  • 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?

  • 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

    @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

    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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • vjlorenzato Victoria Lorenzato (@vjlorenzato) reported from Brentford, England

    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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, 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.

  • liamdilley Liam Dilley (@liamdilley) reported

    @drmichaelhooper There used to be the freeview app to watch live tv but all the companies wanted their own apps. They started with no sign in, then facebook, then removing that to capture more.

  • thatbloke6 MrpaulT (@thatbloke6) reported

    @BBCWorld Still 3times cheaper then the bbc which you aren't allowed to leave even if you never watch bbc but have freeview you must pay.. The BBC is dead Long live the BBC It's subject's must obey

  • ahappystitcher Sally-Jane 💙💛🌻 (@ahappystitcher) reported

    @DianeHaywood71 I know. Our lounge TV doesn't work without WiFi as the internal freeview box dies ages ago and we have to use a firestick for that. It's never ending this no WiFi lark ... 🙄

  • 2_Wheeled_Wolf @2_Wheeled_Wolf 🇪🇺 (@2_Wheeled_Wolf) reported

    @JamesNonchalant the joy of recording on freeview, watch what I like, skip all the **** in the breaks & avoid all news.

  • ShaneWi86870610 Shane Williams (@ShaneWi86870610) reported

    @LBC Steve is sky channel on freeview in the uk we have to pay for it down here/Shane in Sydney 🦘🇦🇺

  • AAE49 Angie (@AAE49) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, I have not had Freeview for a a week now - no terrestrial tv at all. I have tried every day to retune - please advise what is happening and who I can report this to. I called the help number - as soon as I reported the problem the call was cut - no details taken!

  • EdwardsAndrew31 Andrew Edwards (@EdwardsAndrew31) reported

    Has anyone's tv Freeview channels went missing. A retuned my TV an lost my itv and channel 4 channels has anyone else had any problems

  • RTWRich RtwRich 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@RTWRich) reported

    @mediaguardian If I were working @Channel4 I'd be plotting a plan for entire workforce to walk out en masse, set up a new, non profit, charitable foundation trust, then obtain digital licenses for a reborn Network 4 (eg taking over the Freeview/public slot used by failing local city stations).

  • back_the_BBC Back the BBC 📺📻📡📱 (@back_the_BBC) reported

    @NightEthereal @JohnDon84246724 You can't implement a subscription service without removing universal, free to air access over radio and Freeview. So millions would lose access. The idea behind a standard charge is government can't control it

  • John_R_Cochrane John Cochrane (@John_R_Cochrane) reported

    Just asking. How come there is no 9pm news on any Freeview channel? 9pm used to be the main news of the day. The nearest that I can find is BBC "The Context". WTF? I may be getting old but why would I be interested in watching something called "The Context"?
