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

  • 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 😂

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • DBD365 Paul Day (@DBD365) reported

    How ******** am I watching Clive James interview Katherine Hepburn for an hour on a Freeview channel called 'That's TV Xmas'?

  • RarityFusion LaqdBack2 (retired acc) (@RarityFusion) reported

    more like imdabitch, because imdbtv was a streaming service and now its freevee. what, is this a freeview ripoff?

  • NeilNeilasher Neil Asher (@NeilNeilasher) reported

    @SpoonWilsons @BBCNews No, not everyone. Anyone with Sky, Virgin, et al, would already have a box they could subscribe via. We all got STBs when the analogue signal was turned off, so we could get Freeview. How else can they police the, new, non-licence-fee era that starts in a few years time?

  • FiredupOnline We Are Firedup.Online (@FiredupOnline) reported

    £50+ a month for @skytv so decided to buy a smart tv and get freeview & Netflix instead for 1/4 the price. 15+ yrs a sky customer and not one call to ask why, just a letter to tell me to reset up DD #terriblecustomerservice Adios

  • barrelsuggs Ben G (@barrelsuggs) reported

    Love having no internet for the entire bank holiday weekend. No tv no video games not even freeview. No one can come fix till Tuesday. I’m already bored

  • jus_leese Justin Leese 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💙🇺🇦🌻 (@jus_leese) reported

    @RestoreTVHelp I’ll post your response into the Facebook Group in question. There are about 6 people reporting recent problems with Freeview through an aerial in Llantwit Major. I’ve put a generic postcode for the town into your checker and it’s an area which should have received your postcards

  • Oog Katy Moon Knight (@Oog) reported

    @TheAzzo We are suckers for Sky/Virgin, and our telly has all the apps and services etc etc. Can't remember that last time I used freeview telly 😬 Our Internet is also RIDIC so we have no streaming issues at all.

  • r_usefultractor 🏳️‍⚧️ reallyusefultractor 🇺🇦 (@r_usefultractor) reported

    We just got a new tv and what the actual **** is Samsung freeview? I'm pretty sure it's generated by bots because there's a whole *** Teletubbies channel and it has episodes from the original show and fan made animations stolen from YouTube

  • LaurenceBraith1 Laurence Braithwaite (@LaurenceBraith1) reported

    Anyone else finding that their #Freeview signal has substantially weakened 🤔 Found recently that terrestrial channels are inexplicably disappearing from our smart TV. Not sure if they've weakened the signal to save energy. We're in South Birmingham.

  • rxtv_info RXTV Info (@rxtv_info) reported

    And soon BT will be getting in on the IPTV act. It doesn't yet have a mini-box, but its YouView TV service - currently a hybrid of Freeview terrestrial & online-delivered channels is also moving towards all-IP delivery.
