  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

    Why do I keep paying for TV service which is shit @BTGroup I get better service on indoor freeview aerial

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

  • quodignoratum Myles Winstone (@quodignoratum) reported from Warrington, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Definitely. We struggle getting Freeview and as you’re not on BT TV I’m missing my fix!

  • the_FLT Fergus Llewelyn Turtle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@the_FLT) reported

    The big exception of course is big sports but that's a little different to normal programming. Even there, cricket viewing has dwindled from lack of major (and Freeview) network coverage.

  • stephenfarrow Stephen Farrow 🇪🇺 (@stephenfarrow) reported

    @DrewLawDesign It's on Freeview, though I've never cared enough to check the channel number.

  • WILLIAM97652031 WILLIAM SMITH (@WILLIAM97652031) reported

  • MrEastendersFan Mr Derek SUSAN (@MrEastendersFan) reported

    @itv2 Love Island is ****. My sisters friend Sharon thinks its awful. But my mate John says he doesn't like it but has all episodes recorded on his freeview plus box...

  • CarlosHMiranda Carlos Miranda (@CarlosHMiranda) reported

    @HitachiEurope Hello, I bought a Hitachi 58 Inch 58HK6100UB Smart 4K UHD HDR Freeview TV but I cannot pair the BT remote with the TV. I tried the codes 2424, 1739 but it does not work. Where can I get help? Thanks!

    @jlf0404 👋I'm not around #CourtTV's tweets anymore, Jen. I'm not on the channel. Period. Not after their owners' awful treatment of British viewers. From 1st June they took themselves off #Freeview. It put me off them, and off the whole US court thing. It just wasn't the same for me😕

  • SexodusUK Scott Exodus (@SexodusUK) reported

    @sophielouisecc HD on freeview, the current SD quality is crap.
