  • summers_allan Allan Kempson (@summers_allan) reported from Romford, England

    @talkSPORT @Sjopinion10 That's a bad idea. Sky have rights to other sports too, so a netflix football service would be yet another thing to pay for if you like multiple sports. More football needs to be on freeview channels like BBC and ITV.

    @nowtvhelp I still got my old with the built-in Freeview TV all that still work and I do I'll come back to you because I transferred my account to BT I Wish I Never now if that box doesn't work I have to buy my NOW TV stick from you?

  • cycleoptic cycleoptic💙💚 (@cycleoptic) reported from Islington, England

    @jock_savage @ruskin147 This licence lets you use and install receiving equipment at the licensed place. watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat) watch live on streaming services (e.g. ITVX, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now, Sky Go)

  • Scare158Steve Scarebear (@Scare158Steve) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @bt_uk Thanks for the help. I spoke to freeview, tried a few things which didn't work but i contacted your TV help and after doing a few basic things somehow it appears to be working now! Very Strange. Tks

  • 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

  • PurpleDon1973 MadameCholet (@PurpleDon1973) reported from Ilford, England

    Some days I really wish I'd kept all those calls to @JimDavisOnAir on my freeview box. I've been sent way back in time with a USB memory stick, a few years back with some calls. Damn, I really miss those days with the song choice and #JimDavisLive And it was just brilliant radio

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

  • 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

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

    @bt_uk I got a problem it's not my fault and it's not BT issue I lost a lot of Freeview channels in my flat I went to no cancel and said you can have a dish because aerials are very bad in your area where you live we've had a lot of people coming to us about the same problem

  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

  • RegenerateAndy Andy Smith (@RegenerateAndy) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Channel ‘Pick’ on freeview. Never heard of it before but grateful for it tonight #chelsea

  • u0421793 Ian K Tindale (@u0421793) reported from East Ham, England

    The Good, the Bad and The Ugly is just starting now on Paramount network freeview 32

  • 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

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    Time for the BBC to close down the BBCNews channel as they always seem to put it on BBC1 at same time WHY as BBCNews is available on sky freesat and freeview you dont need it on BBC1

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • maggieinlondon Maggie - wear a mask 💙🏳️‍🌈🌱 (@maggieinlondon) reported from Wandsworth, England

    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    @Forces_TV hi guys having a few problems with your freeview picture in London it freezes or breaks up had it since Friday

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported from Camberwell, England

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on Freeview.

  • Stroudgreenguy J. Alfred Prufrock (@Stroudgreenguy) reported from Tottenham, England

    @Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.

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

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

  • michaelfromuk Mike Flint from the UK, sparkling. (@michaelfromuk) reported

    VM TV is down, but internet still seems to work. So that's all the 'normal' channels even if you've got no TV aerial for FreeView. Relax people.

  • annkavanagh09 Ann Kavanagh (@annkavanagh09) reported

    @lizmarsh18 @GeaPerks @virginmedia Thars my issue, their TV service is not so good and unfortunately due to my area I cannot watch through freeview as aerial no use otherwise I would

  • petejs1 Pete - 💙 #JohnsonOut #1🌐 (@petejs1) reported

    BT, Sky even freeview etc are. As such you need 100% surety of output. Clearly not the case. This should not happen EVER. You and everyone incl OFCOM know this. Terrible reputational impact.

  • BoyCharioteer Stephen Miller (@BoyCharioteer) reported

    @DjDirtyDan87 @BenShoveller We simply switched to the old TV aerial on the freeview TV set. The premium TV is off for a few hours. If that is the worst that people are suffering then they are very lucky people. I always found Virgin Media service excellent.

  • NickHackett2 Nicholas (@NickHackett2) reported

    @ScottsRadioSite @BBC_Cumbria True but so does 5G and if we going to update infrastructures it's best to do it same time rather than one after another so they could do that and sort freeview out and roll out better public and private Internet. It shouldn't be patchy network like on a train.

  • RobertoFerdenzi Roberto Ferdenzi Ⓜ️ 🇮🇹 🏆 (@RobertoFerdenzi) reported

    @cassyofLondon @njamurphy It's been happening most of this morning, losing certain freeview channels. Checked with neighbour, same issue. They must be working on the London transmitter. Would be nice if they could pre-warn us it is going to happen, rather than thinking there is something wrong at our end!

  • 4becca4 Becca (@4becca4) reported

    @virginmedia Tv and internet down in #Nottingham.. Their website is also down and not able to contact them by phone.. Thank goodness for #Freeview!

  • SteveGrubb StevieG (@SteveGrubb) reported

    @bobp1961 @virginmedia Zen, a dedicated broadband provider, superb. For TV just gone to a smart TV (with a couple of apps for the channels I want) and Freeview. VM costs were just frankly ridiculous and service problematic.

  • WenMoonFETWOO FplCOTIWOOFET (@WenMoonFETWOO) reported

    @virginmedia All the more reason to bin the TV service and just stream or use Freeview. Happy to save my money.

  • andersmac1 andersmac (@andersmac1) reported

    @virginmedia @KJ_93x Absolute fuckall is working seen on your update bbc 1,2 itv,4 and 5 are working cheers for letting us watch freeview clowns horrible company sort it or sort a discount paying for fuckall if it isnt the tv its the internet
