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

    @bt_uk I got a problem it's not my fault and it's not BT issue I lost a lot of Freeview channels in my flat I went to no cancel and said you can have a dish because aerials are very bad in your area where you live we've had a lot of people coming to us about the same problem

  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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?

  • 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 😂

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

    @nowtvhelp I still got my old with the built-in Freeview TV all that still work and I do I'll come back to you because I transferred my account to BT I Wish I Never now if that box doesn't work I have to buy my NOW TV stick from you?

  • 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

  • EranE1980 Eran Edry (@EranE1980) reported from Camden Town, England

    @FreeviewAdvice hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

  • 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

  • diamondbadger Paul Fung (@diamondbadger) reported

    So, are we doing this? That’s right. #EmperorOfTheNorth live tweeting. Right now. @TalkingPicsTV Freeview channel 81. TONIGHT WE CARRADINE IN HELL (works written down)

  • BertieTheCat1 Bertie Cole (@BertieTheCat1) reported

    @ghost_wales We`ve got freeview and a TV licence and that`s enough. Humum discovered Sky was crap nearly 20 years ago, still thinks the same !

  • SydneyCityTV SydneyCityTV (@SydneyCityTV) reported

    @whophd @garethklose Yeah, the standard EIT (think I've got the technical term right there) 7 day EPG data is still being transmitted by all Australian networks last I checked. If the green button was a MHEG thing, then it was terminated on 24/11/2017 along with the rest of the Freeview EPG service.

  • madcow42 Sarah 🌼 & Jasper 🐾 (@madcow42) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Only option for us is Sky unless I want a streaming service like Netflix or Amazon Prime but then a need decent broadband to too. Found Freesat wasn’t much better than freeview and Virgin isn’t installed by me so not an option

  • TheRoundhead42 John Harrison 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 (@TheRoundhead42) reported

    @Nettleshippy I don't know many people who only have four or five channels. In fact, I don't know any. Freeview has dozens. Licence payers don't get to dictate content; never have. It was one day. Making a formal complaint seems OTT

  • CraigTvBug 🄼🅁🄱🅄🄶 (@CraigTvBug) reported from Queniborough, England

    @bbcemt @BBCOne When will this be sorted? I understand it’s expensive on satellite. But I watch on Freeview so already get a regionally transmitted HD service, you just need to give me the correct video!? Even if local the content is upscaled.. #bbc #hd

  • annetteh703 Annette Wilson (@annetteh703) reported

    @LozzaFox Simple solution - use your remote, most TVs these days have Freeview and a lot have Sky or Virgin, so plenty of other channels to watch.

  • spaceninjauk Mark 👨‍👦‍👦👩‍👧🎮🎬⚽️ (@spaceninjauk) reported

    @xStormxBringeRx Yea i find tv terrible, i have basic freeview as i cant justify paying for a tv service

  • GaryinScotland Gary Cummins (@GaryinScotland) reported

    @Samsmilew @RonMooreMoreRon Hello Samantha. Freeview channels are all that many receive. In 2021 the BBC chose to show the same program about the DofE across all its national TV and radio stations. Folk never had the option of switching over to another BBC channel.

  • myroelad Myroelad (@myroelad) reported

    @talkRADIO Would be great if all of uk could Tune in on freeview. Rather than Lbc, which has gone down hill Of late
