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

  • 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 👍

  • 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😡

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

    @bt_uk I got a problem it's not my fault and it's not BT issue I lost a lot of Freeview channels in my flat I went to no cancel and said you can have a dish because aerials are very bad in your area where you live we've had a lot of people coming to us about the same problem

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 😂

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

  • 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!

  • PeterYorke7 Peter Yorke (@PeterYorke7) reported

    @NoContextBrits 'Videonet' was the first landline digital TV box I had, replaced by freeview and now a firestick, never had bsb sky virgin....

  • skierlisa Lisa (@skierlisa) reported

    @vonnykelly @siobhni Yes I don't have sky or netflix or any of them and where I live on Freeview we can't get lots of channels like I have never seen Dave ... Anything I am keen to find I look on my laptop for missed episodes etc

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    @isleofmanbbctv @hischeekiness But not (yet) from an Isle of Man transmitter. If you are *currently* receiving CBeebies HD on Freeview, you're picking up a signal from the UK, as COM7 does not broadcast on any of the island's transmitters. CBBC HD on the other hand does, it's on the PSB3 multiplex.

  • TheNeensSpeech Nina Salome✨ (@TheNeensSpeech) reported

    A customer actually said he was in the club for free entertainment. The words actually left his mouth. Mate it’s a ********** not Freeview: The Live Experience.

  • StaughtonMoore DJ Moo (@StaughtonMoore) reported

    @Channel4 terrible clicking noise on the England match Live on freeview. Seems to be on the 4od stream too

  • EnergyGeek2 EnergyGeek (@EnergyGeek2) reported

    @SebastianEPayne The problem here is why OFCOM allowed this channel to be called "GB News" To the man in the street, it is seen as a competitor to SKY News and BBC News As evidenced by its location on Freeview, channels 231, 233 vs 236.

  • GavNix Gavin Nixon☘️🌈 🇺🇦✊🏼#FBPPR #FBPE #SlavaUkraini (@GavNix) reported

    @Saraita101 Linear TV - and Radio, whether from an actual radio or Freeview on a TV - is vital for those easily marginalised, cut-off and lonely. I'm particularly thinking of people in care homes, folds and such-like. As no OO or Twelfth fan, I feel it's a bad decision from @BBCnireland .

  • SvenRufus Sven Rufus (@SvenRufus) reported

    @nikkibayley I recorded it ages ago - it was on Talking Pictures TV, a little Freeview start up. They get some brilliant older films that I never see anywhere else.

  • andythelodge andy (@andythelodge) reported from Clifton, England

    @1doublehandful @RacingTV Thought it went off FREEVIEW last year Sent me a @amazon firestick which is nothing but trouble

  • RobinCArmstrong Robin Armstrong (@RobinCArmstrong) reported

    Praise be for Freeview and Forces TV! Just seen 1980s mind bender The One Game is on at 9.45pm. Yes, it'll probably be **** now but I'll finally see the last episode having missed it 30 years ago...
