@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

@FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

... plus I get to watch the home highlights/finest TV available (plus some garbage/filler I still enjoy!) Instead of watching what's available on virgin/sky/Freeview, I get to choose whatever when I want. I don't get why others haven't. Other than technical skills/knowledge

@janicecelticsmp @micheloola 1 of the apps ive got, you can download freeview channels. the catch is you have to log/sign in, thats b/c bbc is included. you cannot get all these freeview channels only b/c of the bbc. you should have a option to delete the bbc from the list.

Why did #BBC cancel their whole entertainment channels' schedules for Phillip on Friday? All viewers including freeview have access to News24 which is unashamedly loaded with fear and agendas. I thought the remit included entertainment at all times?

@CardozoAth @SteelDalek1 But they have a 24 hour dedicated news channel broadcasting on Freeview. Freesat. Sky's platform and the internet so people could watch that. But to be sure you can't escape they close down their other TV networks or relay the same output across them all.

@peakajy @DPJHodges BBC1 only had a 6% drop in viewing figures on Friday night. Amazing, considering it was just a one subject news broadcast. There are loads of options on Freeview. There is Netflix & Amazon Prime and even 📚 instead for those who “never watch the BBC anyway” for just a few hours.

@Macsgfbaker 100 channels on freeview, noone has traditional terrestrial TV anymore, shut down years ago. Most people moaning would never watch BBC live anyway, like you point out....its 5 channels only, oh and only 3 shopping channels out of that 100
