  • Davidp1103 David-19 (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @TalkTalk It would be nice if you could reduce or remove a £40 charge for an engineer who called but made no inspection of equipment, explained that Freeview channels had been altered; a fact that your customer services were not aware of, but should have known.

  • 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.

  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38

  • 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?

  • 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

  • sospainter 🅿🅰🆄🅻 🅲🅾🅻🅻🅸🅴🆁 (@sospainter) reported from Whyteleafe, England

    @IanSlaterPhoto1 @VixThatRuns I have a sizeable Samsung. Ditched Virgin Media, the plan was to have Freeview. The tv doesn’t support Freeview!

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

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

  • 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 😂

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

  • 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

  • antnorwe Anthony Norwood (@antnorwe) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi Lisa. I definitely have a TCL television however when I go to use Freeview Play or one of the Freeview Play apps I'm prompted to accept terms and conditions that never appear. How can I check if my specific TV should have Freeview Play working.

  • GingerM1ke Michael Jones (@GingerM1ke) reported from Colwyn Bay, Wales

    @Brit9er @lesber12 @GBullstein No, but if you scroll down the channels on Sky or Freeview you will notice that there are multiple BBC 1's for each English region 🤷

  • Carti_Mandua LadyAnniSpice... #IStandWithIsrael 🔯🕎✡️🇮🇱 (@Carti_Mandua) reported

    @TonyH091963 @BraidmanNathan @DavidBr65161102 I watch all the holocast footage etc on Freeview - Yesterday/Smithsonian and PBS America .... the Germans kept such good records and footage as they were so proud of what they did ....never ever though their 1000 year Reich would end ....their records helped convict them ....

  • ChrissiBranson1 Chrissi Branson (@ChrissiBranson1) reported

    @AndyWilsonFS @MoneySavingExp Not all of them are essentials and what the OP might pay out for the flat. TV package is not essential that is what freeview is for. Service charges are not always paid for on flats as that normally covers areas of shared ownership eg hallways grass etc.

  • EddieRobson Eddie Robson (1969 Glyn Johns Mix) (@EddieRobson) reported

    @prkirkley We never get those here! Not sure why but we only get about 90% of Freeview on our transmitter, so there are a few channels we don't get (CBeebies HD and Freesports too). Maybe they're also the most likely to go down elsewhere?

  • MaJules64 MaJules (@MaJules64) reported

    @jasonpeacock8 @arqiva Compensation for what? A service you don't even pay for in the first place, you don't pay for Freeview, the clue is in the name. As you have Virgin Media you still have access to live TV so are not due any sort of refund.

  • B_Neash Becca Neash (@B_Neash) reported

    Freeview tv is ****, no wonder no body pays for a TV licence

  • PhilipTemple50 Philip Temple. (@PhilipTemple50) reported

    @Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP @bphillipsonMP I'm on my own had 32 pounds on electricity never had electric fire on or washer just got basics on TV freeview box now down nearly a 5er. Robbing bastards

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @Richard92654559 Hi Richard, I am sorry to hear that you have been having issues with your Freeview channels. So we can look into this further can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • IronMask75 IronMask75 (@IronMask75) reported

    @malcolmparsons @SwitchMediaAU @FreeviewAU Yes, though it's difficult to tell if it's directly a Freeview issue or an issue with the Sony TV guide.
