    @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.

    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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • o2brain bi.on.ic (@o2brain) reported

    @GMB I intend to cancel my Gas (£120 pm) & Gas Service contract (£50 pm) and go all electric .. the Sky contract is going (going freeview) .. already cancelled home insurance, health insurance, and burial insurance

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie 🇺🇦 (@Brekkietweets) reported

    Any news on when BBC4/CBeebies HD will return to Freeview? Seems odd to have such a problem at last minute given the space for another HD channel has theoretically been on the mux for over a year and Arqiva are forever squeezing in extra channels to their SD muxes.

  • BonoITFC 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝟮 🇺🇦 (@BonoITFC) reported

    @rachii1979 @FairyLucindalu Radio commentary is on Freeview, Channel 720, never remember it being available through my TV but tonight it is so huzzah, COYB

  • CatIpswich Toby the Cat (Ipswich) (@CatIpswich) reported

    @ModernCassie Never knew it existed. Who will screen it on Freeview?

  • ChrisTheDJ Chris Merriman 🇺🇦 (@ChrisTheDJ) reported

    Actually that's not strictly true. Freeview will be offering internet streams of channels as back up in the future, but no sign of when, so that doesn't help you today.

  • DJSimonUK DJSimonUK (@DJSimonUK) reported from Gillingham, England

    @skytv is there a problem with channel 103 itv1 on sky tv and also on freeview .,., sounds been cutting out all day ,, not just with me ??? Gillingham Kent ME7 AND Also CT5 Whistable Kent,,

  • MarkLeicester7 MarkLeicester (@MarkLeicester7) reported

    @cjayanetti @CarefulTweeter Not sure about that. I have never sat down one evening to go online & watch it, but if it was on Freeview and there was nothing else on then I might channel hop onto it for a bit. It's niche, but unlike the right with their countless options, there's not much else similar.

  • PiesMcQ Pies McQ (@PiesMcQ) reported

    @russty_russ when it came to an end, there were 5 mainstream channels, there was no freeview, no netflix, no streaming at all, to split the audience share- and sky was still crap. it was crap, and far outlived its natural life good riddance, pity it didn't end Noel Edmonds' career as well.

  • MarkLanzarote MarkLanzarote (@MarkLanzarote) reported

    @ImmuneNaturally @LozzaFox @TalkTV Yup its **** on freeview atm

  • DJGaryBaldy DJGaryBaldy (@DJGaryBaldy) reported
