    @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.

  • 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

  • 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.

    @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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • GeneHunt81 GeneHunt81 (@GeneHunt81) reported

    Because the board treat us like consumers we should think of the club the same way. As consumers we are paying the price of the full sky package but we're getting the freeview channels. Rodgers is merely the repair man here to fix signal issues. We'll still get freeview once gone

  • Whereistherider Sagas from the Sea 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ✝️ 🍺 (@Whereistherider) reported

    @yhdistyminen Hi, Roman historian here, uhm actually HBO was only for the Equites class, and Freeview was patchy (at best) in Germania and Hispania. I suggest you read a book and educate yourself. Glad I could help 👍

  • anon_opin Anon Opin. (@anon_opin) reported

    BBC Four shouldn't be on Freeview channel 9. That's a stupid number, more deserving of one of those crappy ITV stations. BBC Four should be on a proper number, like 12.

  • eastcoaststoat Ian Gray (@eastcoaststoat) reported

    @Janela_X Thinks it's moved the Ariel for Freeview so no signal

  • EnsignCheckov Dean Rowell (@EnsignCheckov) reported

    @janemerrow On Channel 42 on Freeview. b&w Season of 'The Avengers' starring Emma Peel.Some of these episodes I've never seen before. Reflecting the zany spirit of the mid-60s. A ventriloquist dummy that was a little scary? Perhaps some episodes were filtered out before a re-run?

  • LDHMarketing LDH Marketing (@LDHMarketing) reported

    @ofcom @bbc @10DowningStreet If Freeview is switched off in favour of Freely (which is good in some contexts) on a day like today when there is a major outage you could be at home with no broadband, now no landline AND no TV. So no idea what is going on. Is that sensible? No.

  • ShubhdeepSing12 Shubhdeep Singh (@ShubhdeepSing12) reported

    @karpathy This is one of the reasons why I wanted to keep freeview through antenna in my home. It offers all the new tele so I have to be a lot less intentional in wanting to watch something. This is how this stupid box was supposed to be. Now it's about chasing series and reruns.

  • LDHMarketing LDH Marketing (@LDHMarketing) reported

    @ofcom If your broadband goes down report it with your mobile. If, like Vodaphone, both go down, use your landline. No. That's on broadband too. Oh well, watch Freeview ... no that's going soon with Freely. Can you see why moving to 100% broadband delivery is not a good idea?

  • DavidLongbenton David Alexander (@DavidLongbenton) reported

    @irisfurnham @Jenny_1884 There'd still be freeview....==loads of other channels. People only using "Freeview" have to pay the BBC to watch "free" channels even if they never watch BBC, the system is corrupt.

  • EastLight Ollie (@EastLight) reported

    @GBNEWS - "Going subscription would result in those without internet losing access." ❌ INCORRECT - Freeview supports securely encrypted Pay TV. Every Freeview TV has a card slot (CI) on the rear for a viewing card. It was previously used in UK by "TopUp TV", without any problems. (3of4)
