    @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.

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

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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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 😂

    @Bert1897 @J0hn8ev @MikeKeegan_DM ******* you're stupid. If they stop the TV licence, how do you think they'll fund the BBC & the freeview platform? We'll just start paying for it through taxation.

  • 2_Wheeled_Wolf @2_Wheeled_Wolf 🇪🇺 (@2_Wheeled_Wolf) reported

    @drewsnx oh look its another pile of **** spouted out on the bigoted TV channel. The channel that's been deleted from every freeview box & TV.

  • LockdownManC Obsidian #BLM #3.5% (@LockdownManC) reported

    @BladeoftheS Soon as I saw that crap on our Freeview list I deleted.

  • owlladycal Owlladycal (@owlladycal) reported

    @theoneringnet ..UK has Never had that in our cinemas (that i recall) & Never seen Extended LOTR (or Hobbit) on Any tv or Freeview channel. Sadly we dont get LOTR on any station any more... but older films are repeated ad nauseam weeklly, monthly, yearly...😣😢

  • seanski44 Sean Riley (@seanski44) reported

    @drstevebagley yeah, but my point is more that the same content is separately uploaded on multiple platforms - so actually maybe rather than channels, these apps are like Sky/Virgin/Freeview. Some of which require login/pay, some of which don't.

  • MightyMalicos MightyMalicos (@MightyMalicos) reported

    @happysolderer @BBCNews Why didn’t you answer my question? Both freesat boxes and satellite dish installations are expensive. Also Freeview and Freesat boxes have incredibly low power cost. Its around £17 over the course of a year. What you said came across as a sly dig at the poor. But do carry on

  • KityLonglegs Joanne. (@KityLonglegs) reported

    I’m a sky cuntstomer. Just logged in to SkyGo to find something interesting for tomorrow. **** all I’d watch. Why am I paying about £70 a month for shite I could get for free if I just buy an aerial and freeview?

  • NeilHoskinsLDnH Neil Hoskins (@NeilHoskinsLDnH) reported

    @FreeviewTV Everybody is telling me that I can still access ITV Hub by other means, but that's not the point. The WHOLE POINT of Freeview Play is its simplicity. You just go back in time in the EPG and it launches the appropriate catch-up service. This change completely breaks that.

  • SimonOxley9 Simon Oxley (@SimonOxley9) reported

    Seems like an interesting time to return to @LutonTown commentary duty at Swansea on Saturday. First visit to Liberty Stadium - never went to the Vetch either. Digital radio and Freeview 720 @BBCSport3CR
