  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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.

  • u0421793 Ian K Tindale (@u0421793) reported from East Ham, England

    The Good, the Bad and The Ugly is just starting now on Paramount network freeview 32

  • 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.

  • semtexsue SemtexSue ⛄🦀🏊‍♀️🧜‍♀️💙🏳️‍🌈 (@semtexsue) reported

    @thewelshteacup Ugh. Poor you. Have you retuned your digital tvbox? New freeview channel 7, That's TV. 70s night. It's fab. Worth not sleeping for!

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @htwcentral @sgordon_the87 @cleanfeed_ttvr I would say that would be a bad idea but to be fair Sky/Comcast are doing a good job with Sky Arts and I was seriously amazed they put it on Freeview 11 and not in the waste land of the epg.

  • timrobi12026017 tim robinson (@timrobi12026017) reported

    So poor I khan only dream freeview 😳

  • dgtwatter Dot on the Landscape (or portrait if you prefer) (@dgtwatter) reported

    WTF! Anyone else lost ITV, C4 and C5 on Freeview? Just rescanned the digibox when prompted and they've ****** off (technical term). Box now defaulting to BBC3 on channel 23.

  • sgordon_the87 Ste Gordon (@sgordon_the87) reported

    @russty_russ In SD it’s on 231, but on HD it’s 107. I’m not sure how that works but there you go. RT’s HD service isn’t too far behind it on Freeview either.

  • YHamster4 YHamster (I'm quadrupled jabbed so beat that) (@YHamster4) reported

    @bbcthree I didn't know it had gone. It is one of those Freeview channels, full of shite, that you never stop on when channel hopping.

  • StevenNT Steven Jones (@StevenNT) reported

    @runrigok @ukdtt Yea as LG TV's of a certain age are Freeview Play complaint so have the HbbTV support as well

  • HansHass2 Hans Hass (@HansHass2) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Why can't I get the Horror Bites app on Freeview? Or view the Horror channel on demand service? Cheers

  • BRFC_Bigchris Tackleberry (@BRFC_Bigchris) reported

    @yorkshirebegley As they're putting their prices up they are in breach of contract, you can cancel or renegotiate. I like their service Phil, I'm on 100Mb BB, realistically get 75% of that at peak times. I just want to ditch the TV service off for freeview.

  • empire24453 EmpireKicking (@empire24453) reported

    @arqiva Around Saltburn location and not receiving any Freeview TV signals, Is it down again..? Bilsdale temporary tower would be the nearest. It's been 48 hours since down.
