  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

  • fishinthedark1 fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

  • 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

  • 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 😂

  • JEFFREY03296741 JEFFREY PHILLIPS (@JEFFREY03296741) reported from Brentford, England

    @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?

  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

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

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

  • UB5simon Simon Bye 🐟🔶 (@UB5simon) reported from Southall, England

    All those **** channels on Freeview and it's BBC News HD that gets the chop 🤔

  • D_Hollingsworth Dan Hollingsworth (@D_Hollingsworth) reported from Rickmansworth, England

    When did BBC4 HD. Leave Freeview? What a load of ****, missed a chunk of #TOTP and joining it late with Michael ruddy Jackson.

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

  • 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.

  • Tommy_M_E_J Tom Jordan (@Tommy_M_E_J) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @njvns That’s so shit. It’s literally called freeview and yet it’s not free

  • vjlorenzato Victoria Lorenzato (@vjlorenzato) reported from Brentford, England

    Catholic Twitter UK- help please! Anyone know of a Mass being broadcast on TV tomorrow ( not via internet) Lovely elderly lady has Freeview but no internet.... TIA!

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

  • anthea_bailey Anthea Bailey (@anthea_bailey) reported

    Has anyone else got the Apple TV. Connection for their TV? It’s a nightmare and the worst possible way to watch TV. EE have given up their excellent system so I has no choice. Talk about long winded routes to watch. Mostly we have gone back to Freeview in the TV.

  • Carti_Mandua LadyAnniSpiceInCognito#CountessBimboIsBack# (@Carti_Mandua) reported

    @Gidon_Barak We watch most docs on Freeview about the camps etc ..horrific I know but more people need to watch them ... & whats noticable is that the survivors when telling their awful stories always smile are never bitter ... certain people could learn from this .. brings tears to my eyes

  • GaryEther Gary Ether (@GaryEther) reported

    @dedado6 @GBNEWS No, Freeview and Freesat are different. Freeview is a digital terrestrial service and is received via a TV aerial. Freesat is a satellite service and is received via a satellite dish. The channels are largely the same but there are differences.

  • BenWPope Ben Pope (@BenWPope) reported

    You can have Netflix, Amazon Prime, BBC iPlayer, Apple TV+, Disney+, Hulu, HBO, Quibi, MUBI, All4, ITV Hub, Freeview, Sky, a hoard of DVDs, a VHS library, a crystal ball, a glass shard cursed by a witch, but if you want to watch a specific movie go **** yourself it’s nowhere

  • InspectorMorose Inspector Morose 小麦 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇭🇰🇨🇳 (@InspectorMorose) reported

    @hhSonja I did a similar thing 10 years ago, when I bought my current house. I’ve since never missed any of Murdoch’s channels. Back then I just had the UK’s Freeview service, but later added Amazon Prime and Netflix.

  • jasondcoles Jason Coles (@jasondcoles) reported

    @LGUK Sorry but its still disappointing, separate apps for each catch service is not user friendly hence the need for Freeview Play. It’s a kick in the teeth for those who have invested in your product, especially as your promoting new models with Freeview Play. We have been let down!!

  • Logicumdictatu1 Logicumdictatus (prime minister elect) (@Logicumdictatu1) reported

    @minxyme72 Don't watch terrestrial TV anymore, at worst may put something on freeview that I know that I want to watch, but that is very rare as 99.9% of it is total woke pc crap.

  • Big_Tim47 BigTim47 (@Big_Tim47) reported

    @S66Cams @leximaecarter If only we could have Lexi on for just part of the night! Stayed up to stupid o’clock to discover she’s ON FREEVIEW for HOURS not appearing in Sky at all!! We pay a frigging SKY subscription! Feel ripped off after signing up today! Is this a piss take?!

  • gemisinlondon Gem (@gemisinlondon) reported

    @MattWWoolwich Haha, my TV only has apps and not conventional channels other than some bizarre Samsung random channels, never really saw the point of getting Sky or freeview as it’s just mainly Netflix these days!

  • Marknonpc Mark Jeffery 🇬🇧 (@Marknonpc) reported

    @tomhunt1988 The real answer is to end the licence fee and either get the BBC to take adverts or become a subscription based service, most people chose whether to pay for Sky, Netflix or Amazon etc, why must we be forced by law to pay for the BBC just to watch "Freeview"? #DefundTheBBC
