  • 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

  • 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 👍

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

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

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

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

    @PanasonicUK I have Panasonic Viera TV set now the Sony Crime Channel on Freeview channel 40 has moved to channel 60 but when I click on 60 all I get is Loading Interactive Service then the screen goes blank can you help me please or send an engineer

  • 1FatKev Kevin Killoran (@1FatKev) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia really poor show all TV channels drop out just as the snooker semifinal is about to finish #freeview why not.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • EranE1980 Eran Edry (@EranE1980) reported from Camden Town, England

    @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

  • 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 😂

  • 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

  • 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😡

Freeview Issues Reports

  • willmgreenhalgh William Greenhalgh (@willmgreenhalgh) reported

    @Maxiwacks @Channel4 it more seems to affect channel 4 HD then certain programmes but it also seems to act differently depending on what service your using, such as satellite cable and freeview, or internet services which are mostly broken

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @DAVE710710 Hi Dave, Sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. Can you please DM Freeview Advice your postcode and house name/number and we will look into this further for you. Melissa

  • pijayess Pete Suters ◉○○ ✨ (@pijayess) reported

    @Trash_Panda_C Voyager and TOS on Horror Channel and DS9 on Pick - every week night. Not bad for standard freeview TV.

  • knit1slip1psso Plane Jane 🇪🇺 (@knit1slip1psso) reported

    @mojomarconi The problem is sweetheart you are not in Europe. We can only get Freeview through a third party. Freesat footprint, since the new Satellite doesn’t reach places it used to reach. BritBox is not available in Portugal, although I would be happy to subscribe. 😭🤬

  • lauren_miles L a u r e n (@lauren_miles) reported

    Anyone having issues with the Voice-over on #bakeoff watch it via freeview rather than Sky and its much better #GBBO ☺

  • PATVOne1 P.A.T.V. Scunthorpe (@PATVOne1) reported

    @FlissWolf @E4Tweets It also depends on how and where you’re watching. I understand Freeview viewers may be seeing the broken feed in certain areas, while satellite and cable are on the back up. Watching catch up content on All4 is fine, it’s just the live streams that are showing the broken feeds.

  • planet_leesti Words of Planet Leesti (@planet_leesti) reported

    @Traceyspacey1 Odd. Tho. In the olde days when I had Freeview in the house, a) the Freeview folks were surprised I could get it at all for where i was, but b) we picked up a transmitter near Scunthorpe. I never got local radio at all, it was always Yorkshire based. So definitely consistent!

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @JoshxReid @PATVOne1 @4Music They did move out of the music section on Sky a few years back to allow them to do this. Not an issue on Freeview with everything thrown in together. It is poor branding though - same with CBS Drama showing hours of Judge Judy.

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @Adam_Peterkin @htwcentral They've now got an apology on the Freeview guide for 4Music stating that they're showing The Box whilst they fix the fault. The Box is being shown with subtitles.

  • jaco45er Jaco45er (@jaco45er) reported

    @dougmcfarlane41 @NickyAACampbell @bbc5live There was something on the radio the other day about claiming money from companies who don’t provide paid internet services after so many days. I guess freeview wouldn’t be included. What is the actual problem, have they said?
