    @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 😂

  • 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.

    @scott_steve It is important. But if you don't want to watch it Freeview and Sky are doing other stuff. So change channels. Not a problem

  • peter_whiteside Peter Whiteside (@peter_whiteside) reported

    @Eliza Football is live on the Red Button. Freeview channel 601. 8pm to 10.15pm. No worries about net signal or time lag.

  • geordiechris48 Chris Johnson (@geordiechris48) reported

    @CourtTVUK Freeview picture breaking up. Seems to be ok on satellite. Are you having problems with Ch 89 or might it be a more localised transmitter problem?

  • IBLaughing Ian Bowden (@IBLaughing) reported

    How did Netflix & Chill get to be slang for a hook-up? What about Sky Q & ****? Amazon Prime & ****? Freeview & ****? All4 & ***********? That said, I do identify with Netflix the most. I want a commitment and if they try to leave I send several emails begging them not to.

  • tenjinuk Darren Wheatley (@tenjinuk) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Could you tell me if there is anyone I can contact to log a problem with Freeview reception?

  • andyjmorris Andrew Morris (@andyjmorris) reported

  • BenRattigan77 Ben Rattigan 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 💉 𝙉𝙃𝙎 💙 (@BenRattigan77) reported

    @virginmedia That £70 being for broadband which is on average about 20Mbps and TiVO box that has less channels than Freeview. The TiVO box is about 5/6 year old and has been crap slow since day one.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @davidkeatsuk This of course was given as the reason for suspending the former BBC Red Button 301 service on Freeview during the Opening Ceremony of London 2012 - BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three and BBC News all showing live or partial coverage.
