    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

  • 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 😂

  • Wyfan2 The Wilder Way - Patrick Wymark Boardroom (@Wyfan2) reported

    @RosalynConnors @RodneyMarshall1 You tell me..I've had Freeview freeze and black out like a signal problem before, but this seemed to be a continuous freeze frame right after saying, "shoot the first man that moves" (like a prank) and then a smooth cut to the next scene.

  • feetsby Colin Troy 🇺🇦 (@feetsby) reported

    @NMBCo @hardistymark Pretty sure East Midlands Today is a standard definition signal slapped into an HD channel. Just got freeview to save money, back to the ol’ ‘High Def not available in your area’ message. If we want to see our news broadcasters in high def, we have to see them down the pub.

  • KelsterWelster Kelly (@KelsterWelster) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Having trouble with my upstairs Sky box. Sounds coming on but screen is black. Nothing wrong with telly as I can get on Freeview and Netflix etc directly on the TV so it's definitely the Sky box. Any ideas?

  • BremerBellinati Leonardo Bremer Bellinati (@BremerBellinati) reported

  • RobSmit12639238 Tech Man (@RobSmit12639238) reported

    @ItsAndyRyan @MarinaPurkiss @JeremyVineOn5 Never mind the fact how many ppl have Landlines these days.. Thankfully I dumped freeview TV & licemce in 2015. "Wright Stuff" yrs before that. Vine got dumped in 2014 with his "Radio for Dummies" R2 show. Thankfully Ken Bruce has finally left R2..

  • Paulsmccann Paul (@Paulsmccann) reported
