• THE BRITISH RESISTANCE🌊🇪🇺🇺🇸🇬🇧📷🗽🎥 (@Unruly_Brit) reported 9 minutes ago from Plymouth, England

  Since I've removed my freeview box, I've never frlt so liberated before. Being in absolute control of the content I wish to see (My dvd collection) is the best thing I've ever done. No more Sky News or BBC News being rammed down my throat evry day.

• Robert Bugalski (@rob_bug) reported 9 minutes ago from Peterborough, England

  @louiseminchin @BBCBreakfast @mrdanwalker I can’t see you now. Once again no Freeview Signal with any BBC channels. I lasted 5 seconds watching @GMB Once the wind has changed direction normal service for a while will resume. @clayton_philip

• Nik Rahmel (@niklasRen) reported 9 minutes ago 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.

• Daniel Bratcher (@luckystreetDB) reported 16 minutes ago from Yaxley, England

  I have freeview so in order to get my football fix tonight i watched the rerun of last Sunday’s thrilling #mls encounter between la galaxy and Vancouver whitecaps. By god the standard is poor. But I love football so it was great.

• Krys Cross! Cha Cha Real Smooth (@KAK_Tweets) reported 18 minutes ago from Treorchy, Wales

  @flickeringflxme I’ve never seen that one myself but somehow my granddad ended up buying it for himself which was made weirder by the fact he only had freeview so didn’t even have Disney Channel. He loved it though

• Tracey Davies (@miss_traceydav) reported 24 minutes ago from Corby, England

  @CraigS0309 I agree but they shouldn’t be taking new customers - fixing only. (Since they generally charged extra for this service). some people are a bit naive presuming everyone has access to Freeview

• David Roberts (@ServicetechDave) reported 29 minutes ago from Colwyn Bay, Wales

  @FreeviewAdvice Re:Winter Hill Freeview Retunes on Feb 20th &April 22nd,2020. Will there be assistance for those Viewers to Winter Hill,living in North Wales,such as the Help scheme,as in 2009. Winter Hill has Tens of Thousands of North Wales viewers.

• Jens Fallesen (@JensFallesen) reported 31 minutes ago from Hounslow, England

  @leksi_p Correct. If you do not have Freeview, Sky or Virgin (or any other cable service), you should not need to pay if you never watch it.

• Kevin Bull (@old_bob52) reported 34 minutes ago from Coventry, England

  @LewisHamilton @SilverstoneExp That may be the case Lewis. If you really want to inspire the next generation. F1 needs to be on Freeview. It willl never happen though.

• TRACEY LANE (@traceyfromrasen) reported 36 minutes ago from Market Rasen, England

  At least @RacingTV are consistent ( bad). Yet again 5 minutes into watching the live feed on Freeview and it stop,start and freeze frame. For those old enough to remember Norman Collier.

• TRACEY LANE (@traceyfromrasen) reported 42 minutes ago from Market Rasen, England

  Just for a change @RacingTV Freeview is stopping, starting freeze framed. I pay good money for this service.
