  • uptownclub Franky uptownclub (@uptownclub) reported from Harlow, England

    @Virgin how do I go about leaving Virgin because I'm paying roughly £63.50 a month for a phone that I never use only to ring you up when there's a problem.. most of my viewing is on Freeview now and I have Amazon HD fire stick and Netflix account

  • 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

  • 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 😂

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @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)

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 1FatKev Kevin Killoran (@1FatKev) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia really poor show all TV channels drop out just as the snooker semifinal is about to finish #freeview why not.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • KanailadRm Ray (@KanailadRm) reported from Harlow District, England

    @currys your harlow store is staffed by complete ********* waited over 40 minutes after someone said i i would get help as I needed a tv with built in freeview, they had no ******* clue after 40 minutes I went to @Argos_Online and got one

  • 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

  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

    @EngUndertaker Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview channels. So we can look into this for you, can you please provide your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • JohnHuwEvans2 H-yule Evans. Aitch NOT haitch!!!! (@JohnHuwEvans2) reported

    @just_j0 NO as I only have Freeview. I don't intend getting any subscription service even if I could justify the cost. I am tempted to tweet about the 109th viewing of TBBT or HIMYM though.

  • rosielanners Róisín Lanigan (@rosielanners) reported

    @paulbIack Tbf they do give u all sorts if u threaten to cancel my da used to do it like 3 times a year. Then eventually sky got wise to us so we had to get freeview RIP

  • nemo20000 nemo (@nemo20000) reported

    @haroldthimbleby Everything fine until I switched to a mono radio station on Freeview, at which point the sound stopped and stayed off until the TV was rebooted. Weird. Rang Sony. “Never heard of that before” they said. “Try using the RCA audio output sockets”. I rewired my cable, it then worked.

  • Unpaid_Carer Unpaid_Carer❣ (@Unpaid_Carer) reported

    Daughter's TV has switched off this morning! Changed the fuse in the plug thinking may just be that but nothing! Changed the HDMI cable! Nothing! Disconnected her console to show Freeview TV, still nothing! FFS! 🤬🤬 Short term solution - she uses TV in lounge in her bedroom

  • James85fletcher James Fletcher (@James85fletcher) reported

    @Keeptheban_ “Ooh, that’s gonna be great”. People pay good money for Sky subscriptions, often to watch Freeview channels. There is a really simple solution.

  • swampy_kiwi Shawn (@swampy_kiwi) reported

    Is it just me or does Amazon prime video have a terrible UI? It feels worse that the freeview apps. Plus some stuff is free some is extra money?

  • gaz_jarvis Gaz (@gaz_jarvis) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice any reason why I can’t get any bbc channels? Had issues with freeview for over a week now!

  • Richard12189105 richard (@Richard12189105) reported

    @ArgosHelpers I ordered and collected a LG 50 Inch 50UP77006LB Smart 4K UHD LED HDR Freeview TV yesterday and thought I had added the special offer LG SK1D 100W Sound bar, please can you help. I can provide my order reference

  • blogmywiki Giles Booth (@blogmywiki) reported

    Anyone else noticed @FreeviewTV HD reception is exceptionally bad in London this morning? A bit of a lottery since the frequencies changed but I can usually rely on BBC1 and BBC2, fine last night, unwatchable this morning. #freeview
