    @Emmalouisajones @SkyNews Poor retro-protest. You can't cancel Sky News. It's on Freeview.

  • NEFamilyFun Sam Rickelton | North East Family Fun (@NEFamilyFun) reported from Leeds, England

    @Sharon43068108 Very annoying! They are now showing the same match on BBC 1 AND 2. We are in a hotel room son only have Freeview. Going to watch Bridget Jones Diary on itv2 - I have my fingers crossed it's not too rude for the kids 🤣 (from what I remember, I think it's ok)

  • ElGaineseo Simon 💙💛 (@ElGaineseo) reported from Leeds, England

    @Philips @philips_uk @FreeviewTV I recently purchased a Philips Ambilight 55PUS8204/12 55" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV with Google Assistant does it support Freeview play as I can't get the apps to work.

  • NeelyFanForever ☘️NeelyFanTerry ☘️ (@NeelyFanForever) reported from Garforth, England

    @MaddFan1 Same thing happened to me a few years ago, I was quite happy watching @AJEnglish on Freeview and then suddenly it went on to freeview HD, which my box wasn't. My problem was finally solved when they started broadcasting live on Youtube.

    @AmazonHelp I bought a Freeview PVR on my new Argos but have since decided I don't want it. It's still ready for collection at the Huddersfield store. What can I do to cancel this and have my card refunded

    @ofcom @bbc @10DowningStreet If Freeview is switched off in favour of Freely (which is good in some contexts) on a day like today when there is a major outage you could be at home with no broadband, now no landline AND no TV. So no idea what is going on. Is that sensible? No.

  • Starshelly20 Michelle Speller (@Starshelly20) reported

    Dear Elon Musk, Will starlink help me get good reception for Freeview? I’m fed up of having to access widgets and apps to watch live TV. I just want a regular TVguide so I can make a decision in one place like I used to have with an aerial. Thank you, Michelle Speller

  • LJHAMMOND2 LJHAMMOND (@LJHAMMOND2) reported

    Up early this morning. Long walk to the station on day 67 of my driving ban. Heading to the British Library to research the website. No tv signal at all this morning. We had Freeview for a few days now that has gone. Engineer due on Monday.

  • eastcoaststoat Ian Gray (@eastcoaststoat) reported

    @Janela_X Thinks it's moved the Ariel for Freeview so no signal

  • BrianWhite20872 PixelBeard (@BrianWhite20872) reported

    @suemonkman29 Freeview has >100 channels. Wireless radios still work. Paper books are still a thing. Popping in to see a disabled neighbour used to be the norm. I'm not convinced the underlying problem has anything to do with money.

  • FeelitWorking aka James Bond (@FeelitWorking) reported

    @stevencamlou @juneslater17 Agreed, use youtube, freeview, freely, nowTV, etc. Sounds like they need a reality check and debt counselling. No shame in getting help to maximise what you can have for the least money.

  • AlexEdoh2013 Alexander Edoh (@AlexEdoh2013) reported

    @SydneyCityTV ITV has all of its services exclusively in HD on Satellite (I think, please feel free to correct me on this), Virgin Media, again I'm not sure, also surprised to see that only the main channel (ITV1) is HD on Freeview. I have EE TV, the signal works over Wi-Fi,

  • cordbusters Cord Busters UK (@cordbusters) reported

    So during the big Vodafone meltdown yesterday, we had no internet at all (not on my phone either, because it uses Vodafone's network as well). So I had to... watch Freeview with an aerial, to make sure the world did not come to an end. Raising a glass to Freeview today!

  • GeneHunt81 GeneHunt81 (@GeneHunt81) reported

    Because the board treat us like consumers we should think of the club the same way. As consumers we are paying the price of the full sky package but we're getting the freeview channels. Rodgers is merely the repair man here to fix signal issues. We'll still get freeview once gone

  • Ajax62859643753 Welcome FM 101.3 (@Ajax62859643753) reported

    @LeilaniDowding Also the BBC are on Freeview and that is a free to view service. The BBC are pay to view. They SHOULD NOT BE ON FREEVIEW.
