    @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.

  • maggieinlondon Maggie - wear a mask 💙🏳️‍🌈🌱 (@maggieinlondon) reported from Wandsworth, England

    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

  • AStrangerJ A.j. Stranger #UTAG (@AStrangerJ) reported from Bromley, 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.

    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?

    @sminkypinky76 @The_X_Stitcher Hi, You could try and manually tune into one transmitter to avoid this issue. It would be dependent upon how your aerial is aligned. We would be happy to help. Please DM Freeview Advice your postcode, house name and number. Melissa

  • BBQMeatLovers Janni A(long last name) (@BBQMeatLovers) reported

    @7AFL Dude. My Freeview TV isn’t getting a proper signal. Soo rip for me

    @cawalton7 Problem is I didn’t know she wanted the play side of things so I got her to buy the cheapest freeview box. Bugger

  • RealNewsUK News (@RealNewsUK) reported

    Should I report @RamadaHotels to @Ofcom for blocking @GBNews in their hotels or is it an Ofcom plan? RT News & Al Jazeera News also "no signal." Who owns them ? Rockafilla? Freeview is being censored.

  • Evoqueist Evoqueistidor 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@Evoqueist) reported from Upton, England

    @101Maurice We get EE 4G but it's pretty patchy I live in a suburban area a couple of miles from Poole in Dorset and can't get a freeView signal so have to use Freesat....
