    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

    @gary_worden @cjssydney @cptcapitalg @FrogAlaPeche Poor people either don't have a TV or watch freeview.

    @TalkingPicsTV Great line-up… but I can’t get ‘Red Button’ on Freeview to work. Any idea why not? Your FAQs don’t help - I’ve retuned but there’s no Encore logo under the TPTV logo…

  • MaryJasper2 Mary Jasper (@MaryJasper2) reported from Penzance, England

    @GBNEWS I am subscribed to GB News on YouTube but can’t seem to get it live. Freeview 236 has no watchable signal this morning. Please can anyone advise?

  • RobSmit12639238 Tech Man (@RobSmit12639238) reported

    @ImIncorrigible Not yet. Im preparing for at least a 2 week blackout of Radio when it happens. I'll check Nick Abbot's Fri/Sat podcast. Havent watched Freeview since 2015/Sky since 2017 so avoiding News wont be a problem. YT & the New US Drama's start end Sept 2022. I'll listen 2Old Nick A shows

  • jcrocker356 John🐶💜🎭🇮🇹🇪🇸🇵🇪🇪🇺 (@jcrocker356) reported

    @EdwardJDavey £500 increase over 12 months is only £41 a month. Just cancel the Sky subscription and get Freeview

  • DJGaryBaldy DJGaryBaldy 🎧 (@DJGaryBaldy) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Was it Forces TV who showed them before it shut down I know they've been on TV not so long back as I recorded them on my old Freeview PVR

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie 🇺🇦 (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @a516digital Was wondering if it might be quietly forgotten. There are no plans to include BBC News though in theory it could probably be squeeze in as well. Must say though finding the Freeview HD signal far less reliable now than it used to be.

  • juliesharp86 👉 Julie 👈 (@juliesharp86) reported

    Seen as everyone keeps telling me how bad GB News 236 on Freeview is. I have decided to watch it for todays bad news.

  • Toasty83 Dean (@Toasty83) reported

    @GregScottTV Uktv still broadcasting with a caption to turn over to bbc news earlier. Some Shopping channels down, Sky could have closed sky arts or pick on freeview with sky news in its place, They didn't, Showcase though are but it'd pay tv.

  • agameganon King of Megcenae (@agameganon) reported

    QEII dying means there is nothing on regular freeview television so I’m exploring channels I never frequent and I’ve just landed on The Osbournes Want To Believe which might be my new favourite program

  • htwcentral Historical Television Website (@htwcentral) reported

    That's all I could spot this evening on Freeview though there could have been other message(s) shown earlier which I never saw. No doubt some TV presentation sites/forums will have a comprehensive guide to what was shown/not shown tonight. 15/
