  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

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

  • 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.

    @skytv @TalkTV Why is the picture and sound glitchy. The picture quality is great but it's just not playing correctly. Note... Rest of my channels are fine even CNN which in bad weather disappears 1st. Also freeview is working fine... Thank you.

  • f1girl kim (@f1girl) reported

    @FreeviewTV Yet again NO FREEVIEW, why between 12 noon and about 8pm we hae no TV sort it its your problem NOT ours

  • sussexterrier Kevin Beaumont (@sussexterrier) reported

    Tried to watch "Putin - the road to War" on PBS America and PBS America + 1 - 84/87 on freeview. Unwatchable owing to "interference". Never any problems with this channel previously. I wonder....

  • cotswold31415 Sir Fiftysomething Gardener 💛💙🇺🇦 (@cotswold31415) reported

    @HumaxUK Why are @BBCiPlayer programmes not loading and playing on Freeview?? Been down for a few days now…

  • Matiasisback 🏑 Matte 🏑 (@Matiasisback) reported

    @Rhysj37 @FGHockey Got have bad times to have the good, sadly good times of 2016/17 2017/18 seem a distance memory now! Cheers for the insight. No s4c or BBC two Wales up on Freeview in our hotel. #Gutted

  • eldavldn Eli Davies (@eldavldn) reported

    People who have freeview in Belfast: is the signal universally terrible or is it just my particular aerial?

  • Andrew_Willcox Andy (@Andrew_Willcox) reported

    @Richardt1850 @VodkaSrups We realised we watched one channel that wasn’t on freeview…we now pay for every streaming service there is and don’t even get close to the same price.

  • DBD365 Paul Day (@DBD365) reported

    How ******** am I watching Clive James interview Katherine Hepburn for an hour on a Freeview channel called 'That's TV Xmas'?

  • Oog Katy Moon Knight (@Oog) reported

    @TheAzzo We are suckers for Sky/Virgin, and our telly has all the apps and services etc etc. Can't remember that last time I used freeview telly 😬 Our Internet is also RIDIC so we have no streaming issues at all.

  • EricBear18 Eric Bear (@EricBear18) reported

    @chomper_TC @CodsyBear We do struggle to find stuff on Netflix these days - even alot of their « new » shows have already been on Freeview. Trouble with Amazon is there is alot of stuff without subtitles and we need those much of the time 🙄
