    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 😂

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

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

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

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

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • sospainter 🅿🅰🆄🅻 🅲🅾🅻🅻🅸🅴🆁 (@sospainter) reported from Whyteleafe, England

    @IanSlaterPhoto1 @VixThatRuns I have a sizeable Samsung. Ditched Virgin Media, the plan was to have Freeview. The tv doesn’t support Freeview!

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

    @janebadler Happy Christmas and New Year VV, I can't get forces tv on Freeview can you help me, please?.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • _chalkie_ Graham White (@_chalkie_) reported

    @jamiebglover You also get Freeview and Freesat, S4C, and the fibre broadband rollout, the latter being a less spoken of contribution from the licence fee, which benefits all the streaming service providers at no cost to them.

  • mecafolidas Mark Foley (@mecafolidas) reported

    @MahyarTousi Do tell how you are going to move it to a subscription & how long that'd take? Freeview isn't compatible, broadband not in all parts of the UK etc etc. Radio? Only potential solution is advertising - huge hit to ITV etc. Note: Gov & BBC Trust blocked iPlayer expansion/sub in '09.

  • thatfoxxybloke David Foxx (@thatfoxxybloke) reported

    @Monkeymanb0b Freeview with out the 3 BBC channels is the obvious solution. Which would be free. You could also then add subscriptions if you want them. The difference between the TV licence and Skys basic package is £6.

  • epb123456 Eileen, et, I'm home (@epb123456) reported

    @DarylSting @RhonddaBryant As it costs each licence payer £159, I should hope not. It's a tax that hits the less well off more. There are plenty of other channels that provide an excellent service on freeview.

  • linmac232 Lin Mac🇬🇧 (@linmac232) reported

    @WebsterFrank @abline11 @jamiebglover Could it be some, in fact a lot have freeview, freesat etc and can watch other news. Trouble is we still have to pay BBC to watch other news. Get it?

  • ChapperzHannah ιиѕριяαтισи (@ChapperzHannah) reported

    @Forces_TV Was really getting into this tonight, but sadly forces tv on my freeview has lost signal from the Com 7 transmitter 😭

  • tomdesborough87 Tom Desborough (@tomdesborough87) reported

    @thatfoxxybloke @Monkeymanb0b What makes you think ITV, C4, C5 and other Freeview channels wouldn't add a subscription model? ITV have already dabbled with it in their on demand service. Scrapping the license fee completely could end up costing households a lot more than they already pay.

  • MattHuismanNZ Matt Huisman (@MattHuismanNZ) reported

    @Bob_Bobson66 you using Xplore? i just tried Kodi APK and that wont install either. So I suspect its more an issue with not installing than the freeview apk

  • LordWilsonVILLA LordWilsonVILLA🦁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿UAI (@LordWilsonVILLA) reported

    @Stanhope2011VJ the last time they said they would make cuts they said BBC Three tv channel and the Asian Network radio would be cut in the end, they only took BBC Three off Freeview but they didn't cut the Asian Network radio station

  • jamesoffofleeds James in Leeds (@jamesoffofleeds) reported

    @TomSwarbrick1 There are no good alternatives to the BBC licence fee. Will BBC TV be taken off Freeview and put behind a paywall? My grandparents couldn’t work a streaming service? Does Global want to compete for advertising revenue with a commercial BBC radio network? Bonkers!
