    @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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 😂

  • 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!

  • 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.

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

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

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

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

    @WiniBoansi Have you tried watching it in Freeview, that's if you have Freeview? I sometimes get the same problems now & again. "Good luck"

  • trevorlong Trevor Long (@trevorlong) reported

    @JamesCridland @EFTM No mate, because you're the only one on the planet who cares:))) sorry... cross carry of EPG was an issue when i was at SBS - industry doesn't care, put too much effort into Freeview+ instead of the basic EPG - I hear ya... but, I'd be sticking with fetch:)

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @alan_jones They filled hours with Sky Travel Shop. Their main competitor on Freeview was TV Travel Shop. Of course, it was called DTT back then as Freeview only launched in the October. So many new channels arrived, although signal wasn't great.

  • Adjie16077 Claire Menzies (@Adjie16077) reported

    Next year I’m going to refuse to pay my TV licence until the government do something about our TV & the BBC as a corporation not as channels because they’re just as bad. I am fed up with watching the same program is repeated on different channels through Freeview & no subtitles

  • marshallmaps Roversgotmeagain (@marshallmaps) reported

    @deGourlay I know that, I’ve hidden it on my Freeview box. I had paid Sky for years but their BLM support was the last straw. I am no longer paying any money to Sky so have defunded them.

  • MisterBelly2u David Bell 🐝 🇾🇪🏍️🔭🏌️‍♂️💙 (@MisterBelly2u) reported

    @XSManchester Attempted to fix a Freeview aerial in the loft some years ago. Starting sneezing with all the dust, slipped off the joists and came crashing thru the spare bedroom ceiling. Straight out of a comedy film .... Carry On Belly. 🙄

  • marshallmaps Roversgotmeagain (@marshallmaps) reported

    @911Amelia @anetevt @SkyNewsBreak Why would anyone watch Sky News? I can get their "News" channel on Freeview but have hidden the channel to keep my blood pressure down.

  • voletamer Lloyd 💙 (@voletamer) reported

    @davemacladd Grant Shapps been working on his 'Smooth-talking-bastard-in-a-daytime-Freeview advert' delivery Just needed to offer a free Parker Pen at the end to put the icing on the crap 🙄🙄🙄 Insufferable bastards the lot of 'em

  • LJconservation Linda Kemp (@LJconservation) reported

    @SamanthaMalin We've been having problems over here too with signal dropout and pixelation. We aren't on Sky though, just Freeview. We weren't sure if our Humax box was on the blink as it's quite ancient now. Perhaps it's the 5G in the vaccines affecting the signal Lol!!!

  • mrssheardy Sarah Sheard (@mrssheardy) reported

    @plusnethelp the remote I have for the freeview plus box doesn’t work even after changing batteries, are you able to help with this please?
