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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 😂

    @markelkin81 No problem. I'm glad you found the cause. Hopefully back to watching Freeview soon. Christine

  • NickHackett2 Nicholas (@NickHackett2) reported

    @MisterTimmr1 As for sports I ment watching them not playing them, for hiking there’s kilvey hill spelt it wrong but type in to Google with word Swansea you see it. It has a tower on it for freeview coverage which is ok. in my area it’s bad. Singleton park has music events on

  • SteveSonLad109 Sausage🍀🐯 (@SteveSonLad109) reported

    @Deji500 Dreadful take this, Poindexter. One of the single worst and ignorant tweets I’ve ever read. Slam on the 10 minute freeview and have a tug, you daft get.

  • BillSar93780206 Bill Sargent (@BillSar93780206) reported

    @mi06572550 @CliffHangerLON @danwootton At least RT was pure comedy. GB News is like a mental ward - it's a mirror image of the cabinet. Never have so many angry, ill-informed non-book reading freaks been allowed on Freeview channel 8,000.

  • rugbyleagueontv RugbyLeagueonTV.com (@rugbyleagueontv) reported

    FreeSports will be removed from the Freeview service tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes Premier Sports 3 before September.

  • Jonno1711 Jonathan (@Jonno1711) reported

    @poshabroad @dcunited How’s the game? 3 - 0 down! Don’t look like scoring! (Watching it on some freeview channel)

  • BradTRC BradTRC (@BradTRC) reported

    @Mark56623345 @a516digital This is was in the digital age as it was only 2 years ago. The Weymouth transmitter is poor, and 95% of residents there have Sky/Freesat, due to the poor Freeview.

    @Oliver___Brett @ChrisAO123 @carriesparkle Hi Oliver, 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, Dylan

  • adam13648254 NeighboursFriends - Preparing for the next Chapter (@adam13648254) reported

    @AustralianPony Channel5 at lunchtime then 5star a substation about 30 channels down Freeview guide at 6.30pm

  • FastRSolutions FastR Solutions Ltd (@FastRSolutions) reported

    @4CAnalytics @The_Expert_Eye Oh yes remember that. We gave up on Lost when it went to Sky, as we only had Freeview back then & I heard the ending was poor. It had lost its way before then. I quite liked watching Manifest aside from her eyebrows, need to catch up on that, as it's now on Netflix
