQuintus
    Tony Quintus 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@MisterQuintus) reported

    @DanielJHannan Now explain how you make BROADCAST TELEVISION a subscription service without a technology change on the scale of the move to freeview.

  • LSW1957
    Lorraine (@LSW1957) reported

    @Guyz20051 I do watch Freeview, I never watch Sky or Netflix or any of them, so much crap on the TV just watch the old stuff.x

    Popeye (@PopeyeFreeview) reported

    Freeview channel 71 That's Memories & That's TV 3 & That's 20th Century That's Memories issued Freeview PSB2 operates agreement licence in June 2024. Has that ran out? If it has ran out That's Media has to pay Everyone TV Millions of pounds. Everyone TV who runs and maintained the service. The dark side of Everyone TV theses people who want to closedown Freeview altogether as soon as possible. Arqiva who repair Transmitters and maintained wants Freeview to continue.

    monty and lottie. (emma) (@montysbiscuit) reported

    @dodgson_sally Since all the channels on Freeview carry adverts why on earth is the Govt getting involved in trying to scrap it? Surely it funds itself? Bad news for pensioners & disabled people who rely on access to tv every day. Better to scrap GB News & OfCom. @lisanandy @andyburnham

  • shugiehughie

    Sheffield Wednesday v Bradford on Freeview 8pm . . My Football fix for today after I finish work

    @fin_lay24 @OldRoberts953 Nice article, Finlay! Incidentally, I can't help thinking there was more choice and variety when it was just "four boring old channels" than when freeview came along and it became all UK That's Great Drama Yesterday +1.

    Richard Kaye (@JRichardKaye) reported

    @v8oholic @AdventuresVw @Roku I record everything using a freeview box so I can skip all the advert breaks, saves lots of time. My arerial is in my loft, but I have hardwired cat6 network sockets is all rooms too, which are more stable than WiFi.

    3 on Sky, 1 (or 2) on freeview somewhere and 1 (or 2) on super league plus? Obviously easier said than done but would help grow the game
