    @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?

    @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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • UB5simon Simon Bye 🐟🔶 (@UB5simon) reported from Southall, England

  • 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

    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

  • juliancrittall Julian Crittall #FBPE 🇪🇺 (@juliancrittall) reported

    @Afanasiew Being in my fifties basically any freeview daytime advert. Life insurance, retirement homes, stairlifts etc. The worst of the lot is the life insurance wrongly delivered post (again) ad with 'June from next door'.

  • pany1galanis Panayiotis Galanis (@pany1galanis) reported

    @ChannelboxTV Hi, super excited that I can watch @HELLENICTV on Freeview Channel 271, However, when I put the channel on, it just says "Data Only" with a blanc screen. Could I please ask for your Help here? Thanks in advance for your time.

  • Mathew94379832 Mathew (@Mathew94379832) reported

    @erawneb @IanDunt I watch Netflix, Amazon, Youtube and aubscribe to some quality US on line news sources (mostly financial) (And I cut my sat dish cable also..) Freeview - yeah thats a problem..!

  • CamillaWestUK MILLIE → UK ******* | ADMIREME ♡ (@CamillaWestUK) reported

    @BendyCuteness I tried freeview on AW once for about 2 minutes. Never again!! I take my hat off to those who have it on all the time.

  • BendyCuteness Abby Addison (@BendyCuteness) reported

    I mean don’t get me wrong I definitely get more cam shows offering free preview but can get tiring with time wasters you just know ain’t going to spend money. Some of them come in freeview daily and never wanna spend like why bother doing that on AW 🙄

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @TherealNihal Think that's bad, tommorow will be 28 days since Teesside lost it's Freeview transmitter. So no sky, no TV. Weirdly got DAB but no FM apart from local radio. It's like being in the Stone age. One positive, mood change is weird, no stress better sleep, easier to get to sleep too.

  • Godnose Godnose (@Godnose) reported

    @g5pr @afneil @GBNEWS Yeah. 100%. He was the draw for me. Watched a few of Neil Oliver but he's too long winded for me. Keep meaning to track down Alex Philips via Freeview but haven't got round to it. Don't understand why Andrew Neil has gone off it. Too woke for him or what?

  • KramG4 Kram G (@KramG4) reported

    @glastonbury @BBCTwo Or better yet, flick to channel 898 on Freeview, has a classic episode of Paint Drying... doesn't feature any **** music or drugged up hippies.
