    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!

  • 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 😂

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • IanOnFilm 🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈📽💿Ian Smith (@IanOnFilm) reported

    TV signal vanished last night again and still isn’t back. One week after fire was put out Freeview say 2+ more weeks to fix. It is staggering to me that the biggest transmission aerial in the country could have been decimated so quickly and with no real contingency plans.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital It's like the guy, "harry hill" who came to my house sent by freeview, I never asked for him, just turned up. Here to fix your TV mate,

  • WiggumCharm Tom Head (@WiggumCharm) reported

    That's your lot on this issue. Nothing more to say. Consider this the 10-minute freeview on Babestation and make do with it... 😎

  • CharlieandNige Nige & Charlie in Cornwall 🏳️‍🌈 (@CharlieandNige) reported

    @FreeviewTV Curious to know in the good old days here in Gorran Haven with analogue TV we might only of had 3/4 channels. Now with Freeview in certain weather conditions we get poor or no signal for days. We can retune and get French channels Can anything be done to resolve it?

  • tapper82 Tapper82 (@tapper82) reported

    @pvfc_carol Hi can you help out pleas. Since the BBC are now broadcasting the PVFC games over Freeview I can no longer injoi the Vale games. I am blind and use my radio to know what's going on when in the ground.

  • orkitecht85 sparky t k o (@orkitecht85) reported

    Today’s first world problem: switching to the I-Player for the Hundred match because the picture for BBC2 is a bit fuzzy on Freeview, and being a bit sulky that it’s about 30 seconds delayed.

  • WatsonJKnights Watson J.Knights (@WatsonJKnights) reported

    @MsAmiiEvlynB @FreeviewAdvice @FreeviewTV Mine went like this a few months ago. I contacted freeview they told me lots of things 2 try none worked.

  • nicolelc29 Nicole (@nicolelc29) reported

    @Manhattan_TV Hi, I have a t2 freeview box which seems to have suddenly disconnected from the Internet, though all is plugged in. When I try & record it says 'please wait, loading hard drive' & nothing happens, I've tried resetting, turning off at plug, can you help pls?

  • p__e__a__s p e a s (@p__e__a__s) reported

    @itreallyisEmma Freeview is ****** up here, love. Believe it or not, the transmitter burned down. Freeview officially down indefinitely.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @pigletish @roselc04 Hi Anneli, You can acquire Freeview boxes from most retailers, both online and in-store! In regards to indoor aerials, we do not recommend them as they are not guaranteed to provide a signal, they depend on a good line of sight to the transmitter to receive a signal. Dev.
