  • 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.

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

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

  • 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 😂

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • Christo20129392 Christopher Clinton (@Christo20129392) reported

    @TalkTalk Please can someone tell me why all of my Freeview channels are gone. Was on chat but then closed down before it was fixed!

    @sminkypinky76 @The_X_Stitcher Hi, You could try and manually tune into one transmitter to avoid this issue. It would be dependent upon how your aerial is aligned. We would be happy to help. Please DM Freeview Advice your postcode, house name and number. Melissa

  • OurManInBananas Philip Livingstone (@OurManInBananas) reported

    @channel5_tv is channel 5 down - in London all we see is a service card on Freesat and Freeview?

  • youspecialagent Your Special Agent (@youspecialagent) reported

    @offshorebella @NickUnitt Heard it is down on satellite and freeview

  • alfaguru St Scandalbags (@alfaguru) reported

    @tubbsmcguire @SteveDoherty1 By "it" I meant Freeview, not an aerial. If you don't have an aerial there are indoor ones that work fine as long as you are in a good signal area.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @RealMattLucas Hi Matt, Sorry to learn you are having issues with your Freeview reception. We would be happy to look into this for you. Please DM Freeview Advice your postcode, house name/number and we can look into this further for you. Melissa

  • pikminlover mellymelmelmel (@pikminlover) reported

    @TomDGreen @scottygb Actually - my bad - I read Freesat as Freeview. It's on Freeview for sure.

  • BBQMeatLovers Janni A(long last name) (@BBQMeatLovers) reported

    @7AFL Dude. My Freeview TV isn’t getting a proper signal. Soo rip for me

  • SketchLisa Lisa Harding (@SketchLisa) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hello! I set up a freeview box for a friend and she has all channels except channel 100 so she can’t use the apps and catch up etc. Can you help. It’s a brand new box and everything else works fine. Thanks
