  • 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.

  • 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 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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 👍

  • Marmalord Marmalord (the) (@Marmalord) reported from Epsom and Ewell District, England

    @itvhub Humax FVP-4000T 1TB Freeview Set Top Box Recorder, and having to sign in more or less every time is making us all dislike Martin Freeman

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported from Camberwell, England

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • PhilipMichaelC2 Philip Michael Chapman (@PhilipMichaelC2) reported from Croydon, England

  • fussyMcWhiskers McWhiskers (@fussyMcWhiskers) reported

    @TavernHoyden I have freeview now But when I had Virgin - one of their old boxes I had had an ariel jackplug in it so whenever Virgin TV went down it would automatically switch to the freeview aerial - back then Virgin rarely went down though

  • StarWarsJ55 J (@StarWarsJ55) reported

    @il0venostalgia The 80's wasn't bogged down with genres,and internet made people less experimental. Further music got away from 92,everything had been done really! Need to bring back music to Freeview,not all stuck on the net!

  • cta84 Craig Atkins (@cta84) reported

    @MelissaJH_ **** sake. TMF on freeview special, that. Are we the oldies now?

  • TeamDorling Team Dorling (@TeamDorling) reported

    @MFC_Steve @LBC @HenryRiley1 It's on TV less than men's football and less than Emmerdale... You can just not watch it. I hate tennis but do I complain when we have multiple channels of tennis during Wimbledon? No. Nothing is being rammed down your throat. Freeview alone has 100 channels.

  • GeeTeeMcBee Gee Tee McBee 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇬🇧 (@GeeTeeMcBee) reported

    @TheDaviebhoyCFC @BBCSportScot Take it your stolen fire stick was broken for the Euro qualifier? You'll be glued to it on Freeview tonight though won't you? Creepy little man.

  • UlsterPondering Ulster Ponderings (@UlsterPondering) reported

    One of my 5 year predictions: YouTube (free version) will subtly increase the duration of adverts and their frequency just like freeview tv has done over the years. I never watch normal tv but anytime it's on at a friends house or somewhere the amount of adverts is insane

  • 200MILGAZ Gary Parslow (@200MILGAZ) reported

    @TalkTalk my elderly mother is having issues with her TalkTalk freeview box which she has had for approximately 5 years. How do we get it replaced for a newer version? Please help as she relies on tv. Symptoms are when changing the channel screen goes blank and box needs a reboot

  • d4nnytye danny (@d4nnytye) reported

    its not one size fits all but i grew up with only terrestrial/freeview and most the shows had strong moral messaging (even if it was subdued) about how to treat others, respecting differences etc, whereas USian stuff was a lot more based around consumption and celeb culture

  • KtodayU83406 theUKtoday (@KtodayU83406) reported

    Movies on Freeview get worse and worse. They just had all the equaliser films on now it's all the films made with Jason Statham in them. Next it will be that awful actor John Travolta, then Bruce Willis then Arnold Schwarzenegger then Nicolas Cage who I can't stand.

  • chrissyjay ChrissyJay 💙 (@chrissyjay) reported

    @LGUKCare @freeview @FreeviewAdvice Help! Freeview has disappeared from my LG TV. Cant work out how. Missed the footie! Need the service back before the final!
