  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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 😂

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • PATVOne1 P.A.T.V. Scunthorpe (@PATVOne1) reported

    @Markylad29 @boxhits @4Music Unfortunately for now it isn’t permanent, just a back up as 4Music is still off air following issues at Red Bee Media… but you never know, Box Plus may see the interest in having a second channel on Freeview

  • Terrywhittingh8 Terrywhittingham (@Terrywhittingh8) reported

    @FreeviewTV The Yesterday channel has disappeared from my TV. To start with the message said "no signal". When I retuned, it said " invalid channel". I've done a Freeview check using my postcode, but that said no outages in my area. Any hints on how to get Yesterday back.

  • m1sac I mohammed (@m1sac) reported

    @andyliverbird You tube surfing. Try streaming fury wilder. The crap that’s on freeview. If all else fails re organise you clothes

  • GarySyms Gary #NHSPay15 💙🌍🌈💖 (@GarySyms) reported

    @skindeep1956 @TheNorthernEcho Absolutely agree with you, I've phoned Freeview, TV Licence, even Arqiva, & just constantly getting fobbed off by people who don't have a clue. 8 weeks now with no TV services at all! Bilsdale mast fire caused by overloading a 52 year old transmitter & poor maintenance!

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    @danowen79 @LukeCustardtv NOW sent me a questionnaire about this a little while ago. Sounds like a great TV. I especially like the built-in soundbar. But as a pay-lite customer, I wouldn't pay for full Sky. And no Freeview tuner rules me out.

  • naughtysaintni1 naughtysaintnick (@naughtysaintni1) reported

    @dan63uk Some places don’t have the signal to get all of the freeview channels. When I used to stay in some places in Wales you’d be lucky to get 20 channels, depending where area.
