  • 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.

    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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 😂

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

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported

    @dj85ftm My cousin works for sky & if you cancel, a few weeks later they’ll call you back & offer a decent discount. I’ve cancelled a few times over the yrs & never handed a box back & you can watch the freeview channels through the box

  • woollyliberal Roy Gillett: British, European & H. Sapiens (@woollyliberal) reported

    @NickCohen4 @Kevin_Maguire Crap, innit I had to turn the actual Freeview telly on which I almost never do

  • julianfells Julian Fells (@julianfells) reported

    @henry_stleger @LGUK @techradar I’l confess U saw this excellent article, but feel it needs a wider audience. Now LG have fixed the issue for 2921 TVs there’s a danger they’ll forget about us (like Netcast). So please keep up the pressure on LG and Freeview to resolve this for 2030 LG TVs. Thanks!

  • nick_thompson Nicholas Thompson (@nick_thompson) reported

    @NewsAMorgan @Jezzer_UK @mrmitchell78 Problem is, the services they offer are publically broadcast and not trivially paywalls for a subscription service. Sure, freeview offers some kind of encrypted broadcast, but that's just the TV. What do we do? Paywall BBC news and weather? Kill all FM BBC radio?

  • AnnieGE2 AnnieGE2 (@AnnieGE2) reported

    @EmmaKennedy A tip if you're still finding itv2 signal dodgy on your Sky box, assuming the TV you're watching on has digital freeview built-in you can always switch to viewing itv2 on freeview, the signal source would be different. Need an aerial of course & a (re)tuned TV, & select DTV input

    Some spoilers on Twitter for anyone watching on a streaming service rather than Freeview.

  • ThatsTVScotland That's TV Scotland (@ThatsTVScotland) reported
