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

  • 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.

  • 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😡

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

    @JohnDalton6011 Single ppoint of failure: The week long Freeview broadcast problem is another example of an efficient supply chain also being a very fragile supply chain. #bbcr4wato

  • SteveBN1 Steven Dive CChem MRSC ● #FBPE #FBPA #FBPPR #3.5% (@SteveBN1) reported

    @JoshNeicho @NewlandsIsabel @BrianCathcart The points raised by Stefanovic are serious enough for national media to cover, not just left to a journalist alone. The BBC has a rolling news channel on Freeview that could fit in an entire programme on his points as well as many other important issues not covered elsewhere.

  • carew_deborah Deborah Carew (@carew_deborah) reported

    Hmm, mobile network, WiFi and freeview all playing up today!! Not sure if this tweet will post. 👀 Anybody else experiencing tech issues?

  • BallumOfficial Ballum Official 💙🌈💙 BALLUM ARE HUSBANDS! 💞 (@BallumOfficial) reported

    @HearingLosshour @BBCOne @bbcstrictly Oh, that's awful. Sorry to hear that. The subtitles on freeview are mostly OK.

  • DementiaFink Chris Edgerton LCGI (@DementiaFink) reported

    @FreeviewTV If individual channels have boxing or horizontal/clicking lines Is this an issue with the main received on shared input ... freeview auxiliary input

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    What start to the day, just had TV Licensing officer AGAIN at the door. I've obviously cancelled my dd for the licence as WE HAVE NO FREEVIEW SIGNAL in Teesside haven't had it for 60+ days now, so why would I pay for a service I don't receive, I don't download 1/n

  • vixxen_chyna Godde$$ Mistress Chyna Vixxen (@vixxen_chyna) reported

    Me posting a dozen of FREE content never that, I don't even update my photos frequently, I put the "Miss" in Mysterious...besides if i posted everything as a FREEview what would my customers to BUY or PAY for??

  • HiFranc Francisco (@HiFranc) reported

    @KellyQuilt Do you use Freeview/Freesat or a paid for service? If the latter, may be time to switch to the former?

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    Oh **** me @bbc5live all over whatsapp outage etc and the 'horrror'. Excuse me we haven't had even FREEVIEW since August 10th and due to come back 15th October...not a whisper
