  • MagicSky_UK Nick Francis (@MagicSky_UK) reported

    @bbcnews @freeview dont watch BBC News in morning as its just a copy of the breakfast chat show on BBC One. Now you take BBC News HD off freeview, so won't be watching it at all! Just like I never watch BBC local news. #bbcnews #freeview

  • BobsNotYaUncle Paul (@BobsNotYaUncle) reported

    I know it's on iplayer, my point was not that I can't watch it. I have a Freeview DVR, I now have 4 eps recorded out of a series of 6. If they show tonights final ep I'll have 5. There was no reason to move channels for a first round match other than to **** viewers over. Again.

    @TalkTalk how do we get to speak to someone about freeview not working? I'm fed up of automated service, it's been 4 days now!

  • FastRSolutions FastR Solutions Ltd (@FastRSolutions) reported

    @4CAnalytics @The_Expert_Eye Oh yes remember that. We gave up on Lost when it went to Sky, as we only had Freeview back then & I heard the ending was poor. It had lost its way before then. I quite liked watching Manifest aside from her eyebrows, need to catch up on that, as it's now on Netflix

  • ThatsTVOfficial That's TV (@ThatsTVOfficial) reported

    @Michael11923873 Yes, some areas of the UK including Humber will be able to receive both our local service (on channel 7 or 8) and our national services (on channel 65 and 91) on Freeview from tomorrow. These are all SD services. Pass on the message: Retune 30 June!

    @cordbusters You can watch Freesports on free to air satellite as well. Won't miss it on Freeview as I could never get anything on com7 🤷

  • alffy1977 Anthony Hudson (@alffy1977) reported

    @virginmedia I want to reduce my package as I can't afford my current price but all offers are more expensive. New customers get 100mb and freeview for about £30, I was quoted £60 lol. I'll run my contract out and the next day become a new customer for a better deal. Stupid scenario

    @AustralianPony Channel5 at lunchtime then 5star a substation about 30 channels down Freeview guide at 6.30pm

  • BillSar93780206 Bill Sargent (@BillSar93780206) reported

    @mi06572550 @CliffHangerLON @danwootton At least RT was pure comedy. GB News is like a mental ward - it's a mirror image of the cabinet. Never have so many angry, ill-informed non-book reading freaks been allowed on Freeview channel 8,000.
