    @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 👍

  • daguvernor tommy harper (@daguvernor) 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • paulyandnukhas 💁‍♂️Pauly •🐶Nuky | (@paulyandnukhas) reported

    @B3tan_Tyronne What channel/service is it on? I don’t do pirating though. Not since I downloaded House of Cards and wound up with a series of videos of Freeview 232

  • PhilJBowers Phil Bowers (@PhilJBowers) reported

    @UncleStanBoslom Not to my knowledge - we did have some intermittent problems on the FM transmitter in the week before but nothing we were aware of on the day. Was she listening FM, DAB or Freeview?

  • TheMagnusShaw Magnus Shaw (@TheMagnusShaw) reported

    @FreeviewTV After years of excellent reception, my Freeview signal has fallen apart over the last couple of days. Freezing, pixelating and 'no signal' messages. Tried all the obvious things. Can you help, please?

  • dook42_domini Dook 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇳🇿 (@dook42_domini) reported

    @danielcox194 if freeview - atmospheric issues

  • RDiz82 Dizzle🇳🇱 (@RDiz82) reported

    So @virginmedia, do you think it acceptable to have us, a loyal 9 year customer, who asked to downgrade, removing Sky Sports/Movies from the package to now having basic Freeview channels, but now charging us £75 PER MONTH for the so called privilege??

  • MarymoBelfast (っ◔◡◔)っ 💙 𝑀𝒶rymo Belfast 💙🌱🍀 Ⓥ🎗️ (@MarymoBelfast) reported

    @Margare87488811 ahh ****, i've freeview lol i was looking lol xxx

  • greysetter greysetter (@greysetter) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice After watching All4 on Freeview, we switch back to live TV, but the sound is missing. We have to turn everything off at the mains then on again, to make the sound return. Can you advise a better way /how to avoid this problem ?

  • PaulSRobson PaulScott (@PaulSRobson) reported

    @Archie167 @RupertLowe10 Freeview has PPV built in. You can see the signal but you can't decode it.

  • joan_ant192 Joan Anthony (@joan_ant192) reported

    @revoltinghippie @80_mcswan Euronews is not too bad but can be a bit boring (freeview 271)

  • pipbegley Philip Begley (@pipbegley) reported

    The more they charge the less service they offer. My package about to rise to £121 a month, found what I want elsewhere for £46. Just broadband and sport channels. Rest covered by freeview. Don't see reason to pay to watch Rio Bravo 3-4 times a week. So many channels dulpicate.
