  • 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.

  • summers_allan Allan Kempson (@summers_allan) reported from Romford, England

    @talkSPORT @Sjopinion10 That's a bad idea. Sky have rights to other sports too, so a netflix football service would be yet another thing to pay for if you like multiple sports. More football needs to be on freeview channels like BBC and ITV.

    @Forces_TV hi guys having a few problems with your freeview picture in London it freezes or breaks up had it since Friday

  • 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

  • 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.

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

  • 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?

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

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

  • MartinC93414706 Martin (@MartinC93414706) reported from Lambeth, England

    @channel5_tv is the worst for catch up tv via your app or freeview. Just can’t find programmes sometimes. Trying to find Sally Lindsays posh sleepover. C4, itv and BBC never ever have a problem with. I give up with C5

  • Whoknow01623687 Who knows 🗣 (@Whoknow01623687) reported

    @WonPeople Nothing you can’t watch a repeat of on any other freeview channel. Never listen to any BBC radio either.

  • NeilRBowers Neil Bowers (@NeilRBowers) reported

    @skytv Hi, Sky Arts is available on FreeView but I get very poor TV reception. How can I watch it online? I have a TV Licence.

  • garyscott8383 Gary Scott (@garyscott8383) reported

    @Lakeuk @timfarron The BBC adminiser the Freeview network as part of the TV license and that includes the infrastructure

  • MaFt Em to the Ay to the Eff to the Tee (@MaFt) reported

    I have solved the BBC licensing "issue". Freeview and radio stays "free" and make any digital stuff (websites, iPlayer/catch-up etc) a subscription. I suspect there'll be enough people that rely on catch-up and iPlayer who would then subscribe / pay license.

  • Carpe177 Anthony Carpenter (@Carpe177) reported

    Why does Amazon Prime cut off my tv, comes up telling me I have a Reuter problem when I'm now on Freeview ch 23 Dave ja vu? Rick Stein. (Oh, I'm Not on internet a year now, or its tv. A too costly scam! Now Use 4G.)

  • RonanCollins29 DjRonanC #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #ReleaseTheAyerCut (@RonanCollins29) reported

    @SAORVIEW Not many channels, it be great if you added music, more entertainment and movie channels to your service we are living in 2022 and the UK has over 85 Freeview and Ireland has 11 channels. What's the point of paying for a TV licence.

  • Stephowd Stephanie Howard (@Stephowd) reported

    @LordFrodsham @HackedOffHugh A surprising number of people in this discussion don’t seen to be aware that the license fee doesn’t just cover the BBC but 70 Freeview channels & all radio. Anyone who doesn’t want to pay the fee can disconnect their TV, watch Sky Sport down the pub and Netflix on their computer

  • Ravenblade86 Paul Convery (@Ravenblade86) reported

    @_mels13 my parents are having the same problem with RTE 1 on Freeview

  • Takethatjoe Gerald Smith 🤢 (@Takethatjoe) reported

    @darrengrimes_ Blame the government, what is your solution as to how it is funded? Advertising is out as the market is saturated, subscription is out as it’s on freeview

  • FreeviewTV Freeview (@FreeviewTV) reported

    @SimonAnthonySt2 @NewsUK Hi Simon. There is no news as to when this service will be added to Freeview. It may be best to contact NewsUK for this information. Scott.
