  • 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

  • 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

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

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

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

    @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

  • 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.

  • 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 😂

  • 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.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    DAY 50 OF NO FREEVIEW Never on radio or TV nor with social media users such nonsense over loosing Facebook & pals. How one earth did people cope not sharing an image of what they're eating for dinner or a selfie standing infront of a mirror The horror

  • djrustynail Emmerson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇧🇧 (@djrustynail) reported

    @E4Tweets what is happening with the actually picture quality of e4 on standard freeview? It so bad the last few weeks? It’s like below SD quality of that was at all possible.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    Oh **** me @bbc5live all over whatsapp outage etc and the 'horrror'. Excuse me we haven't had even FREEVIEW since August 10th and due to come back 15th October...not a whisper

  • LMac1970 Mr Lawrence 😷 (@LMac1970) reported

    @KellyQuilt If really battening down, consider ditching any streaming or satellite commitments (FreeSat is good if you have a dish, FreeView if not). Moving to an electric car (or if unfeasible a certain vintage of Citroen C1, Toyota Aygo or Peugeot 106) will save you on fuel and road tax.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @stuart_gibbon Shouldn't be any problems Stuart. How are you watching us? Freeview? Have you tried retuning your box?

  • rivier Julie Hull (@rivier) reported

    Looks like Chanbel 4 on Freeview has just gone tits-up AGAIN. Damn it, I’ll have to rejoin Virgin at this rate!

  • HiFranc Francisco (@HiFranc) reported

    @KellyQuilt Do you use Freeview/Freesat or a paid for service? If the latter, may be time to switch to the former?

  • JAM_WAH Jamie Roberts (@JAM_WAH) reported

    @jamiesmart That's maybe more unsettling than a ghost! About 10 years ago I would wake up every night at exactly 3am without fail. 3am being the devil's hour or something. Freaked me out after a month or so. Turned out the Freeview box updated and made a noise.

  • jaymirro Jay (@jaymirro) reported

    No telly at all in Glasgow area @FreeviewTV since last night. Is the #freeview service goosed?

  • MissMin15305666 Miss Minnie (@MissMin15305666) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Pity they weren't able to get on with the job sooner. Needs an inquiry into why Natural England/North York Moors National Park could delay it so long. This is an emergency situation for a lot of lonely people. I commend Arquiva/Freeview for putting up with red tape.
