    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.

  • 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

  • M0YMJ Paul Coppin (@M0YMJ) reported from Worcester Park, England

    Freeview in Kent down at present. Anyone else have the same problem

    @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

    All those **** channels on Freeview and it's BBC News HD that gets the chop 🤔

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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?

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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.

  • 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

  • u0421793 Ian K Tindale (@u0421793) reported from East Ham, England

    The Good, the Bad and The Ugly is just starting now on Paramount network freeview 32

  • 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.

  • 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

  • biggerdeffer 🆃🅷🅴 🅵🆄🅽🅺🅸🅴🆂🆃 (@biggerdeffer) reported

    Hey Freeview, I don’t want to keep pressing yellow all the damn time, make it stop!

  • empire24453 EmpireKicking (@empire24453) reported

    @arqiva Around Saltburn location and not receiving any Freeview TV signals, Is it down again..? Bilsdale temporary tower would be the nearest. It's been 48 hours since down.

  • BRFC_Bigchris Tackleberry (@BRFC_Bigchris) reported

    @yorkshirebegley As they're putting their prices up they are in breach of contract, you can cancel or renegotiate. I like their service Phil, I'm on 100Mb BB, realistically get 75% of that at peak times. I just want to ditch the TV service off for freeview.

  • fab_seventies James (@fab_seventies) reported

    @SeanduineLeo I'm always experiencing issues with the freeview channels from that same transmitter.

  • smurph25 Jamie Murphy (@smurph25) reported

    @bbcthree Maybe should've added a [*] on Freeview HD number, as it is not available in Wales (part time S4C HD service) and Scotland (BBC Scotland HD).

  • DoctaP2 Pazzle Ron Cupboard (@DoctaP2) reported

    @simontucker1979 My parents eventually paid to have a booster aerial put in, just to try and pick up channel 4. Cost like a hundred quid and the signal was pretty patchy but it worked just about, wasn't that much longer before they started broadcasting it anyway tho I think, maybe Freeview time.

  • Dezos1984 Derek Liddle (@Dezos1984) reported

    .@ITV4 I get ITV4 through Freeview and, for a couple of days now, the signal has been very poor, with visual and audio break-up. I’ve re-tuned the TV, but this hasn’t helped. Any ideas on what is causing this?

  • wozdm38 warren myers (@wozdm38) reported

    @bbcthree @BBCiPlayer So crap you actually came back to freeview...lol

  • YHamster4 YHamster (I'm quadrupled jabbed so beat that) (@YHamster4) reported

    @bbcthree I didn't know it had gone. It is one of those Freeview channels, full of shite, that you never stop on when channel hopping.

  • HansHass2 Hans Hass (@HansHass2) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Why can't I get the Horror Bites app on Freeview? Or view the Horror channel on demand service? Cheers
