    @FreeviewAdvice hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

  • PurpleDon1973 MadameCholet (@PurpleDon1973) reported from Ilford, England

    Some days I really wish I'd kept all those calls to @JimDavisOnAir on my freeview box. I've been sent way back in time with a USB memory stick, a few years back with some calls. Damn, I really miss those days with the song choice and #JimDavisLive And it was just brilliant radio

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    @Forces_TV hi guys having a few problems with your freeview picture in London it freezes or breaks up had it since Friday

  • 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.

  • 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

  • u0421793 Ian K Tindale (@u0421793) reported from East Ham, England

    Freeview tv is crap again tonight ,apart from french war drama on BBC2 - The Guardians(2017) I missed the first 30min ,so will watch from the start at first opportunity,Going to check Netflix.

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

  • 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

  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

    @nowtvhelp I still got my old with the built-in Freeview TV all that still work and I do I'll come back to you because I transferred my account to BT I Wish I Never now if that box doesn't work I have to buy my NOW TV stick from you?

  • 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

  • summers_allan Allan Kempson (@summers_allan) reported from Romford, England

    @talkSPORT @Sjopinion10 That's a bad idea. Sky have rights to other sports too, so a netflix football service would be yet another thing to pay for if you like multiple sports. More football needs to be on freeview channels like BBC and ITV.

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    Time for the BBC to close down the BBCNews channel as they always seem to put it on BBC1 at same time WHY as BBCNews is available on sky freesat and freeview you dont need it on BBC1

  • flowergirl_lon Sam (Flower Girl) Jennings (@flowergirl_lon) reported from Croydon, England

    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

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

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

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • molesworth_1 molesworth_1 (@molesworth_1) reported

    @sliderulesyou Sympathies. I just pray my old man never finds GB News on the Freeview.

  • M_I_Ross Matthew Ross (@M_I_Ross) reported

    @GaymerChat Yeah, I’m going to watch Stranger Things 4 then probably cancel. I’m tempted to cancel the package altogether and rely on Freeview and assorted streaming apps on the Apple TV. Maybe I’ll make a dent in my massive pile of unread books? (Spoiler: I will not…)

  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    Hi @rmc47 - @melharbour suggested you might be able to help. Any ideas why a Freeview TV signal might disappear in the middle of the day? We've retuned, but it works fine until about 8.30am, then pixelated before finally displaying 'no signal' - so can't believe it's the tuning

  • yopintar84 Painterman (@yopintar84) reported

    @pennylongstckng Can't watch mainstream TV any longer, it's just infested with woke, poisonous lies & drivel. Not good I appreciate but these days I either spend time channel hopping through Freeview or don't even bother to put the TV on. Forget Netflix etc, just the same mind controlling garbage

  • em_doapsi Emma-Lucy (@em_doapsi) reported

    @AuthorSJB @SophyRidgeSky @nadhimzahawi Freeview- damn autocorrect

  • FoxfordMr Mr. Eric Foxford (@FoxfordMr) reported

    @MrJohnNicolson @terrychristian @Channel4 She’s lying. Selling off Channel 4 is prologue to selling off the BBC. Only rich Tories will benefit from it. The poor will have to pay more for subscription TV than they ever would for the BBC, ITV C4, C5 and Freeview. All that for around 47p a day licence fee.

  • DrBrowningSleep Dr Browning | Sleep Therapist (@DrBrowningSleep) reported

    I will be talking to @RobbieRinder today at 6:15pm on @TalkTV about CBT-I and the app Sleepio recommended by NICE to be the used ahead of sleeping pills to treat insomnia. Viewers can watch via 📺 Freeview 237, Sky 526, Virgin 627 #CBT

  • OllyBellamy Olly Bellamy (@OllyBellamy) reported

    Hopefully the Sue Gray report will be more Judge Judy than Punch and Judy. If she's bottled it then the best she can hope for in retirement is narrating Police Interceptors on 5star Freeview Channel 34. Which is actually not a bad gig in itself.

  • ErinMiddlemass2 Erin Middlemass (@ErinMiddlemass2) reported

    …as well as numerous add on packages and this money is being completely wasted. The customer service is absolutely shocking. I have relied on now tv rather than freeview etc for television in my home and am now left with nothing even though I’m paying upwards of £25 a month.

  • IsItBroke Phil Crawley (@IsItBroke) reported

    Just flailed past @GBNEWS on Freeview; a year on and their studio pictures still look awful and the audio sync is wrong. Did every broadcast engineer refuse the job offer?!
