  • Stroudgreenguy J. Alfred Prufrock (@Stroudgreenguy) reported from Tottenham, England

    @Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

  • 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 😂

  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

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

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

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

  • 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.

  • D_Hollingsworth Dan Hollingsworth (@D_Hollingsworth) reported from Rickmansworth, England

    When did BBC4 HD. Leave Freeview? What a load of ****, missed a chunk of #TOTP and joining it late with Michael ruddy Jackson.

  • rutty_uk Dave Rutt (@rutty_uk) reported

    @LeadTestInclude We canned Virgin to go with Freeview plus Now Entertainment package. Still fairly cheap I guess. Just about enough programming that isn’t covered elsewhere. The NowTV box we have is rubbish. Awful interface (but it works - no channel numbers for freeview channels)

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @LeafNetSco @cordbusters Hi Blake, Freeview and Freesat fall under the same Umbrella, however we operate as two entities as there is slight differences with equipment, signal delivery and channel location from Freeview to Freesat. Freeview currently do not offer Spotlight TV.

  • JohnMcCullough6 John McCullough (@JohnMcCullough6) reported

    @AlexKane221b You will be pleased to learn that the Freeview Christmas movie season starts really early on 8th September, probably channel 52. 95% will be pretty awful but there will always be a few gems.

  • timbirds1 Tim Salisbury (@timbirds1) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Watched it on Freeview , as the Sky , not working.

  • ClaireMenzies12 Claire Menzies (@ClaireMenzies12) reported

    @David_Dimbleby “I want never gets & jealousy gets you nowhere” coz someone else has done the right thing & left the Cronyism of the Toff run BBC! @BorisJohnson I refuse to watch BBC programs coz their boring reality Tv, repeats & got not no substance meaning, Freeview is bad too

  • timrobi12026017 tim robinson (@timrobi12026017) reported

    So poor? I khan only dream freeview 😳

  • LeachSie sue leach (@LeachSie) reported

    @AnnieCricket At that time we switched to Virgin but have subsequently returned to sky following problems with getting decent tv service through virgin. My parents just use a freeview box for their tv or you can get tv with inbuilt freeview now

  • hopeless_punter Dan Chivers (@hopeless_punter) reported

    @NNweather Please RT. Anyone in the NN2/NN3 area experiencing issues with their Freeview HD reception this weekend? Tried all the usual fixes but still dropping out every so often. I know O2 were doing some works in the area last week, so not sure if it's related to that.

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported

    @sianharries_ I don't know, Freeview's standard channels all look bloody awful compared to HD.

  • nxthan_7 nathan🏴‍☠️ (@nxthan_7) reported

    @Shannxo @ah99_____ And people seems to forget you can’t always go to matches for loads of different reasons like work, childcare, financial. The 3pm blackout should be abolished and the 3pm games should be broadcast on freeview
