  • 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

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

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

  • 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😡

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • jon_2096 JP (@jon_2096) reported

    @petercrouch BBC1 is HD on Freeview, which is free, and it's also the first channel. Sky is the problem, not BBC!

  • d2leeds JT (@d2leeds) reported from Threlkeld, England

    @AlStewartOBE @GBNEWS Shame I missed your broadcast. Sadly I’m not at home and the Airbnb tv doesn’t have freeview. Internet also too poor to stream.

  • StartledJesus Startled Jesus (@StartledJesus) reported

    @ukdtt I won't have any channels left shortly. Now down to 120+ from 140+ #freeview (oldish LG Smart TV)

  • Black81855312 Black (@Black81855312) reported

    @PeterTatchell Talk sense man Last time I checked I had over 100 channels on Freeview , quite sure the majority of these never showed anything of today's proceedings

  • Eclectic_otter This year, give her English muffins (@Eclectic_otter) reported

    Watching the Scotland vs Ukraine game I’d forgotten how terrible SD freeview looks. #FirstWorldProblems

  • dozecat007 Boris D'Burger-Zilla (@dozecat007) reported

    Abolish TV Tax, that's £10 per month into poor peoples' hands and there is plenty on Freeview. No excuse for Today and Sport presenters being made BBC millionairres #bbcaq

  • LaurenHaigh96 Lauren Haigh (@LaurenHaigh96) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Freeview on my TV has not been working properly since start of 2022. Constant buffering etc on BBC, itv, all4, YouTube etc (some channels don't work at all) but works fine on normal channels/ xbox app on same tv. Tried following support on webiste (retuning etc).

  • McHaggis69 McHaggis69 (@McHaggis69) reported

    @tweethue Hi Setup is Nvidia Shield and manhattan freeview connected to sync box HDMI 1 and 2. Sync box to Samsung q950a soundbar Soundbar to TV on ARC hdmi Problem - when I turn on the TV then the Shield or the manhattan, the syncbox states ‘no signal detected’.

  • DagmarTrewin Emma Luise (@DagmarTrewin) reported

    Meaning, the ABC as a TV station, is just NOT THERE! It's disappeared and pisaddeared! I've wasted hours mucking about with my projector, my Topfield Freeview, my computer, searching for my username & password. I hate this ****!
