    @MrMalky Get tae **** !! Freeview is a wash with their content and the reason why people stump.up for NetFlix. I give it a year not personally I can't tell you the last thing I watched on ITV and BBC can **** right off !

  • Quoton Brian Campbell (@Quoton) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @Johnson66892442 @Nick_Metcalfe One thing which may help is that you can go to red button by choosing channel 981 on Sky or 301 on freeview, if you want to avoid iplayer👍

  • AngusCapitan El Capitan ⚓️ (@AngusCapitan) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @HotsnaxMihole @BreedersCup Us poor folk only have Freeview.

  • shambo1ic shambolic (@shambo1ic) reported from Bowling, Scotland

    @kentindell Tbh every time I turn on my LG it asks if I want to programme channels. I have no antenna connected. I use it for streaming and Sky so never needed freeview etc. not so smart smart Tv

  • LazyHermit 🌪 (@LazyHermit) reported from Clydebank, Scotland

    @virginmedia Been a Virgin customer for years. Cancelled Tv but have broadband and phone. Even my Freeview channels have been blocked on my boxes!! How churlish can a company get??😳 Freeview channels?! Show some compassion to your customers

  • _Ninji Ninji 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇮 B L M / 1312 (@_Ninji) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @ali_king Now I feel like I should check the 365 Travel channel on Freeview again to see if they’re still advertising cruises that never happened

  • verflucht Mr A$AP Verflucht Esq. (@verflucht) reported from Paisley, Scotland

    @SuperRetroid @jonesthescribe @MrTom Fair point. :) And in fairness, I have never had to use an internal Freeview in a telly in over 14 years. I always thought they'd use the aerial, not the leftover debris from Sky.

  • Susie61180 Susie (@Susie61180) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @virginmedia all my channels including freeview ones are giving the message 'channel not authorised' this morning, I've rebooted and still the same, any help please??

  • ben_k_99 Ben (@ben_k_99) reported from Thornliebank, Scotland

    @figuremonkey Yeah imagine having to sit through this with nothing but what's on Freeview TV. Poor souls

  • GoldCascade Stuart (@GoldCascade) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    STV on sat 103 and on Freeview showing wrestling when it shd be Tour Highlights...WTF is going on....at least Eurosport is on later. #STV #tourdefrance

  • Andysimpson74 Andrew Simpson (@Andysimpson74) reported from Alexandria, Scotland

    Anyone having problems at the minute with Freeview? The last couple of days I haven’t had any tv, it just says check your aerial antenna.

  • TravellingScot4 TravellingScotsman (@TravellingScot4) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @nowtvhelp It’s ok they’ll tell to do the exact same things I’ve done already. It’s working now but for how long. And your live chat very rarely works. Or there’s a long wait to speak to someone. When the passes are finished I’ll just cancel and stick to freeview amazon prime and Netflix

  • KTCCLawson Miss Leading Herself, Katy Lawson (@KTCCLawson) reported from Renfrew, Scotland

    TikTok's latest trend is based on Adult Swim and the channel titles or whatever and... I grew up with Freeview television. I have no idea what's going on. I'm so lost. This is nearly as bad as when I tried to watch Phineas & Ferb with people and had no idea what was happening.

  • donk0802 Mick Robinson (@donk0802) reported

    @antonyrayworth @virginmedia I pay £135 and had the same mate I waited on the phone 50min to cancel it and they don’t give a **** they said drop the sports, HD AND 3 of the MULTIROOMs and you only have to pay £89. So that’s internet and Freeview???

  • sussexterrier Kevin Beaumont (@sussexterrier) reported

    Tried to watch "Putin - the road to War" on PBS America and PBS America + 1 - 84/87 on freeview. Unwatchable owing to "interference". Never any problems with this channel previously. I wonder....

  • Stiggylou Sam (@Stiggylou) reported

    High tide and lost all my freeview channels. I probably need to get a fixed aerial at some point. First World problems.

  • Happytoberight Need to Know (@Happytoberight) reported

    @canadiancarol1 Returned your freeview tv and watch @talkTV channel 237 starting 25th April. @GBNEWS will have to rethink its crap news. As for the rest don't watch them either.

  • rxtv_info RXTV Info (@rxtv_info) reported

    And soon BT will be getting in on the IPTV act. It doesn't yet have a mini-box, but its YouView TV service - currently a hybrid of Freeview terrestrial & online-delivered channels is also moving towards all-IP delivery.

  • mar17014531 Amad09 🇺🇦🇪🇺💚🌍🌳🚲 (@mar17014531) reported

    @Centuries_Sound @scottygb I always wonder why on earth the BBC doesn't use one or more of the Freeview channels to broadcast programs from its archive. There are hundreds of wonderful old shows that never get seen. Wasted opportunity 🙁

  • hygienistdirect ShaunyF1Mcl🧡 (@hygienistdirect) reported

    @buckstack4 I just do freeview, prime and NOW I cancel NOW during the closed season. F1 is the only sport I watch and at £25 pm it is an affordable way to watch the racing (very nearly) live

  • LaurenceBraith1 Laurence Braithwaite (@LaurenceBraith1) reported

    Anyone else finding that their #Freeview signal has substantially weakened 🤔 Found recently that terrestrial channels are inexplicably disappearing from our smart TV. Not sure if they've weakened the signal to save energy. We're in South Birmingham.
