  • 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.

  • JEFFREY03296741 JEFFREY PHILLIPS (@JEFFREY03296741) reported from Brentford, England

    @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?

  • 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😡

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

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

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

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

    I will never have normal freeview tv

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • little_mavis Mary Wombat 🐝💙 (@little_mavis) reported

    Right. I'm going to pretend all this **** isn't happening foe a bit. Anything good on the (Freeview) telly tonight?

  • BlueTinted_LB Legacy Fan Leftback (@BlueTinted_LB) reported

    @BoundForCFC @BlueTintedNick It's seemingly on the BT Sport website (I'm not a customer of theirs but am still watching it) but not on freeview/freesat TV

  • AndrewCLeach Andrew C Leach (@AndrewCLeach) reported

    @afneil Will you have subtitles? I watched the trailer on Freeview. No subtitles, and the signal didn't cater for them ("Feature not available with current signal"). Disappointed.

  • FredFirst1 Fred Fukovinov (@FredFirst1) reported

    FREEVIEW 701 RAINDEER GAMES OR GROTTY SQUIRREL ****

  • DarthElliot . (@DarthElliot) reported

    @Cuppa378 It’s free because they’re contractually obligated to provide it for freeview. As they were happy to show the EL final in full resolution on YouTube 3 days back, not doing the same for the CL as the more important competition is pathetic.

  • ga2493 Graham Armstrong (@ga2493) reported

    @ukfreetv are there any problems with Bilsdale at the moment? Freeview website says planned maintenance on WC 24th May but no signal at all on 31st May @ DH6 2PZ.

  • nemalki Jeff Harris (@nemalki) reported

    @breanimator Ironically, WarnerMedia is INCREASING Cartoon Network's footprint in those markets where Disney is abandoning cable/satellite/Freeview because they still believe there's still a market for them.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @SheffieldHoney @FreeviewTV Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. Can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number and we will look into this for you? Thanks, Dylan

  • UKRichpixie Richard Heading (@UKRichpixie) reported

    Dear stonk, GB news launches on the 13th of June, freeview channel 236. ****. Penguin.

  • Nintendologist Jon Bennett (@Nintendologist) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Over the past few days I’ve had to retune Freeview multiple times a day otherwise “no signal” keeps happening. Based in North Oxfordshire. Any known problems with the Oxford transmitter please?
