  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

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

    I will never have normal freeview 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

  • 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😡

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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?

  • 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!

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

    @JamesMelville Life is like Freeview TV, they make it so **** that you don't want it anymore.

  • TweetsinEpping Terry🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇦🌻 (@TweetsinEpping) reported

    @MaxSkyNews @BBCNews My 10:30pm chocolate cold milk drink with the papers... I've moved already. Sky News app in 720p HD I reckon better than the SD freeview / freesat offerings.... Don't know what the BBC are up to by Mrs Angry from Tunbridge Wells won't be giving them anymore trouble one guess.

  • AndyWoodturner Andy Coates (@AndyWoodturner) reported from Mutford, England

    @DenisiousP @ITV I've got (or have access to) most other methods...the TV has freeview, or whatever it's called now, prime, disney, paramount, netflix Etc., and I have a google stick thing I never use...and I only needed the itv one for one thing. Won't use it again. But thank you :)

  • DJGaryBaldy DJGaryBaldy (@DJGaryBaldy) reported

    Now I have a huge gap in the bedroom I think I'm going to invest in a chest of drawers and a new android TV I don't currently have a TV in the bedroom getting a Freeview signal in the bedroom may be an issue the Arial socket is at least 15 metres from the bedroom

  • ArmchairRN Type45 (@ArmchairRN) reported

    @theAliceRoberts @BBCTwo @JohnnyFlynnHQ I’ve been watching a previous series on a freeview channel. One of the episodes featured an Anglo Saxon cemetery, and three of the skeletons had been laid out on tables. One of them showed battle damage to the bones, where a sword had sliced part of the shoulder, hip and knee.

  • Enefes3 Enefes (@Enefes3) reported

    @markthehibby I can't even see any TV, let alone weather. Flipping Freeview is down. At least I have Smart TV.

  • gz4216 SevenDaysToNoon (@gz4216) reported

    @Josneat @FreeviewAdvice I’m betting it’s the usual high pressure issue. When I lose my Freeview I use a link I’ve got saved to a high pressure map. If it’s high. That’s the reason it’s down. No point in contacting Freeview “support” as they are about as much use as a chocolate ashtray on a motorcycle!

  • blue2boot blue2boot (@blue2boot) reported

    @archivetvmus71 Another programme I never watched in the 70s but I like now on Freeview. I like seeing the old cars, offices and street scenes.

  • okiamfabioneto F1unds🇦🇴🇫🇷 (@okiamfabioneto) reported

    @Myaa_silvss And to make it worst I’m forced to watch ****** Freeview tv because they don’t have smart tv’s in a room that can cost you £1000

  • m_rrandom MRrandomGAMES (@m_rrandom) reported
