    @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.

    @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

  • 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.

  • UB5simon Simon Bye 🐟🔶 (@UB5simon) reported from Southall, England

    All those **** channels on Freeview and it's BBC News HD that gets the chop 🤔

  • 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 😂

  • 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

  • JEFFREY03296741 JEFFREY PHILLIPS (@JEFFREY03296741) reported from Brentford, England

    @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?

  • 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

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

  • Arsenal0819 Arsenal Mania (@Arsenal0819) reported

    To really bring football back to fans and boot the rich out of football - all matches to be shown on freeview channels I’m sure SKY will support this 🤡

  • airlineboy666 Graham (@airlineboy666) reported

    @janetrmason @BBCBreakfast @sallynugent I suspect most of those families have full sky packages, iPhones and other luxuries. We eat well and cheaply BUT I have to use Freeview and I cannot afford a £100's top rated phone. My families goes without nothing BUT we live to our means. I witness many who claim to be poor...

  • Bill_FJ_Quinn Bill Quinn (@Bill_FJ_Quinn) reported

    @FreeviewAU I'm sure you mean well, but if you're not on the east coast, it is ****ing impossible to safely predict when a show might start on any given network on #Freeview. ****ing impossible. #TV #FTA

  • Ianhirst666 Mr Wazzock (@Ianhirst666) reported

    Just tuned into freeview channel 719 to listen to #bcafc only to find that it's Ogturd covering the ******* dog shaggers instead! Wtf?

  • DSheight DwightSheight (@DSheight) reported

    @SamanthaMalin When we're over in Spain we've got a Freeview box with only about 8 or 9 channels that actually work. It's bliss. And we wind up watching stuff we never normally would in the UK with our 20 million Sky channels & Netflix. It really takes the pressure off so I get that totally.

  • StrictlyOsprey Mark Jones (@StrictlyOsprey) reported

    @RuthElleson I think part of the problem is there used to be two Red Button channels on Freeview to cover the two tables. That and the statement BBC4 is no longer for original programming so at least it’s not a repeat!

  • JessJBT Jess Jordan (@JessJBT) reported

    Anyone else having problems with @FreeviewTV in Kent? #freeview say there are no issues but I find that hard to believe! Only BBC at ours :( @FreeviewAdvice

  • GeoffBrewer Geoff Brewer @RenewParty #FBPE #APPG @MakeVotesMat (@GeoffBrewer) reported

    2/ the EE TV service. What are other formerly happy EE TV clients feeling about and doing about this? Is there any way we can continue to use the EE TV box for receipt, recording Freeview programmes etc ?

  • JontoKaye1 Jonto Kaye1 (@JontoKaye1) reported

    @shannadelicacy @juliegrizzy I have freeview which has lots of never watch channels but it's free and meets our requirements. I do miss almost all sports/new films but I'm not paying £80 odd per month for them. Prime, Netflix and the rest are a waste of money. They can all get stuffed....
