    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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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?

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

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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • AbuAqilah1 Abu Aqilah (@AbuAqilah1) reported

    @weathertoy @GBNEWS Only recently found this channel on Freeview. Is this actually a serious news channel? Why can this unqualified idiot rant on challenged?

  • MsShira50 🌺 Arlene (@MsShira50) reported

    Freeview is not working across most of north Otago, according to FB. So I don’t need to climb on the roof yay.

  • skierlisa Lisa (@skierlisa) reported

    @vonnykelly @siobhni Yes I don't have sky or netflix or any of them and where I live on Freeview we can't get lots of channels like I have never seen Dave ... Anything I am keen to find I look on my laptop for missed episodes etc

  • KevPBolger Kevin TheCob Bolger (@KevPBolger) reported

    I wonder if I should lobby for a reduced BBC licence fee as I will not sign in to their apps or have their iPlayer to watch the BBC. With a compulsory licence fee I believe all their services should be available on Freeview & other platforms not Internet only offerings. .

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    UPDATE: *QVC has confirmed its HD channels are leaving Freeview, but viewers can still watch high quality streams of all its channels through the red button on channel 16. *Together is set to move onto a DTAS service on Channel 274. *Quest HD will close on June 30th.

  • FatScottie Fat Scottie 💙 (@FatScottie) reported

    @Jonesta1 @virginmedia Cheers Jo - we're already sorted! I'm just aghast at their attitude towards an elderly customer with 30 yrs unbroken loyal custom. We've got him a new Freeview TV, new aerial and he's absolutely chuffed. VM are arrogant enough to think that no one will cancel🙄

  • Jayfuz Jayfuz (🗣️Rufus, but Jay) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Jayfuz) reported

    @ClwydEnComu They're available on a digital service I didn't know existed, and when I looked it up it does to be a Freeview box for people that don't know their TV has Freeview

  • gillyjb60 gillie bryant 💙 (@gillyjb60) reported

    @paulburton73 @Forces_TV I can never get a signal on freeview so missed out on it

  • ttyEngland M (@ttyEngland) reported

    @YardleyShooting @FRANCE24 GBNews has been the salvation of broadcast news, but still hard to get in many areas already saturated by BBC coverage. (Poor DAB reception & Freeview & just not offering it on local TV transmitters).

  • IAmJamesLowe James Lowe (@IAmJamesLowe) reported

    Anybody else in #sheffield having issues with freeview reception? I have next to no channels. I’ve tried rescanning on 2 devices plugged into 2 separate antennae and it’s the same story on both.
