  @njvns That’s so shit. It’s literally called freeview and yet it’s not free

  Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported 5 minutes ago from Camberwell, 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.

  @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

  Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported 10 minutes ago 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

  Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported 13 minutes ago 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.

  @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.

  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

  Eran Edry (@EranE1980) reported 22 minutes ago 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

  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!

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

  Andy Smith (@RegenerateAndy) reported 27 minutes ago from Wandsworth, England

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

  david sinfield #pssc (@omotforest) reported 28 minutes ago 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.

• 
  Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported 30 minutes ago from Ealing, England

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

• 
  Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported 32 minutes ago from Kensington, England

  I will never have normal freeview tv

• 
  Jens Fallesen (@JensFallesen) reported 36 minutes ago 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.

• 
  A.j. Stranger #UTAG (@AStrangerJ) reported 41 minutes ago 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.

• 
  Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported 45 minutes ago 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?

• 
  Scarebear (@Scare158Steve) reported 58 minutes ago 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

  @MrAngryPantz @lauren_ash it still has bleeps and blurs but even those jokes were cut out when it aired on freeview lol

• 
  SJW (@likeitornot007) reported 12 minutes ago

  @gs_ontoast @freesat_tv Ditch freesat too many issues, aerial then try youview or freeview play, if you need satellite then freesat from Sky, freesat with 4k Arris is poor

• 
  mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported 13 minutes ago

  @a516digital Freeview reckons the issue might be my areial, no, its brand new, they then said it might be the tv, no its six months old, but when i said all the locals are having issues they didn,t know what to say.

• 
  Angus Robert Huntley (@GeordieShorts74) reported 13 minutes ago

  @InsideOutCJ whilst it’s available online and on DAB, it’s not listed on the BBC sounds app, nor is it available on the most popular brand of smart speaker or on Freeview! Given its an opt out service I do understand the logic, but could something be done to bring it to a wider audience?

• 
  Aston (@85Aston) reported 14 minutes ago

  @TheCruncher76 @theadamwade If you have an aerial you have Freeview (also handy for when it pissed down with rain)

• 
  Adrian Simpson (@Adrian_Simpson) reported 17 minutes ago

  @afneil Will GB News be subscription or is it free to view? Freeview suggests latter. Very much looking forward to having an alternative to BBC. Deeper and unbiased discussion of the issues please but without the tiresome preaching. Hope that’s you.

• 
  Paul Anderson (@PaulotfAnderson) reported 18 minutes ago

  @afneil @SimonPearson961 The fact that you have had no trouble getting to broadcast on 'Freeview, Sky, Virgin Media, YouView and Freesat, reaching over 96% of British households' tells us all we need to know, because real journalism gets blocked from the mainstream.

• 
  mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported 20 minutes ago

  @FreeviewAdvice Thats ok, what i get, is what i get, its poor reception area, and well known. My locals all have similar issues. So we only ever use freeview, if sky or freesat wont work. My brother is in your freeview lite area,

• 
  Clem Fandango (@ClemFandango66) reported 26 minutes ago

  @gullssinceaboy On my freeview box it is possible to delete channels (under the channel edit manu). A feature I will definitely being taking full advantage of once this garbage id launched.

  SJW (@likeitornot007) reported 28 minutes ago

  @freesat_tv not so smart as no All4, 4music, freesports, freezes all the time, no date on some recordings, ethernet error messages wrongly reporting, sound dissappeared. Customer service poor. Try Youview, Freeview play or freesat from Sky. Or call freesat & complain.
