  • 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 😂

    @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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

    @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?

  • Julianlzb87 Julian Stephenson (@Julianlzb87) reported

    @ushasundaram @zombie_nun Don't stop watching just them. Never watch anything on the first page of the Freeview guide. It's a minor hassle but skipping down to The Smithsonian of PSB is worth it.

  • 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

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @Flicflacflwc How are you watching Matthew, Sky, Freeview etc? As we are not aware of any problems?

  • jon_2096 JP (@jon_2096) reported

    @petercrouch BBC1 is HD on Freeview, which is free, and it's also the first channel. Sky is the problem, not BBC!

  • dozecat007 Boris D'Burger-Zilla (@dozecat007) reported

    Abolish TV Tax, that's £13 per month into poor peoples' hands and there is plenty on Freeview. No excuse for Today and Sport presenters being made BBC millionairres #bbcaq

  • wewatchu2 Dan On Stolen Land (@wewatchu2) reported

    Anyone having problems with Freeview. I can't see a thing on my Kogan. Streaming OK but Live TV app is unserviced. 2 yrs old Teĺly. Now a USA service mob has jumped in, Bet they want to charge. #Kogan after sales contact? Pls help

  • 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.
