  • 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.

  • 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

    @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

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

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

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

  • 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.

  • DrBrowningSleep Dr Browning | Sleep Therapist (@DrBrowningSleep) reported

    I will be talking to @RobbieRinder today at 6:15pm on @TalkTV about CBT-I and the app Sleepio recommended by NICE to be used instead of sleeping pills to treat insomnia. Viewers can watch via 📺 Freeview 237, Sky 526, Virgin 627 #CBT

  • M_I_Ross Matthew Ross (@M_I_Ross) reported

    @GaymerChat Yeah, I’m going to watch Stranger Things 4 then probably cancel. I’m tempted to cancel the package altogether and rely on Freeview and assorted streaming apps on the Apple TV. Maybe I’ll make a dent in my massive pile of unread books? (Spoiler: I will not…)

  • AndrewR42912446 Andrew & Karen's Adventures @caravanning (@AndrewR42912446) reported

    @WithRobsons Freeview TV, lots of crap channels but you don't pay a subscription 👍

  • rickyblack1970 ricky black the BAM (@rickyblack1970) reported

    2 absolutely horrible teams in a scottish cup final today. Wont be watching, looking like it will be the sunderland game for me.. unless i can find something better to watch.. on a plus side though, EVERY BBC channel has disappeared from my freeview ☝

  • emilymaroak emily 🎃 (@emilymaroak) reported

    @Kaaaaatie_x my parents have never had more than freeview and we didn’t get netflix/prime until i was probably about 14 - without cbeebies/cbbc i wouldn’t have been able to watch any kids shows before that :/ such a massive part of my childhood

  • yopintar84 Painterman (@yopintar84) reported

    @pennylongstckng Can't watch mainstream TV any longer, it's just infested with woke, poisonous lies & drivel. Not good I appreciate but these days I either spend time channel hopping through Freeview or don't even bother to put the TV on. Forget Netflix etc, just the same mind controlling garbage

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @_DuncanFox_ Hi Duncan, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie 🇺🇦 (@Brekkietweets) reported

    R4 LW is probably long overdue being closed as a separate service at least. Doesn't seem to be any plan though to close the SD services on TV. Surely cutting from two muxes to one on Freeview would be a significant saving, alongside equivalent changes on satellite/cable.

  • BeebStreem Beb (@BeebStreem) reported

    @OfficialCDJ Terrible news I remember coming home each day from school to plonk on CBBC, watching both you and Ian have some proper banter. The saddest thing is, as somebody who grew up poor couldn't afford streaming services or anything other than freeview TV.

  • JohnTurner2021 John Turner (@JohnTurner2021) reported

    @DavidWhiteleyTV Freeview SD no problem. Freeview HD I get Meridian. Minor issue in the grand scheme of things though considering what's happening elsewhere in the world.
