  • 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 😂

  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38

  • AStrangerJ A.j. Stranger #UTAG (@AStrangerJ) reported from Bromley, England

    On the Freeview “REALLY” channel at 9pm, “Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?”. I’ve never seen it before, but I bet the answers not Jeffrey Epstein.

  • 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

  • flowergirl_lon Sam (Flower Girl) Jennings (@flowergirl_lon) reported from Croydon, England

    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Snodland, England

    Continually frustrated by @TalkTalk and its inconsistent service and performance. Have today purchased a freeview recorder to replace their box and will be actively looking for new broadband provider.

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, England

    @MyHydeHome @SCCIAlphatrack Not even sure how that's possible there's no record anyways over the weekend we lost signal for the communal aerial it has become very weak very pixelated can pick up the Freeview HD channels

  • PhilipMichaelC2 Philip Michael Chapman (@PhilipMichaelC2) reported from Croydon, England

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

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

  • LexFuturus LexFuturus (@LexFuturus) reported from Longfield, England

    Terrible streaming quality via YouTube! @btsport should have made it freeview #UCLfinal

  • Davidp1103 David-19 (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @TalkTalk It would be nice if you could reduce or remove a £40 charge for an engineer who called but made no inspection of equipment, explained that Freeview channels had been altered; a fact that your customer services were not aware of, but should have known.

  • StevenGothard Steven Gothard (@StevenGothard) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @S66Cams @ellabellajolie @sashalouise__x I've lost studio 66 on freeview can you help please

  • UselessLittleMe Lisa (@UselessLittleMe) reported

    @LQcontactus No problem. Thanks for replying to me. No she doesn't have satellite TV. She just has non satellite freeview, and according to them there are no problems on their end.

  • aegyptiangod DaddyWarBucks (@aegyptiangod) reported

    It's currently impossible to "stream it like it's TV". Whomever solves this problem, Wins. And, people want Freeview channels as basic. They'll subscribe for my Eva Longoria Movies. 😎

  • missTfied66 Ditsy1/Debbie (@missTfied66) reported

    @MyArrse i cancelled mine dec 2019 id only had it to watch PMQs weekly as i dont have cable or satellite or freeview tv. just stream. I was so heartbroken,terrified and angry &propoganda machine bbc got an email explaining why i dont need a tv licence anymore&never will. £12month saved!

  • steeleyp_ PS (@steeleyp_) reported

    @AndrewGrill @skytv Only a game-changer if you never plan to cancel Sky. Freeview not included outside the PSBs, no aerial socket for DTT and forever locked into a Sky OS... great fun if you choose to cancel Sky TV. No third-party services/apps other than what Sky say you can have. No thanks.

  • songbird_dee Dee Shepherd (@songbird_dee) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Switched from virgin TV to freeview years ago and never regretted it.

  • mikeapollo Mikeapollo (@mikeapollo) reported

    @SimonNewton5 @TransAm58 @arqiva ... many areas that are served by relay transmitters (ie. not the main masts - but secondary relays) do not have access to the full range of Freeview channels - the broadcasters decided it is not worth the cost to cover those areas with a primary service, let alone a backup.

  • JStewart_15 Josh Stewart (@JStewart_15) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam does sky glass have an Ariel port so if WiFi went down we could still watch freeview?

  • G3LSY2472005 Patrick W Robinson-Ingleton (@G3LSY2472005) reported

    @skytv Can you Record on Sky Glass & Store the Programmes??? And if you Cancel your Sky Contract can you use the TV as Standard eg like buying a FreeView Box and Connect that???

  • _Hometech_ Hometech Solutions (@_Hometech_) reported

    @Nur_Jahan786 @SkyUK From what I tell it’s just a Samsung TV which means you could still plug a set top box into one of the HDMIs or use Freeview just like any other tv. I guess this just has the new Sky streaming service built in.

  • pop_hill Pop (@pop_hill) reported

    @SkyNews Can I connect my BluRay player to it, and is there a Freeview tuner in case the internet goes down?
