  • 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

  • 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 😂

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    🤬🤬 as **** Freeview ain't workin opefully sum **** ain't pulled mi ariel doon if dey ave won't get it sorted till Monday coz it ain't an emergency

  • Loundshay Jane Tatam (@Loundshay) reported

    @Andy_hhh @Serendipity_03_ @VNotmeat Actually RT was not shut down by the UK. It has been affected by a ban imposed by the European Union. Although the UK is no longer in the EU, the bloc applied sanctions to satellite companies in Luxembourg and France, which provided the RT feed to Sky, Freesat and Freeview.

  • tashatam14 tashatam (@tashatam14) reported

    @benonwine Get plenty of practice here in rural Devon, where the power and internet go off quite regularly, and many of us have no mobile signal at all (or mains sewage, decent water pressure, gas, public transport, road repairs, freeview signal - you name it, we don't have it)

  • NYCBabe Joanne 💙 (@NYCBabe) reported

    @AskOneHousing @OneHousing @OHGResidents I’m now sick of your contractors accidentally cutting off our Sky and Freeview signal when they’re using the communal cupboards as a dumping ground. This is the umpteenth time since Christmas this has happened! 🤬

  • ioloj Iolo Jones (@ioloj) reported

    @gaeilge2036 @carolecadwalla @BBC The EU closed down the EU controlled sat feed, so Sky, Virgin, Freeview et al can’t provide a service. If it was down to Boris & Dorries no doubt it would still be live, as it is over the internet. Also, I think that most Tories would argue that the BBC isn’t state controlled.

  • BananaEzzy12 The Ice Cream Man (@BananaEzzy12) reported

    The thing is with being British and having freeview tv there’s not many ppl I can relate to in cartoons and ****

  • princessmel_87 𝕄 𝔼 𝕃 👑 (@princessmel_87) reported

    @InJDWeStan Don't have anything. Except 6mths free disney+as changed my o2 contract & lowered cost. Only ever get prime when they email for free or 99p a week offer. With not working for past year and half, got be careful. Got freeview otherwise

  • Lenlfc Paul Lennon (@Lenlfc) reported

    @hello_im_nik @dee_danya Anyway, I never did find the BBC News HD channel on Freeview 😭
