  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • LouiseRawAuthor Dr Louise Raw (@LouiseRawAuthor) reported

    Part 2 of #TheLabourFiles now! Freeview 235 Al Jazeera. It’s painful watching footage of @jeremycorbyn being bullied & mobbed again. But @andrewfeinstein is great, condemning REAL,vile antisemitism & showing the dishonesty of labelling mere support for Palestinians as that.

  • moragfulton Mammyyes A'Woke' ♿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@moragfulton) reported

    I have a problem, its a good problem. After my tv died I was lucky enough to be given a new one (by someone very special) so trying to set it up. Its working great apart from one thing....I can watch anything on Samsung tv plus but its not giving me normal freeview. Help?

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @kroylance1955 Hi Alice, 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

  • wurzel260654 Sarah , Lucy,Nella and Wurzel . (@wurzel260654) reported

    @Stephen87495131 @SkyNews They will. So pay tv needs to go Nothing wrong with freeview. Don't buy or take contracts out on the dearest ipads. The Government help for utilities should have been means tested and increased. 100% increase is unaffordable. Food prices are rising especially essential foods.

  • Platypuss Louise (@Platypuss) reported

    @TPTVEncore How do I get talking Pictures on Freeview? I have tried finding it but the channel does not come up. I have scanned the TV and restarted but still no luck, can anyone help?

  • vnlbeans VNLbeans (@vnlbeans) reported

    @Chr1stop4 @skytv Yep. My Sky Q isn’t working. Been with 20+ years. Tried to phone 3 times now 55 min wait, 40 min wait and 45 mins tonight. It’s unacceptable. Next call will be to cancel, Freeview, Disney and Netflix will be fine for me since they can’t be bothered.

  • christie_rudd Chris/Christie/Chrissy❤️ (@christie_rudd) reported

    @LauraRebeccaa @tvshows_addict1 @KCoubrough17 I'm watching it all again to get proper sense on seasons I haven't been able to see. Season 16&17 are on Freeview with ads but too many and then season 23 I found on Hulu got rid of that app because it was stupid amounts of ads every 2 seconds

  • dvjj Di D (@dvjj) reported

    @virginmedia Area 21 down all day only to be told 45 minutes before it was due back on that its going to be 11:55 which is 4 more hours... recordings not recording and naff all on freeview grrrrrr

  • phil_creighton Phil Creighton (@phil_creighton) reported

    @Page_888 @russty_russ When there's a cheaper alterative for a quarter of the price, and there's a cost of living crisis - it's an easy cutback. If I was Radio Times King, I'd make print edition Freeview channels only and try and get price down to £2. Would mean a lot of changes to get there.

  • McHaggis69 McHaggis69 (@McHaggis69) reported
