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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 😂

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

    @Frugal_ways @FreeviewTV Hi Deano, I am so very sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. Please DM your postcode and house name number and we will look into this for you.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @FreddieLuton Hi, I am so very sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. High pressure has been present for a few days and hopefully will move on soon. If you have retuned, you will have to retune again once the weather changes.

  • JibbleBobble Jamie Matthews (@JibbleBobble) reported

    @ricardoautobahn Most things on That's TV are in the wrong aspect ratio. Some (un)lucky viewers can also find That's TV on channel 7 on Freeview where it is disguised as the 'local tv' service. Still worth a watch to see the Thames TV logo at the start of Benny Hill.

  • MarkWalters_ Mark Walters (@MarkWalters_) reported

    There's nothing quite like your broadband connection dying to make you fear that you might be stuck with the standard terrestrial TV channels & Freeview only this Christmas 😱 Seems to be a known area outage so hopefully fixed soon 🤞Phone dead too of course.

  • Dude285403924 Dude 2! (@Dude285403924) reported

    @tvlicensing the crap being shown on "Freeview" this Christmas, is being repeated on a DAILY basis! This is disgusting when a TV license is so expensive!!

  • CarolaGroom Carola Groom 😷 (@CarolaGroom) reported

    Bad news: Muppet Christmas Carol only on Disney+ this year. But of course loads of great old movies are on Freeview tomorrow…

  • Bandtraxs Clad Traxs (@Bandtraxs) reported

    @GBNEWS 🗣your video/audio bandwidth is poor on Freeview. You should increase it. It’s awful.
