  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @VAS6323 She's on Freeview, but likes all of that treasure hunter crap. I just daisy chain them all together for her, and she now has 7 "potential tuners" Just like my old man, "maximum potential"

  • WayneTreasury WAYNE ANDREWS (@WayneTreasury) reported

    @danwootton I'm currently not getting a signal at all on Channel 236 on Freeview - any idea why?

  • word_soup Ian (@word_soup) reported

    @SuperRetroid Had that on my first freeview pvr & after the initial novelty had worn off I basically never used it.

  • JayDeeDaz Darren Stather (@JayDeeDaz) reported

    Been a year since CC w/ Google TV was released, still no All4 app. G TV sets are being released with catchup apps from Freeview Play rather than Play Store - and still not yet installed (TBC!). Awful UX. Same story with old Nexus Player. Amazon and Apple are now tempting. Shame.

  • Flintaxe Amanda 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Flintaxe) reported

    Sooo, no freeview channels available whatsoever. No signal apparently. 🤷🏼 What a time to be alive.

  • KellyEdwards85 Kelly Edwards (@KellyEdwards85) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice i've had no freeview TV in Southampton area, SO14, since Wednesday last week. There is a picture and channels but not watchable due to poor signal cutting in and out. Please advise. Ive retuned many times and not resolved. ☹

  • MissJerichoY2J Miss Jericho (@MissJerichoY2J) reported

    @wwe_wwf_Junkie Is this like when Dave tried to compare AEW and WWE numbers from the UK - not mentioning that AEW is on freeview and WWE is on an expensive subscription service?

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @HighVizBoozo Oof, Craith! WTF has happened to S4C on freeview anyway? Bastards!

  • SketchLisa Lisa Harding (@SketchLisa) reported

    @cawalton7 Problem is I didn’t know she wanted the play side of things so I got her to buy the cheapest freeview box. Bugger
