  • Tommy_M_E_J Tom Jordan (@Tommy_M_E_J) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @njvns That’s so shit. It’s literally called freeview and yet it’s not free

  • 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.

  • JensFallesen Jens Fallesen (@JensFallesen) reported from Hounslow, England

    @leksi_p Correct. If you do not have Freeview, Sky or Virgin (or any other cable service), you should not need to pay if you never watch it.

  • Beige29 Beige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    @loudouglas75 I have such shit freeview I only have itv2+1

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍

  • ProfJohnEllis John Ellis (@ProfJohnEllis) reported from Egham, England

    @MariaMichalis @All4 C4 is in talks to join Britbox... and you get surveillance on any streaming service, even ad funded. That’s how they can target the ads and tell you where your nearest car dealership is (new in All4). Only Freeview lets you keep anonymity

  • Beige29 DarkBeige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    Now I have the truly truly shit @EE freeview package (literally the worst selection of channels on earth but boy is it cheap broadband) I only watch the main 5 channels or SVOD. W, Dave, ITV2 etc are dead to me

  • 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.

  • 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 😂

  • Beige29 Dark_Beige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    @Disco_Squirrel I’ve got the shitty EE freeview box and it’s one of the apps on there, but never used

  • 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

  • Scare158Steve Scarebear (@Scare158Steve) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @bt_uk Thanks for the help. I spoke to freeview, tried a few things which didn't work but i contacted your TV help and after doing a few basic things somehow it appears to be working now! Very Strange. Tks

  • omotforest david sinfield #pssc (@omotforest) reported from West Molesey, England

    To be honest, when you've removed the dependency of other real time tv, i cant see many people chipping in. Many will be paying just to watch their subscription service or Freeview.

  • budgie Lee 'Budgie' Barnett (@budgie) reported from Richmond, England

    @DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

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

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

  • niklasRen Nik Rahmel (@niklasRen) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @Stephen_Neal Good shout! If we just take the Freeview/Freesat ones, we get to ten, excluding the National ones: 1) BBC One 2) BBC Two 3) BBC Four 4) CBBC 5) CBeebies 6) BBC News 7) BBC Parliament 8) Dave 9) Drama 10) Yesterday But they aren’t licence fee funded, so don’t help the argument.

  • fishinthedark1 fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

  • daguvernor tommy harper (@daguvernor) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia once again trying to contact virgin media is a no go a proper waste of time contract has run out trying to cancel they have put the money up to £60 a month for basically 2 freeview boxes I have cancelled my direct debit which is due on the 7 april what a scam😡

  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

  • vjlorenzato Victoria Lorenzato (@vjlorenzato) reported from Brentford, England

    Catholic Twitter UK- help please! Anyone know of a Mass being broadcast on TV tomorrow ( not via internet) Lovely elderly lady has Freeview but no internet.... TIA!

  • NOWHelpTeam NOW Help Team (@NOWHelpTeam) reported

    @petew2804 Hi Peter, Whether you've got a Smart Box with Freeview or a Smart Box with 4K and Voice Search, you'll find the reset button on the bottom of your Box. For a factory reset, hold the button down for about 6 seconds.

  • BradyKevin1951 Kevin Brady (@BradyKevin1951) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Who the hell came up with this bxxxdy Freeview signal idea. Whoever wants his/her IQ tested. I am watching a program on 5USA and then nothing. They must have taken all of a week to test it. BBC1-100%, 5USA-0%. Do I have to pray for rain? (Low pressure system).

  • DOPreston Duke of Preston🇬🇧🇲🇹🇸🇲🇨🇭🇷🇴🇮🇪 (@DOPreston) reported

    @derrickca @virginmedia I don’t have either. I Just have the streaming sites and Freeview and Broadband provided separately. They don’t care about your custom. If they did they’d resolve the problems that have been ongoing for 15 years!

  • RosalynConnors Ros Connors (@RosalynConnors) reported

    Oh not again! Brighton Festival on @bbcsoutheast Yesterday it was Redhill in the Home Counties @BBCLondonNews area. For God's Sake please let's be rid of this so-called "South-East" news service from the Bluebell Hill Freeview mast with its constant references to Brighton.

  • joejglenton Glenton Baptiste (@joejglenton) reported

    Also, if grandad would not tell you... that leaves **** documentaries on Freeview and Rod Liddle to inform the view that WW2 was a slightly aggressive camping trip and not a apocalyptic global death storm of fascist hatred which killed millions of people.

  • Th0ma5LFC Thomas Moore🔞 (@Th0ma5LFC) reported

    @roomorgue Roo Wotever you do don’t watch really channel on freeview they show animal rescues by Houston animal rescue but if joes dog had been brought there dog would be goodnight Vienna all they seem to do if it’s behavioural probs put the dog to sleep not even try to help it 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @BbcBring @russty_russ @journeymaxx You're welcome. The signal is quite random here on the Wirral. Some days S4C will come through very well on Freeview, other days not at all! After the initial switchover viewers across the North West were getting signals from Wales but not the North West!

  • ROBERT12772279 ROBERT GRIFFITHS (@ROBERT12772279) reported

    @freeview no signal Sutton Coldfield transmitter

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @FreeviewTV @JimIrvineUK Following is email to sky news:Like hundreds in Swindon and others in UK at 2130 we lost freeview signal  we just are left with screen saying no signal there is no news or update with freeview  I attempted to retune and programs break up till you get no signal messege.

  • ttandfinn Thru Thick & Finn (@ttandfinn) reported

    @somefinnspecial So I've checked out Sky Arts in the UK. If u are a Sky customer you can download or watch back the CH doc. Keep your eyes peeled for a repeat on freeview. Certainly nothing I can see in next 7 days 🧐
