  • 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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😡

  • 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

  • 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.

  • ht4ecosocialism HT4Ecosocialism #Antifa #MMT #GreenNewDeal🌹💙 (@ht4ecosocialism) reported

    Of course we need left media. I’ve never understood why the @The_TUC hasn’t set up tv channel on Freeview. Why isn’t there a left DAB radio channel? Together we could fund it. Stop whining about the MSM and do something!

  • aswinbou Andrew Swinbourne (@aswinbou) reported

    @itvhub Hi, just bought a Toshiba TV for the bedroom - no aerial or other wired connection. I can't stream live TV from itvhub, either via the app, Freeview or Web browser. On the app, there is no Watch Live option, on the browser, there is an option that doesn't work

  • alan_shaefer Alan Shaefer 3.5% 💙 (@alan_shaefer) reported

    @LIAMREILLY20 @BradleyBooks Damn! I like Alec Guinness as well. Will keep an eye out for it, they tend to get repeated on a regular basis on the Freeview channels.

  • JTaylor69 Jordan Taylor 🎗️ (@JTaylor69) reported

    @hub3rt LG C9 and CX (10) are supposed to be really good in terms of price to performance. Avoid @philips_uk for the time being, we've had to reset our TV 8 times this year due to buggy software updates (Freeview apps dying, Netflix crashes, slow performance, features being removed)

  • odetodivorce Scotty. (he/him) Trans rights are human rights!! (@odetodivorce) reported

    @dalehay True. I miss bbc3 being on channel 7 on Freeview! endless Two pints of larger and a packet of crisps or Snog, Marry avoid! I hope another network goes for it next time. BBC doesn't feel right hah

  • 23CharlesP CP (@23CharlesP) reported

    @ShowcaseAlex That’s when it does come down to £. Sport isn’t freeview. We’re paying billions between us all to watch it worldwide. Who would pay the artists & the logistics of it if there were no crowd?

  • jpcrafty Wordsmith of Filth (@jpcrafty) reported

    @win_confidante I'm still watching freeview on an old analogue TV plus I'm too tight to pay for it. I've got the game of thrones dvds from my sister to watch, I don't like Tom cruise so top gun was never of much interest I've seen an iron-man & a couple of captain America's but nowt special

  • Bigt0ne Bigt0ne (@Bigt0ne) reported

    @FreeviewTV can you help? Freeview is down in CH3 5XQ? Any idea when this will be available?

  • Trinatime Katrina Harling (@Trinatime) reported

    @PanasonicUK both our panasonic freeview boxes are not connecting to the internet today, all other devices in house are fine and our internet is working, is there a problem with your servers? Error B020 failed to connect to the server keeps showing

  • benjamat10 Ask yourself❌ 🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@benjamat10) reported

    @markadayofdays Oh how very euro. Won't be watching yet again . Wake up people, cancel those licence fees . You can fully set up Freesat for less cost and get better programmes and more choice . That's Freesat, not Freeview which can have reception problems .
