  • 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.

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

    @PanasonicUK I have Panasonic Viera TV set now the Sony Crime Channel on Freeview channel 40 has moved to channel 60 but when I click on 60 all I get is Loading Interactive Service then the screen goes blank can you help me please or send an engineer

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 1FatKev Kevin Killoran (@1FatKev) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia really poor show all TV channels drop out just as the snooker semifinal is about to finish #freeview why not.

  • 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?

  • 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

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

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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    @DavidWiddick Can you please contact support? ALS how are you watching us please so we can investigate? Freeview red button? App? On your PC? Etc ? Thank you ! @TPTVEncore

  • Rothbury01669 Stevio (@Rothbury01669) reported

    @Jo2901TF @elementalvenus I have a 63 year old child who couldn't live without it - I have Sky Q so it works seamlessly with a second TV without wires so I do like it for that, plus our TV signal is very bad where we live. We can only get the BBC channels on DAB radio and our freeview doesn't have things like GB News on it as we only get the main 30 or so channels as we're on a small transmitter. We can't even get Classic FM on DAB or FM

  • PopeyeFreeview Popeye (@PopeyeFreeview) reported

    Freeview channel 97 Hobbycraft TV I noticed one thing when Hobbycraft TV was off air on Sunday evening. There red button service has been reduced to 12 hours a day before it was 24 hours a day. The red button is only live from 7pm to 7am in HD. No HD between 7am to 7pm is only in SD.

  • JoeBloggs400 Joe Bloggs (@JoeBloggs400) reported

    The main problem here is the huge plethora of films on the normal freeview tv or the normal tv somewhat hampering my progress through the films I want to watch on the blu-rays etc well on paramount+ they're getting in the ******* way.I watched oppenheimer on bbc2 yesterday.

  • FOOTYBRO_FC Footypass (Burton albion fan) (@FOOTYBRO_FC) reported

    @fusionjosh_ Thank **** the world cup on freeview

  • algingersmith Alan C. Smith (@algingersmith) reported

    @blackplastic8 @AdrianFaiers Tech issues make it almost impossible. Charter means progs have to be accessible to all. Millions don't even have connected tv's or internet access. You'd have to dump the Charter. Or provide free Freeview boxes to millions. Cost prohibitive. #r4today

  • sabrina777z SabrinaEvans01 (@sabrina777z) reported

    @stephen2876 @NotFarLeftAtAll Because those that can't afford Netflix or Prime or Disney have zero choice but to watch Freeview style TV and most of that is repeats from 70s/80/90etc so BBC and ITV are bad but they are less likely to be repeats.

  • William2001Wh William Hosking (@William2001Wh) reported

    @cordbusters Sky Satellite is better then streaming if your internet goes down your stuck with boring old freeview. I just hope Foxtel in Austraila where i live don't stop selling their iQ boxes otherwise i will use my tv as a computer monitor just to watch youtube nothing else.

  • SAGASAINT1 SAGASAINT (@SAGASAINT1) reported

    @Freely_Advice Cannot change subtitle size. Freeview TV in bedroom via aerial is fine. All channels have the correct subtitles. Freely is the problem 😭

  • Bartlet27722793 Richard Bartlett (@Bartlet27722793) reported

    @GhostOfCorkey @DeathlyAcorn @KayBurley It was the case that radio rights came with the combined TV licence. But not anymore, except perhaps if you only listen to the radio via FreeView, satellite or cable. TVLicensing confirms this in their FAQs. What is better than BBC that you do watch please? Or just nothing live and never BBC, not even on-demand/catch-up?? --Genuinely interested.
