    @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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

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

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

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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😡

  • 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

  • gildy61 Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    If I invest in that portable hard drive to record Freeview. Two things will happen. I'll either find it will never have much space taken up because there are so many repeats or stuff that doesn't interest or...I'll be recording so much I will be possibly watching loads that I>>>

  • ivedonethatokx Nobody told me there'd be days like these! (@ivedonethatokx) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV I really miss Talking Pictures channel, it was brilliant for my bedbound or less stimulated input days...With you from the start, and now you're gone..(and never called me mother!)Ever since the last update of my freeview ,wherefore art thou 😢?

  • AlanScobbie Alan Scobbie (@AlanScobbie) reported

    I don’t trust anyone younger than me that still watches linear tv but I’d rather have bbc content churned out on a channel than the alternative crap. Have you ever seen what’s taking up the freeview bandwidth?

  • AndyEMorrison Andy Morrison (@AndyEMorrison) reported

    @trevorw1953 It won't be- it will be using spare bandwidth available when CBBC closes down at 7pm. BBC4 is the best channel on Freeview imho.

  • Rochdale20 Nick Ansley (@Rochdale20) reported

    We are not playing, not interested in the game on Sky so scrolling through freeview for something to watch. By the time you are into the channels starting at 20 you know its a bad telly night #bhafc

  • SarahG20123 Sarah Gibbons (@SarahG20123) reported

    Anyone have any tips for Freeview signal/TV not working? Just went off yesterday. Neighbour who shares aerial has no problems but tv will play recorded programmes so think it must be a signal problem. #freeview @FreeviewTV #TV

  • ChrisTheDJ Chris Merriman (@ChrisTheDJ) reported

    @htwcentral @FreeviewAdvice @FreeviewTV Yes. LG says it's coz they broadcast in MHEG instead of HBB. This is a lie. They all broadcast in both now. The fault is with the firmware but they're saying not. If they physically can't pick up all channels (as opposed reception issues) it shouldn't be sold as Freeview Play.

  • gildy61 Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    I'll probably keep the USB stick I purchased yesterday but am looking at the hard drives not being used with computers down and see if one can be attached to the freeview recorder to increase the amount of memory I can record TV programmes too. OTOH with another USB stick that's>

  • PogleTog TogPogle (@PogleTog) reported

    **** this Wednesday bullshit...parliament freeview 9 till whatever,, just get tae **** now, low grade budget offerring transfer of legal powers. Stinking is what you are. Duff n Phelps.

  • RLBROOKSLTD BROOKS WHITEHAVEN (@RLBROOKSLTD) reported

    02/03/2021: Freeview TV Signal Issues The Whitehaven & St Bees TV transmitters currently have reported faults on BBC channels due due to essential engineering work. Our advice is that you DO NOT RE-TUNE YOUR TV’S. we would expect that the signal will return once the work is done.
