  • 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?

  • 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 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.

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

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

  • 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 😂

  • 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

    @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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

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

  • FintanTheWrong FintanT (@FintanTheWrong) reported

    The Howling is about to start on Legend (channel 41 on Freeview). For some reason I have never seen this before.

  • trev_lisa Trev.stanley/Lisa.sweety. (@trev_lisa) reported

    @Bob71136804 @BBCSport That's the iplayer. The "red button" is page 601 on freeview. You click on the screen for the iplayer and @BBCSport will force you to swear your life away that you have a tv licence and make you sign in! Many elderly, disabled, poor just do not have the wherewithall or tech!!

  • ChrisBagguley Chris Bagguley💙 (@ChrisBagguley) reported

    @UtchStokie @sailingbikeruk I have this problem every week. When MW frequency was available Stoke were always on Freeview. Since that went they're always on FM hence I can't listen nor is Sounds available.

  • DJGaryBaldy DJGaryBaldy (@DJGaryBaldy) reported

    My Freeview box is recording #CelebrityMasterChef twice yet it's only been set to record once. Stupid box

  • KeithToms4 Keith Toms (@KeithToms4) reported

    @FreeviewTV @Dodgyclare I live near Wisbech in Cambridgeshire and we have been having trouble with Freeview lately with No signal being shown and jigsaw on the screens.

  • ChrisTheDJ Chris Merriman 🇺🇦 (@ChrisTheDJ) reported

    Actually that's not strictly true. Freeview will be offering internet streams of channels as back up in the future, but no sign of when, so that doesn't help you today.

  • ColinMichaelHo2 Colin Michael Hodge (@ColinMichaelHo2) reported

    @AshtonRae4 ooh Ashton i had trouble on Freeview last night OMG i missed you i got Michelle solo for a little while, but i live remote and affects my reception in hot or stormy weather you look amazing babe right there lol xx

  • BellaGilesSmit1 Bella Giles-Smith (@BellaGilesSmit1) reported

    How I #savemoney Turn off at socket my TV, Freeview box, PC, Microwave, and all rechargeable devices, only charging when needed. Light on where I am, rest off. Washing machine once a fortnight so FULL load Hot water on once a week, lukewarm showers Share your tips to help us all

  • InnovateFor Innovate for Growth (@InnovateFor) reported

    Finally, check streaming services. Freevee. The best free streaming service overall Peacock. Pluto TV. Roku Channel. Tubi. ... Crackle. ... Vudu. ... Sling Free. Negotiate a lower monthly cost or switch provider. Take advantage of freeview and freeway. Get those old DVDs out.

  • DigitalDiablo 🇪🇺 🐸 HYPNOTOAD 🐸🇪🇺 💎 (@DigitalDiablo) reported

    @katzenzungen Moved to "BT" full fibre a few months ago and its half the price and double the speed of Virgin Media. We don't take the TV service (can't even keep up with Freeview/Netflix) but more than happy with it.
