  • PurpleDon1973 MadameCholet (@PurpleDon1973) reported from Ilford, England

    Some days I really wish I'd kept all those calls to @JimDavisOnAir on my freeview box. I've been sent way back in time with a USB memory stick, a few years back with some calls. Damn, I really miss those days with the song choice and #JimDavisLive And it was just brilliant radio

    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

    All those **** channels on Freeview and it's BBC News HD that gets the chop 🤔

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, England

    @MyHydeHome @SCCIAlphatrack Not even sure how that's possible there's no record anyways over the weekend we lost signal for the communal aerial it has become very weak very pixelated can pick up the Freeview HD channels

  • 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

  • M0YMJ Paul Coppin (@M0YMJ) reported from Worcester Park, England

    Freeview in Kent down at present. Anyone else have the same problem

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • IanDavidRoss1 @thebadissuecollective (@IanDavidRoss1) reported from Lambeth, England

    Freeview tv is crap again tonight ,apart from french war drama on BBC2 - The Guardians(2017) I missed the first 30min ,so will watch from the start at first opportunity,Going to check Netflix.

  • Stroudgreenguy J. Alfred Prufrock (@Stroudgreenguy) reported from Tottenham, England

    @Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.

  • LEJenksBrown L E Jenks-Brown ✏️🏺🖊 (@LEJenksBrown) reported

    Help. @Legend__Channel has disappeared from our sitting room tv (but not our bedroom tv?) and it’s pretty much all we watch at this point. We also had it on Freeview 69, not 41 as officially listed - neither of those channels even now exist on our tv. Mystified.

  • iadmcintyre Iain McIntyre (@iadmcintyre) reported

    @c4 why are your times out by an hour? I sat down to watch the Grand Prix at 11:30. Got some chat show instead. Checked online and the whole schedule on Freeview is an hour slow. At least I haven't missed the GP.

  • DTIF__ Song Sam Si (@DTIF__) reported

    @a516digital Just to add, looking for a legit service. Just want the basic freeview channels really.

  • catrinfenton Cat (@catrinfenton) reported

    @michaeligoe Freeview!! stupid Twitter!!

  • KeithCambs Keith Moss (@KeithCambs) reported

    @cleanfeed_ttvr Just need Freeview to get another one or more of their multiplexes converted to DVB-T2 to improve capacity and support more HD channels. PSB1 and PSB3 could still remain using DVB-T to provide a basic service to older devices.

  • RPluto17 RiskiestPluto17 (@RPluto17) reported

    @MillieMatters @GaryLineker Well it was useful advice. It's not my problem that you decide not to act on it. So, you're not forced to pay a licence fee. You choose to so you can watch Freeview. You have internet on your phone that you can tether to another device btw.

  • AnneCardwell4 Anne Cardwell (@AnneCardwell4) reported

    @UKtodayUK I am absolutely disgusted that for months now I've had problems with Freeview. Time it was sorted out ASAP. Trying to watch a film, on, off. Think we should get some compensation from the TV licence.

  • mag_outer OLM-OuterLimitsMag2023 (@mag_outer) reported

    @bbcburnsy sounds like the lads heads are remaining positive, even though 0-1 down. Unlike previous gamez... Come on lads you can do this. ( listening on freeview and sound cuts out occasionally).

  • SophieFul14 Sophie (@SophieFul14) reported

    @fiery_mahogal @UlsterRugby If your tv has saorview it will work on the 800 numbers. Never works on normal freeview.

  • InformedCit1zen LifeIsAScam(and thats ok) (@InformedCit1zen) reported

    @TheCryptoSniper CoT report flashing long also…any chance for a freeview update to cover this soon? Think we could be due for some nice pops in altcoins??? Feeling short term bullish myself enough to make a quick buck before down only starts again.
