    @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

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

    @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.

    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.

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

  • 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?

  • 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.

    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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

    @AaronBastani @Nigel_Farage Talking **** about Vietnam that don't even bother testing or probably havent heard about COVID as they have no BBC on freeview.

    The service issue with some channels on our Freeview IPTV service has now been resolved. We are sorry for any inconvenience. Please reboot your Mag box to ensure the service is reactivated.

    Managed to download freeview onto my amazon firestick so, took it down, plugged it into my new TV. Hdmi port doesn't work. Brilliant. Just doomed to never get freeview. Never buying @SamsungTV ever again. No freeview. Hdmi port doesn't work

  • DanielCreminUK
    Daniel Cremin ✂️ (@DanielCreminUK) reported

    @mistylou43 News UK TV is said to be an evening time only service. My understanding is it will be on Freeview, Sky, Virgin and YouTube, etc. Free to air, but advertising based. GB News will be either 18 or 24 hours and will similarly be cross platform. Real choice is coming.

  • MaryMares81
    mary whitfield (@MaryMares81) reported from Salford, England

    @FreeviewAdvice we have lost the majority of freeview channels having retuned a few times. Used the availability checker which says channels should be available, can you help? Thanks

  • CameraTruth
    News_Camera (@CameraTruth) reported

    @bobbt2417 @NaomiLWood @Digbylj The BBC doesn't receive EU subsidy. It has made use of grants to help set up DAB radio and Digital Freeview switchover but this money (around £4m) wasn't used for programming or content. This info is quite widely available.

  • SnaggleTop
    James Smith (@SnaggleTop) reported

    @SonyUK What's wrong with the Freeview EPG data on old BRAVIA TVs? When I go to set reminder it says "This event data is invalid", this issue started on Jan 1st, please fix it.

  • little_mavis
    Mary Wombat 🐝 (@little_mavis) reported

    @miss_mcinerney The govt could have negotiated access to a Freeview channel for their beloved Oak & sidestepped at least some of the issues with internet access

    💧Jeepman🔥🚗 (@Bad_cyclist) reported

    @abc730 So ABC have renounced news in favour of divisive opinions on what people want. I’m thankful Twitter allows me to avoid the need to wade through the Freeview crap passed off as news.

    @MrSugden2 Netflix, freeview just shockingly crap.
