    @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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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 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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 😂

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • jbhoymolloy John Molloy (@jbhoymolloy) reported

    Half the country suddenly finding the hundreds of channels on Freeview that they’ve never used. I’m currently watching some antique fella with a Peaky Blinder cap fleecing toffs of their valuable antiques.

  • gg_poulloin ggpoulloin (@gg_poulloin) reported

    '@FreeviewTV with the main channels doing saturation coverage of the monarchy people will look for other TV to watch. Who watches 24-hour monarchy day after day? But it does show up just how bad Freeview is though doesn't it. It's rare to find anything worth watching!

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    I notice that on the Freeview guide Hits Radio have scheduled 'Special Announcement' for tomorrow too. Radio City is part of the Hits Radio network. Source: Freeview guide.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @Prof_Nostalgia @TPTVEncore @freesat_tv It's just Freeview for now. We cannot make promises but will continue to consider all possibilities for the future development of the service whenever possible.

  • mabel_samuel Mabel Samuel (@mabel_samuel) reported

    @4Viewers Thank you for replying, unfortunately whilst your link works, when I try to watch via the All4 app on my BT freeview player, the only Chateau DIY listed on there is the last series from 2021. I've even tried searching for it via "last 7 days" and it's not even listed there. Help!

  • LPositivist2 Logical🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Positivist2#FBSI (@LPositivist2) reported

    @I__W______ Plenty of stuff down in the corners of freeview telly.

  • ben_k_99 Ben (@ben_k_99) reported from Thornliebank, Scotland

    @figuremonkey Yeah imagine having to sit through this with nothing but what's on Freeview TV. Poor souls

  • ryubrand brand (@ryubrand) reported

    @notoriousok we was poor so we only had freeview growing up so it was like CBBC, CITV & **** but i’d go my friends house and watch cartoon network **** take my back

  • OliReading Oli from Reading 🦁 (@OliReading) reported

    @Julian70703354 @sharonsstacey That's not showing on Freeview yet but then Freeview is never too fast at updating 🤔🤔 #EastEnders

  • BenVanDerVelde Ben Van Der Velde (@BenVanDerVelde) reported

    Internet is down, so forced to forage for a movie on Freeview. Stumbled on Equilibrium with Christian Bale and Sean Bean and woah baby is it incredibly silly dystopia. I have just watched a scene containing, and I can't believe I'm writing this, fascist tai chi.
