    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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • CAJBuckland Charles Buckland (@CAJBuckland) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I was watching Challenge TV on Thursday evening on my TV with built-in Freeview. When I went to watch the same channel yesterday, a message “service is not running” appeared. Why has it been withdrawn without notice?

  • moragfulton Mammyyes A'Woke' ♿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@moragfulton) reported

    I have a problem, its a good problem. After my tv died I was lucky enough to be given a new one (by someone very special) so trying to set it up. Its working great apart from one thing....I can watch anything on Samsung tv plus but its not giving me normal freeview. Help?

  • toastman . (@toastman) reported

    @ScotlandNT **** off indefinitely until these are regularly on freeview.

  • welshworrier **** Shiner (@welshworrier) reported

    @SaucySeventies You should also check out his contributions to the "how to get undressed" movie from 1965. Currently on the encore service with the Talking Pictures Freeview channel.

  • phil_creighton Phil Creighton (@phil_creighton) reported

    @Page_888 @russty_russ When there's a cheaper alterative for a quarter of the price, and there's a cost of living crisis - it's an easy cutback. If I was Radio Times King, I'd make print edition Freeview channels only and try and get price down to £2. Would mean a lot of changes to get there.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @kroylance1955 Hi Alice, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • christie_rudd Chris/Christie/Chrissy❤️ (@christie_rudd) reported

    @LauraRebeccaa @tvshows_addict1 @KCoubrough17 I'm watching it all again to get proper sense on seasons I haven't been able to see. Season 16&17 are on Freeview with ads but too many and then season 23 I found on Hulu got rid of that app because it was stupid amounts of ads every 2 seconds

  • SPQPR1 Steve patrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@SPQPR1) reported

    @Miles28x No. Its a **** way to record. Pay a little extra for freeview box and it's like recording on sky box.

  • wurzel260654 Sarah , Lucy,Nella and Wurzel . (@wurzel260654) reported

    @Stephen87495131 @SkyNews They will. So pay tv needs to go Nothing wrong with freeview. Don't buy or take contracts out on the dearest ipads. The Government help for utilities should have been means tested and increased. 100% increase is unaffordable. Food prices are rising especially essential foods.

  • LouiseRawAuthor Dr Louise Raw (@LouiseRawAuthor) reported

    Part 2 of #TheLabourFiles now! Freeview 235 Al Jazeera. It’s painful watching footage of @jeremycorbyn being bullied & mobbed again. But @andrewfeinstein is great, condemning REAL,vile antisemitism & showing the dishonesty of labelling mere support for Palestinians as that.
