    @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.

    @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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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😡

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • Marmalord Marmalord (the) (@Marmalord) reported from Epsom and Ewell District, England

    @itvhub Humax FVP-4000T 1TB Freeview Set Top Box Recorder, and having to sign in more or less every time is making us all dislike Martin Freeman

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

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

  • omotforest david sinfield #pssc (@omotforest) reported from West Molesey, England

    To be honest, when you've removed the dependency of other real time tv, i cant see many people chipping in. Many will be paying just to watch their subscription service or Freeview.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

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

  • 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

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

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

  • slmkingsley kingsley (@slmkingsley) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hello! None of the freeview apps on our smart tv are working at the moment - we get a freeview error. Are there any issues at the moment?

  • okiamfabioneto F1unds🇦🇴🇫🇷 (@okiamfabioneto) reported

    @Myaa_silvss And to make it worst I’m forced to watch ****** Freeview tv because they don’t have smart tv’s in a room that can cost you £1000

  • Ann63557648 Ann🐾🐹🐶🐱🐴💕 (@Ann63557648) reported

    Are there any issues with Freeview TV tonight? We aren't getting any ITV channels or channel 4

  • BarclayWrongans SensibleSteve (@BarclayWrongans) reported

    @LittleBoats2020 I cannot fathom the complacency of the British over this but the big problem is that the media cover up is working. A Freeview channel would be nice with back 2 back footage as seen on here of the slimy little wrongans getting caught every day of the ******* week.

  • NickHackett2 Nicholas (@NickHackett2) reported

  • x_chemicalism_x l'appel du vide (he/they) (@x_chemicalism_x) reported

    Anyone else having issues with Freeview?

  • gz4216 SevenDaysToNoon (@gz4216) reported

    @Josneat @FreeviewAdvice I’m betting it’s the usual high pressure issue. When I lose my Freeview I use a link I’ve got saved to a high pressure map. If it’s high. That’s the reason it’s down. No point in contacting Freeview “support” as they are about as much use as a chocolate ashtray on a motorcycle!

  • Julesgw Jules W (@Julesgw) reported

    @beckyboopta Same in our house but with random Freeview channels (never the main ones) not movies. Judge Judy seems to be one of the faves… 🙄

  • _philjohn Philip John (@_philjohn) reported

    @SteveCo12420968 TV License also pays for the transmitter network used by all other TV stations on Freeview.

  • werwhatwer julie holland (@werwhatwer) reported

    @premierinn please can you tell me if you have fix your tv at Sandown seafront on isle of wight. As last time was there you couldn't get local news only Yorkshire news plus you didn't have the full freeview channel. I had more at home that in your hotel
