  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

    @bt_uk I got a problem it's not my fault and it's not BT issue I lost a lot of Freeview channels in my flat I went to no cancel and said you can have a dish because aerials are very bad in your area where you live we've had a lot of people coming to us about the same problem

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • 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

    @gary8man she gets Al Jazeera on freeview telly. firestick wouldn't help her, she's not on the interweb & has no intention of starting now....

  • UKTVPlayHelp UKTV Play Help (@UKTVPlayHelp) reported

    @Petramid @UKTVPlay Hey Christine, we've been unable to replicate this issue on our end. Please could you try unplugging your tv/freeview for 10 minutes to allow for the cache to clear and try again. Let us know if this resolves your issues.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @getback39 All the updates we have are available on the Freeview website. I'm not aware of any issues that would happen in winter due to it being a temporary transmitter. Anne

  • ParmaleeWes WesParmalee (@ParmaleeWes) reported

    @TheDoctor2058 @arqiva My experience is that they never ever respond to people here...but perhaps they will DM you. I'd suggest calling the Freeview number for advice if you dint hear back over the weekend. Hope that helps.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @CarlyleRob @Notts_TV Hi Rob, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception, so we can look into this further can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number?

  • sw1a0aa Gareth Milner (@sw1a0aa) reported

    @JustSteve68 Online service I’m afraid, not watched much Freeview/Sky over past few years unless I’m staying at my dads

  • juliancrittall Julian Crittall #FBPE 🇪🇺 (@juliancrittall) reported

    @Afanasiew Being in my fifties basically any freeview daytime advert. Life insurance, retirement homes, stairlifts etc. The worst of the lot is the life insurance wrongly delivered post (again) ad with 'June from next door'.

  • LunaForeverr Luna. 💙🌙 (@LunaForeverr) reported

    @Sylvie_124 I had a TV similar to this but in black, never watched VHS tapes since I was born as DVDs were replacing VHS, but I remember watching cartoons on DVD and on Freeview channels on bunny ears aerial before they got phased out too

  • RobGooders Gooders (@RobGooders) reported

    In the interests of fairness, I should say that as disappointing as BT's service was yesterday, it got better today. I'm back online & have some subscription channels but none of the freeview ones as there's no aerial here and they use a sub-contractor to do that, currently AWOL

  • teweybear Sharon Tew (@teweybear) reported

    Any tv tech savvy bids on here? Parents tv is badly pixelating channels through digi-box but fine through Freeview. Replaced box and leads and tried a signal blocking filter with no success. Any ideas? #bt #techsupport
