    @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.

  • 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.

  • AStrangerJ A.j. Stranger #UTAG (@AStrangerJ) reported from Bromley, England

    On the Freeview “REALLY” channel at 9pm, “Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?”. I’ve never seen it before, but I bet the answers not Jeffrey Epstein.

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

    I will never have normal freeview tv

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

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on Freeview.

  • 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😡

  • JEFFREY03296741 JEFFREY PHILLIPS (@JEFFREY03296741) reported from Brentford, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • MartinC93414706 Martin (@MartinC93414706) reported from Lambeth, England

    @channel5_tv is the worst for catch up tv via your app or freeview. Just can’t find programmes sometimes. Trying to find Sally Lindsays posh sleepover. C4, itv and BBC never ever have a problem with. I give up with C5

  • maggieinlondon Maggie - wear a mask 💙🏳️‍🌈🌱 (@maggieinlondon) reported from Wandsworth, England

    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

  • RegenerateAndy Andy Smith (@RegenerateAndy) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Channel ‘Pick’ on freeview. Never heard of it before but grateful for it tonight #chelsea

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, England

    @MyHydeHome @SCCIAlphatrack Not even sure how that's possible there's no record anyways over the weekend we lost signal for the communal aerial it has become very weak very pixelated can pick up the Freeview HD channels

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • louisesarahh Louise Sarah (@louisesarahh) reported

    @ebdxo Do you have access to it? If you don’t have access to satellite TV, you don’t need a license. But if you have freeview or anything where you could watch the BBC then you still need it. It’s ****, I barely ever watch BBC 🙄

  • cgzucchelli Claudio Zucchelli (@cgzucchelli) reported

    @LGUKCare the Freeview program guide is taking up to a minute to load the program schedule on my C9. This should be almost instant. Please help.

  • VoiceBritannia Broke Britannia (aka Voice Britannia) (@VoiceBritannia) reported

    You know what, #Wrestling is all over UK TV (freeview/FreeSat) but it's advertised terribly! Looking on the EPG today I found WWE NXT UK is on Paramount Network (Thurs), Impact Wrestling on 5star (sat) and PWC on Sports stuff TV (?). There used to be a lot more! #KeepLooking

  • Pauljohnsoneggs Paul Johnson (@Pauljohnsoneggs) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Thanks for the info but resetting the box does not help. The new update and software installed is too much for these black boxes. Are you not releasing a better box to support such an update ? The 4k box doesnt have freeview, not sure why it's even a box..... thank you!

  • McMclaughlin16 Kieran McLaughlin (@McMclaughlin16) reported

    Have unfortunately just perused Freeview TV. Never have I ever imagined such shite would be presented to any. Someone please save us !

  • pcttons fugitive era ☼ (@pcttons) reported

    sunshine on leith with george mackay in it is such a terrible musical movie but if it’s on the freeview tv guide i’ll watch it 😭

  • NationalTheatre National Theatre (@NationalTheatre) reported

    @lornadupre If you're in the UK, Sky Arts is a free channel and you don't need to be a Sky customer! It's Channel 11 on Freeview. The film is being repeated on Easter Monday at 9.30pm and Thursday 8 April at 10pm.

  • NationalTheatre National Theatre (@NationalTheatre) reported

    @Katet282 So sorry you've had trouble watching! You could try it on the Freeview Play app, to watch one of the repeats on Sky Arts, Easter Monday at 9.30pm or Thursday 8th April at 10pm.

  • stinky_mitten Nightshift (@stinky_mitten) reported

    @LongCjlsackley1 I have Sky broadband & have very few problems. I got rid of Sky TV & now have Freeview. I also have Netflix & Amazon Prime but not all Progs even old stuff is free on Amazon.

  • gemariewilliams Gemma Williams (@gemariewilliams) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice just plugged in our new freeview box, only 40 odd channels appearing out of the expected 139 for our area - can you help?
