  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • vjlorenzato Victoria Lorenzato (@vjlorenzato) reported from Brentford, England

    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!

  • 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.

  • 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 😂

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

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

  • SianJasper Sian Jasper (@SianJasper) reported

    @LibbyKerensky I find Freeview boring quite a lot of the time, I can flick through channels without finding much of interest. I don't use my Dusney+ streaming service as much as I thought though. (Probably cos I cant get it to work on my ancient TV)

  • AndyD_Ninja 🔰Andy Danbury (@AndyD_Ninja) reported

    @SkyUK #skyglass? Qs. 1. Who manufactures the TVs for Sky? 2. If you cancel sky, this then renders the TV useless? 3. No option to view any other service? eg freeview 4. No alternative if BBand dies? 5. No such thing as "live" TV as everything is delayed? Not enough info given on this.

  • Pogit Richard Adams (@Pogit) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’m asking if its coming to Freeview Play, why would Sky know that? The BBC have said it’s coming to internet connected TV services (including Sky Glass). Freeview Play is an internet connected TV service it not? One not limited by manufacturer unlike Sky’s service.

  • JeremyBennett JeremyBennett (@JeremyBennett) reported

    @MartinSLewis Amazon Prime and Netflix ! I clicked Amazon Prime above, because it is included in the delivery service so is effectively "free". We don't have Sky as we cancelled that many many years ago. We use iPlayer, 4OD, ITVOD, etc quite a bit too. For terrestrial we use HD Freeview.

  • ChefGarethS Chef G (@ChefGarethS) reported

    @BustedSpyke @BBC I thought the Red Button on BBC was free? I'm guessing it is if you have freeview on your TV but how'd you get to watch that on a laptop / mobile device? As for the online commentary, I've got the same problem as I'm just on the edge of 95.5FM's area 🤬

  • lesley3110 #HelloMyNameIs Lesley (@lesley3110) reported

    @4Viewers Is this still a problem as I have no C4 catch-up on my Freeview?

  • finchiniho John Finch (@finchiniho) reported

    @greatmoviesuk I've rescanned my Freeview box and my Freeview TV, but I can't get the Christmas channel, I'm in Kent, please help as I want my Christmas movie fix!

  • smogski74 Phil Parkes (@smogski74) reported

    No tv signal... this bilsdale transmitter has alot to answer for..where can I get the freeview

  • greenkingdog steve green (@greenkingdog) reported

    bad atmospherics in London are causing a lot of Freeview channels to mess up BBC London, but because I am high up I can pick up BBC south and the reception is so much better

  • Beverle51995260 Foxy Bev 🦊 🦊 (@Beverle51995260) reported

    @arch1com Me. Freeview is crap, two different channels with Jaws 2 on at one point. Gone back to watching my DVDs. I've got a huge collection 👍
