  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    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?

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @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.

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported from Camberwell, England

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on Freeview.

  • nessymon Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England

    @MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • MartinC93414706 Martin (@MartinC93414706) reported from Lambeth, England

    @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

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    Time for the BBC to close down the BBCNews channel as they always seem to put it on BBC1 at same time WHY as BBCNews is available on sky freesat and freeview you dont need it on BBC1

  • Davidp1103 David-19 (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @TalkTalk It would be nice if you could reduce or remove a £40 charge for an engineer who called but made no inspection of equipment, explained that Freeview channels had been altered; a fact that your customer services were not aware of, but should have known.

  • EranE1980 Eran Edry (@EranE1980) reported from Camden Town, England

    @FreeviewAdvice hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

  • summers_allan Allan Kempson (@summers_allan) reported from Romford, England

    @talkSPORT @Sjopinion10 That's a bad idea. Sky have rights to other sports too, so a netflix football service would be yet another thing to pay for if you like multiple sports. More football needs to be on freeview channels like BBC and ITV.

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

    @nowtvhelp I still got my old with the built-in Freeview TV all that still work and I do I'll come back to you because I transferred my account to BT I Wish I Never now if that box doesn't work I have to buy my NOW TV stick from you?

  • u0421793 Ian K Tindale (@u0421793) reported from East Ham, England

    The Good, the Bad and The Ugly is just starting now on Paramount network freeview 32

  • flowergirl_lon Sam (Flower Girl) Jennings (@flowergirl_lon) reported from Croydon, England

    @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.

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, England

    @MyHydeHome @SCCIAlphatrack Not even sure how that's possible there's no record anyways over the weekend we lost signal for the communal aerial it has become very weak very pixelated can pick up the Freeview HD channels

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

  • AStrangerJ A.j. Stranger #UTAG (@AStrangerJ) reported from Bromley, England

    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.

  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

    @bt_uk I got a problem it's not my fault and it's not BT issue I lost a lot of Freeview channels in my flat I went to no cancel and said you can have a dish because aerials are very bad in your area where you live we've had a lot of people coming to us about the same problem

  • HewiEdwards Wayne Edwards (@HewiEdwards) reported

    @UKTVPlayHelp All the other streaming apps work ok, iPlayer, ITV X, All 4, My 5, aswell as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. The problem is only with the Freeview Play platform.

  • DJGaryBaldy DJGaryBaldy (@DJGaryBaldy) reported

    @yoothaismyqueen If there's a film that's being shown way too often on Freeview it's that film it's never off Talking Pictures only so many times you can watch it in 12 months.

  • HewiEdwards Wayne Edwards (@HewiEdwards) reported

    @UKTVPlayHelp Hi, it is via the Freeview Play platform, which is a pre-installed app. There is no dedicated UKTV Play app in the Philips Saphi app store. The problem seems to occur on all UKTV channels. The last time it was working, was probably about 1 month ago, that I can remember.

  • AlexLaverty4 Alex Laverty (@AlexLaverty4) reported

    @rickygervais I never watched it. If it's on Netflix I'd need to **** ma granny. If it's on Prime I'd rather shimmy Besos shiny we heid. If it's on Disney I'd rather watch Mickey Mouse copulating with Donald Duck. But if it's on Freeview..... trying catch it

  • FreeviewTV Freeview (@FreeviewTV) reported

    @pearce1999 Hi Karl, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. so, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks George.

  • E17Observatory Walthamstow Observatory (@E17Observatory) reported

    Hi @plex, Seasons Greetings to you all. I'm looking to add a USB TV device to my @NVIDIASHIELD, I'd prefer to use Freesat as it's better quality than Freeview but @HauppaugeHQ say you don't support DVB-S - is this likely to change anytime soon - especially as DVB-T is at risk?

  • robertredfern75 The Northerner Who Loved Me (@robertredfern75) reported

    @SoVeryBritish Always having their home Freeview signal breaking up.

  • fjcruiserdxb Patricia T.™💰⛵🐾❄️ (@fjcruiserdxb) reported

    @paullewismoney Every other ad is abt gambling on freeview with the usual disclaimer, don't gamble too much, it's bad for you. Worrying & sad.

  • Mattcmoore464 Matt Moore (@Mattcmoore464) reported

    @tvtimesmagazine I brought ur Christmas issue I have for the 1st time can't u make the listings much bigger its all to small freeview channels

  • 4mulawun 4mulaHammer (@4mulawun) reported

    @micronautsFan @NoContextBrits To be fair up until about 20 years ago (roughly) we had 5 whole channels haha. When satellite TV came in then Freeview as I am sure you know, it all changed but we never had the US style 200+ cable channels until quite late on.
