    @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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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!

  • 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.

    @S4C @Geraint2019 Hi, I've been having exactly the same issue, watching it on freeview as well.

  • SamAHarvey Sam Harvey (@SamAHarvey) reported

    @pjgoodman @HammerGothic Have still never seen it 🤦🏻 Don’t have Freeview so can’t join in 😭

  • MrWheeliebin Mike Edie (@MrWheeliebin) reported

    What has happened to Film4 on FreeView? Garbage low bit rate video compression. Everything looks like Lego.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @EvanD @cleanfeed_ttvr @Channel4 It is. C4 usually carry two subtitle feeds. One teletext feed and one DVB subtitle feeds. Sky boxes still support teletext (even if subtitles is the only application left) Freesat devices support DVB subtitles only (same as Freeview incidentally).

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @TherealNihal @hayleycampbell @scottygb Coming soon to Teesside a 5V signal that allows you to actually watch TV via #Freeview, learnt a new phrase today I'm a "Notspot", an area where no signal with temporary measures in place until original mast sorted.....NEW YEAR? WHO KNOWS NOONE SEEMS TO GIVE A........

  • PriorMargaret Dr Margaret Prior (@PriorMargaret) reported

    @callaghansstuff @SimmsMelanie My mother never had any issues with remotes, DVD players, freeview boxes or mobiles. Just saying.

  • JeremyBennett JeremyBennett (@JeremyBennett) reported

    @MartinSLewis Amazon Prime and Netflix ! I clicked Amazon Prime above, because it is included in the delivery service so is effectively "free". We don't have Sky as we cancelled that many many years ago. We use iPlayer, 4OD, ITVOD, etc quite a bit too. For terrestrial we use HD Freeview.

  • mspaintera you can make my name out of "nyaitchinisan" (@mspaintera) reported

    @FreeviewTV freeview i have a serious question , what’s the point of your service it just redirects you to other apps

  • autisticlyaaron Aaron Williams They/Them ♠️💛💜🤍🖤♠️🏳️‍🌈🔶 (@autisticlyaaron) reported

    @JoGoldsmithE @charliclement_ Think for GBBO on the All 4 streaming platform time to come to be able to get it on Sky, Freesat, Freeview and stuff like that which is terrible

  • SianJasper Sian Jasper (@SianJasper) reported

    @LibbyKerensky I find Freeview boring quite a lot of the time, I can flick through channels without finding much of interest. I don't use my Dusney+ streaming service as much as I thought though. (Probably cos I cant get it to work on my ancient TV)
