Don't buy @panasonic Freeview recorders if you want to keep more than a thousand recordings per drive, because that's the stupid arbitrary limit they've set on drives. Want to fill up that 6TB hard drive? Tough, the arbitrary limit means you'll barely full it up at all

@FreeviewAdvice I was watching Challenge TV on Thursday evening on my TV with built-in Freeview. When I went to watch the same channel yesterday, a message “service is not running” appeared. Why has it been withdrawn without notice?

@Aaronau07516234 @SkyUK Good point! But can say that about any streaming service I guess. Still got Freeview. As it is now I can only watch a few of the Sky channels on NOW

Instead of paying this mob of #r4today presenters obscene six figure salaries to giggle and read a few words off a sheet of paper for a few minutes per week- abolish TV Tax and let the poor bennefit from the saving. Plenty of TV and radio on Freeview non BBC channels @BBCr4today

@LauraRebeccaa @tvshows_addict1 @KCoubrough17 I'm watching it all again to get proper sense on seasons I haven't been able to see. Season 16&17 are on Freeview with ads but too many and then season 23 I found on Hulu got rid of that app because it was stupid amounts of ads every 2 seconds

@SatonmyButt @freesat_tv I pay 2.49 a month to remove ITV adverts. My Tv signal doesn’t work well enough for freeview anymore. It’s well worth it! Plus there is UKTV app with drama yesterday and Dave freeview channels (free but adverts)

@FrancisAShailes Hi Francis, I am so very sorry Freeview do not currently offer a service for computer or laptops via the web browser. To access content we would recommend you use the broadcasters websites such as BBC iplayer, ITV Hub, All4, MY 5, UKTV Play and Together TV via your PC.

@twodoorgeorge @SkyNews Are actually saying we're not being forced to pay this? If you have sky, virgin, bt, freeview or freesat you are forced to pay it. **** labour I hope they are never elected.

@zombiestitcher Do you have Freeview Channel 65 "That's TV (UK)? It's back-to-back music videos. and old sitcoms From 10.00 to 13.00 and again at 15.00 to 17.00 it's "That's 80s - The Best Music" Some great videos worth having on in the background when your are not working.

Cartoon Network 30th is tomorrow. I'll still be asleep by the time OG Teen Titan shows sadly, and i dont think Freeview even has access to it. All I want to know is more info about the new Total Drama seasons 💀

@helensclegel Not on Netflix, but Great TV (Freeview 50) has that kind of stuff, plus US done-to-deaths such as Murder, She Wrote. As someone with mobility issues, with a partner who has spent over a year recovering after a serious accident, I know about harmless crap TV.
