  • 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 😂

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

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

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

  • 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

  • D_Hollingsworth Dan Hollingsworth (@D_Hollingsworth) reported from Rickmansworth, England

    When did BBC4 HD. Leave Freeview? What a load of ****, missed a chunk of #TOTP and joining it late with Michael ruddy Jackson.

  • 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.

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

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

  • EranE1980 Eran Edry (@EranE1980) reported from Camden Town, England

    @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

  • 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.

    @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?

  • MissBookay SB 🌻🏳️‍🌈🖤🥶 (@MissBookay) reported

    of all the streaming services I use (there are many as I don't have freeview, sky or virgin) @ITV is by far the worst... works as and when it wants, freezes, jumps, and won't let you pause/rw or fw... thank goodness I don't watch many of their shows...

    who knew, that there is help available if mobile masts are interfering with your Freeview Signal!? Just had a great chat with the people from Restore TV. Filters are available free of charge to help with interference. @RestoreTVHelp @FreeviewTV @FreeviewAdvice

  • gurncrop gurncrop (@gurncrop) reported

    @AboutEG Might be worth following @DowndetectorUK. You will get alerts for things you don't care about, but it was a great early warning for today's Twitter problems, and that recent Freeview outage - answers the "is it just me?" question.

  • Ex_Uknova Gary MacKenzie (@Ex_Uknova) reported

    @SirEdwardBooth @DavidPoulden You never paid the BBC , you paid TV Licencing which you need to pay to watch GBNews live on Freeview or Sattelite.
