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

  • 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.

  • 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)

    @ChrissieLefranc @kaled10 @GBNEWS I believe the test signal is only being broadcast on freeview at the moment because the signal needs physically tuned in on many boxes like old tellys were. On Sky the test signal is less necessary as no tuning by the user is necessary, just keep checking 515 until it appears.

    @virginmedia You have just reminded me to call and cancel, no point paying for something I can watch on freesat and freeview. I don't need a house phone either! I'm wasting a lot of money when there is no loyalty discount, only reduced Bills for new customers. @MoneySavingExp

  • Philipbutcher1 Philip butcher (@Philipbutcher1) reported from Reading, England

    @GBNEWS Is anybody else having signal issues on Freeview channel 236? The signal is weaker than all the other news channels.

  • _Monty200_ Monty200💚☮🦆🌍✨ (@_Monty200_) reported

    @persiarainn I think I heard of that too which is really abusive and horrible to do, especially towards a child actor. I remember Pop too (but we didn't even have that on freeview and was introduced to that when my sibling got sky freesat upstairs) and got into that channel before (1)

    @FreeviewAdvice Has your service stopped? I am unable to stream any Freeview related material currently.

  • GowSte Stevie G 😷#HandsFaceSpaceFreshAir (@GowSte) reported

    @arabforlife83 Assume bt tv box is connected to internet hub by ethernet. That’s what your bt sport comes down. Tv channels (Freeview) come via aerial. Connect aerial from wall socket into box, then aerial out from box to tv. For aerial signal to pass through to tv, need pass through setting on

  • moggie1984 Cat (@moggie1984) reported

    @timmyjpb Thanks Tim! I did see that but I just fail to understand with all the channels on Freeview you still have to subscribe (even for a free trial) to just watch one programme! Maybe that’s just me...?

  • WooTube Andy Wootton (@WooTube) reported

    Freeview TV Guide says, "GB News is Coming". How do I fasch-block it, so they know, @FreeviewTV ? Are you taking bribes from streaming services to put crap on?

  • terryphi Terry Phillips (@terryphi) reported

    @GBNews Bad news: I hear that those of us in rural areas who receive our Freeview signal from relay transmitters will not be able to view GBNews.
