    @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.

    @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.

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • 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 😂

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

  • 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

  • steelclogs Mr Mick NL 🇳🇱 (@steelclogs) reported

    @AlarmBell You could download @euronews Al Jazeera is about the best. I subscribe to De Stentor and De Telegraaf for the local & national news, BBC1 & BBC2 come free with my KPN package. I can watch all the Freeview channels but it's all game shows and recycled 80s crap.

  • cultofdeath Paul Winter (@cultofdeath) reported

    @FrancaisFarage @GBNEWS Because things like sky are optional nobody is forcing anyone to pay for it and freeview would be fine for most whuch minus bbc is all ad supported. The disgusting part is forcing people to pay for the service with no opt out.

    @terrychristian @GBNEWS Terry, did you know there are people leaving the freeview channel GBNews on all day to, "help it's (sic.) ratings" ? I knew a lot of Britons are very thick, but this is some next-level of dense. #DumbBritain

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    Told you #skybroadband trending because of outage of a few hours, people up in arms. Yeah well #Freeview viewers haven't had TV or Radio signal for 23 days in the North East (Teesside) , radio presenter briefly mentions it on national radio but alas nowt about Freeview

  • ParmaleeWes WesParmalee (@ParmaleeWes) reported

    @TheDoctor2058 @arqiva My experience is that they never ever respond to people here...but perhaps they will DM you. I'd suggest calling the Freeview number for advice if you dint hear back over the weekend. Hope that helps.

  • UKTVPlayHelp UKTV Play Help (@UKTVPlayHelp) reported

    @Petramid @UKTVPlay Hey Christine, we've been unable to replicate this issue on our end. Please could you try unplugging your tv/freeview for 10 minutes to allow for the cache to clear and try again. Let us know if this resolves your issues.

    @FreeviewAdvice I have a question about the freeview tv signal. I've had four different tvs in my flat. The only thing on in the background really is @SkyNews but the tv will always ⚡ tick loudly on seemingly things of interest. Its like a form of intelligence that drives me crazy. Is it signal
