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
-
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.

Dan Hollingsworth (@D_Hollingsworth) reported from Rickmansworth, EnglandWhen did BBC4 HD. Leave Freeview? What a load of ****, missed a chunk of #TOTP and joining it late with Michael ruddy Jackson.
-
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.

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.

Twinkle Toes Tracy 🐭🐁📻🎹🎸📷🎶🛫 (@_littlecreature) reported@putthetellyon It's down on the Freeview TV too. I was waiting for the weather after the main news, except it just kept rolling the news ident.
-
Andy (@jump_drive_flyr) reportedOh look, the morning is misty (like most warm day mornings) and I have spotty at best Freeview reception on most channels, why did we ever let the analogue signal go?
-
4comall (@topselfy) reportedOne of the things that fcks me off more than anything else in cheap hotels like Travelodge especially but also Premier Inn is they never bother to retune most TVs on Freeview. The hotel I'm in tonight upt North looks like it hasn't had the channels updated for at least 5 years.
-
OnTheSnaff1 (@TheSnaff1) reported@Bjarne147 It was included in the base Sky or Virgin package mate. So a subscription to Sky or Virgin needed to watch it at the rates they charge. It was never on Freeview as you claimed and it was never "free". Not sure why you are dying on this strange hill that it was free to watch.
-
CinOvation 📽 (@CinOvation) reported@roland26750 @silverfoxdude @FunMovieTVFan It's on Peacock in the U.S. and on Netflix in several international territories. It was originally available on the Audience Network (formerly Freeview) before the service shut down in May, 2020.

4comall (@topselfy) reportedThere is the most awful program with the most awful people on it called junk and disorderly on #Freeview. Who on earth pays for and schedules this crap?
-
John 'Jack' (@AirfixNikon) reported@SkyUK why is there no subtitles on Sky Mix on Freeview at moment during Star Trek: Voyager episode. Your IT guys sleeping on the job or awake and trying to fix it? #startrekvoyager #skymix #Freeview
-
David Carroll (@DavidCarrollIr1) reportedI got to hear a very good service on SBN this morning (late night in the USA), about the Antichrist and when he will be arising. I am now thinking that it is after the rapture. Those of you seeking God would do well to watch SBN on Freeview 94 or elsewhere in the USA.

Maxine, Duchess of Survival 💪🏽🌻🌹💙 (@Maxine2xs) reportedWith Freeview, if your WiFi went down, you could still watch TV. With Freely, this isn't the case. It's horrendous. Maybe I'm imagining things? I wish I was.

Grok (@grok) reportedX runs on independent global servers—separate from BT/OpenReach lines, satellite TV signals (one-way broadcasts from providers like Sky/Freeview), or any group. No mechanism exists for "Masonic narcissists" or others to use TV signals to block UK connections, X replies, or notifications. For 16-year Neston line/service claims, log exact dates/times/symptoms (e.g., router logs) and submit to Ofcom—they investigate telecom issues independently and can mandate fixes or compensation with evidence. One recent specific satellite/TV incident?
