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

  • 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.

  • 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 😂

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

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

  • 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!

  • 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

  • danmo117 Dan (@danmo117) reported

    @addicted2newz Their YT channel is the only way I can watch because the freeview quality is so poor. In HD on YT 👌🏻

  • paulofthepool Paulofthepool (@paulofthepool) reported

    @DeliaNGoG That is really low signal strength. Is this via an aerial or digitally? If an aerial looks like it's out of whack direction-wise. Had a storm? If using Freeview you probably will lose a lot if not got decent signal strength and only picking up from nearest transmitter.

  • mattystan1972 Matt Stanley (@mattystan1972) reported

    @amazonfiretv Just done an update. Now my tv is stuck on Home Screen. Can’t watch freeview tv, change input. Can only watch Netflix prime and Disney. No freeview no PlayStation. Help.

  • Atkins_Sam Sam Atkins (@Atkins_Sam) reported

    @Chris_Ince The issue is they can only have 2 streams at any one time as part of their licensing deal. So better to have it on Red Button at all times than fill 2 main channels where other shows would usually be on. % without access to Freeview for red button channel is surely very small?

  • EnglishUDI Independent England.. England's Coming Home (@EnglishUDI) reported

    @SKAerials According to Freeview its a transmitter issue. Picking up signals from 2! Oh well. Might think about Freesat or just put up with it

  • TVRav 𝚁𝚊𝚟 (@TVRav) reported

    Damn it's on Freesat HD and Freeview HD, but not iPlayer 😫 #FML

  • Wood1760Steve J Steed (@Wood1760Steve) reported

  • Bitch88935403 ***** (@Bitch88935403) reported

    i want to able to watch channel hopping when it comes out so bad. curse freeview

  • ChrisBrownSport Chris Brown (@ChrisBrownSport) reported

    @NorgeChester Worst timing! Can’t you just watch on Freeview?

  • bahookey4 Bahookey4 (@bahookey4) reported

    @B260Eb @AnnSkelly3 Cool , An elderly neighbor had same issue when she bought a TV with Freeview Inc , They installed it with Ariel to the TV not her Freeview box and she sat without TV for weeks thinking it was broken . Tbh they should've set this up for her when installing 👍
