  • 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

  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

  • Beige29 Beige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    @loudouglas75 I have such shit freeview I only have itv2+1

  • 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

  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

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

  • Beige29 Dark_Beige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    @Disco_Squirrel I’ve got the shitty EE freeview box and it’s one of the apps on there, but never used

  • budgie Lee 'Budgie' Barnett (@budgie) reported from Richmond, England

    @DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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😡

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

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

  • 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

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

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

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

  • Marmalord Marmalord (the) (@Marmalord) reported from Epsom and Ewell District, England

    @itvhub Humax FVP-4000T 1TB Freeview Set Top Box Recorder, and having to sign in more or less every time is making us all dislike Martin Freeman

  • SomhairleMM Somhairle Buidhe (@SomhairleMM) reported

    @oshaymoishe1 @alwaysresister 2 1/2, now you remind me - still have an old analogue portable with Freeview set-top box in case of emergency! Also 3 laptops, though that's not half as swanky as it might sound ;-) 1 work, 1 old & this one an embarrassingly bad waste of money... :-/

  • ttandfinn Thru Thick & Finn (@ttandfinn) reported

    @somefinnspecial So I've checked out Sky Arts in the UK. If u are a Sky customer you can download or watch back the CH doc. Keep your eyes peeled for a repeat on freeview. Certainly nothing I can see in next 7 days 🧐

  • AdeBamber Ade Bamber (@AdeBamber) reported

    @ITV when will all itv go to hd for freeview or itv hub customers its 2021 time to scrap sd sure people wouldn't turn to streaming as much if you need netflix prime and disney don't seem to have a problem with it hd standard and uhd

  • ROBERT12772279 ROBERT GRIFFITHS (@ROBERT12772279) reported

    @freeview no signal Sutton Coldfield transmitter

  • MarkAPD43 Mark (@MarkAPD43) reported

    @SamuelJJack2 Food Network is the only decent channel on Freeview, what happened to Diners, Drive-ins and Dives?

  • DOPreston Duke of Preston🇬🇧🇲🇹🇸🇲🇨🇭🇷🇴🇮🇪 (@DOPreston) reported

    @derrickca @virginmedia I don’t have either. I Just have the streaming sites and Freeview and Broadband provided separately. They don’t care about your custom. If they did they’d resolve the problems that have been ongoing for 15 years!

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @LeafNWS @a516digital I know what leaf network is getting at, like what I found out about getting ip. Yes you can get freeview play etc, but it's not free after paying an ISP.! It's like getting channel box, it's free, once you pay your ISP.

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @FreeviewTV @JimIrvineUK Following is email to sky news:Like hundreds in Swindon and others in UK at 2130 we lost freeview signal  we just are left with screen saying no signal there is no news or update with freeview  I attempted to retune and programs break up till you get no signal messege.

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @FreeviewTV @JimIrvineUK It's late I shall protest to my mp and find out if there is a regulater. In meantime I shall collect newspaper emails and inform them how unreliable and what a terrible service you offer. I'm amazed how people advertise on freeview they need to know many can't see their adverts

  • peaceprone ~🔱∆t //ØçÑ🕊️ (@peaceprone) reported

    @FrancesCook Forcing the culture clash will be entertaining in itself. I think the issue is that tv is a dead dog, and video content providers can focus on just that, producing content. But free www, not freeview
