    Some days I really wish I'd kept all those calls to @JimDavisOnAir on my freeview box. I've been sent way back in time with a USB memory stick, a few years back with some calls. Damn, I really miss those days with the song choice and #JimDavisLive And it was just brilliant radio

    @Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

    Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

    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.

    On the Freeview “REALLY” channel at 9pm, “Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?”. I’ve never seen it before, but I bet the answers not Jeffrey Epstein.

    @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

    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

    @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

    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

    @TalkingPicsTV Please make an Xbox app for encore. It would compete me (terrible freeview reception means I can’t get the broadcast channel)

  • AJdeVries2
    AJ de Vries (@AJdeVries2) reported

    I noticed whenever they show foreigners speaking Mandarin on Freeview TV28 it's always foreign men, some of whom are even married to Chinese women😒. But they never seem to show foreign women speaking the language, let alone with Chinese boyfriends/husbands.

  • tracey_wicker

    @ContactKingston @FreeviewTV @FreeviewAdvice Thank you for reply. I don’t know but freeview asked if there were any roadworks going on.. & there are others in KT2 that it’s affecting.. & no issues with Crystal Palace transmitter 🤔

  • Mark29507122
    Mark (@Mark29507122) reported

    @Clare16652923 @Nigel_Farage Problem is you can't watch any free live TV on other channels. That law needs to change. The BBC should be removed from Freeview as it's pay TV. On sky & virgin the picture can be scrambled. People then should be free to watch any channel except the BBC without a licence

    @FramptonRoz @FreeviewTV Hi Roz, Deepest apologies for the delay in responding. I am so very sorry you are experiencing issue with your Freeview reception. Can you please DM Freeview Advice along with your full postcode and house name/number and we will look in to this for you. Thank you, Melissa

    I am going to treat this Chinese takeaway just like I treated the ten minute freeview on TV X and The Adult Channel when I was a teenager: plan to drag it out for as long as possible, but I know I'll be finished in under two minutes! #TheOneShow #EURO2022

  • FramptonRoz
    Roz Frampton (@FramptonRoz) reported

    @FreeviewTV People shouldn't waste their money. Freeview ourages have been horrendous recently. You note a few most reports but don't list all the areas affected, which include most of the country. No access to TV at all is most recorded complaint but many have total blackout. Make it work!

    @kendo491 Any streaming service provided it isn't "live streaming" Gave up TV license years ago Have Freeview Netflix Britbox Acorn Paramount + Prime IMDB etc I share my subscriptions with family as most will allow 5 profiles over 4 separate devices Splits the cost

    Once again reminded how shockingly poor the HD quality is on Freeview. (Watching the match on ITV HD)

  • Clarkson1977

    @BBC I have no internet at home, watch only what’s on Freeview, haven’t used the iPlayer in at least 3 years, don’t “listen again” and have never downloaded a podcast in my life. Yet I am expected to pay the same as somebody who uses all these aspects of your service?
