    @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

  • 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

  • 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??

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • mashcore4mums fooly (@mashcore4mums) reported

    @xandypty AWS Elemental. We had a rackmount box at uni that was dedicated to sending a feed to AWS. We'd do a Degree Show broadcast which would go out on a web page hosted on AWS as well as Freeview DVB-T on a signal that only went as far as the Greenwich peninsula.

  • cake_and_ate_it CAD monkey (@cake_and_ate_it) reported

    @Wulf_Helm Probably on one of those channels well down the list on freeview...

  • TheAngelaKnight Angela Knight (@TheAngelaKnight) reported

    @AdamDraper So true. I discovered recently that home VR headsets have been available since 2016, and a survey some time ago provided my first knowledge of them. Up until then I have never seen them advertised on Freeview channels, in free newspapers, or out and about. Conclusion: they're...

    @Gina09768111 @BorisJohnson @euronews Will check if #Euronews is on freeview. Because right now EU in much much worse state than us poor people, they have no vaxes , nor are ppl going to get them. Holland in lockdown, France health system buckling, ditto Germany Hungary, Italy, et al!

  • MarxMedia Mark Blacklock 💙 #JoinAUnion (@MarxMedia) reported

    @tvchrisstewart Yep, it's exploiting the sick to charge £7.90/hr for Freeview on very poor equipment. But don't blame Tories, blame New Labour. TV sets came in 2000 as part of PFI commitment to give all patients access to TV, as long as they paid. Patient power, they called it. Blair's a ****.

  • Scoutdwriter Scout Dawson (@Scoutdwriter) reported

    @TimHoelscherX They likely mean cable or network TV, which when you think about it, is accurate. I don't watch TV (I don't have Freeview set up, nor do I have Sky, TiVO or Virgin Cable etc) but I do have Netflix/Prime, which are websites/apps.

  • slipperboots SlipperBoots (@slipperboots) reported

    @cromers It’s been so poor that I’ve watched stuff on DVD & iPlayer as well as replays on freeview channels over the festive period. Not to mention audiobooks and podcasts.

  • debbie_perry Debbie Perry (@debbie_perry) reported from Snettisham, England

    @FreeviewTV @FreeviewAdvice I have a new Amazon fire stick tv. Can I get Freeview. I would like to get the menu so I can see what is live on tv (not just My5). Can you help please. I have iPlayer and it hub but don’t want to go into lots of apps

  • MarxMedia Mark Blacklock 💙 #JoinAUnion (@MarxMedia) reported

    @RosStewart1 I agree. The equipment is so old I'm surprised it can still carry a signal, so the initial costs must have been recovered by now. What they're doing is selling Freeview.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    Of course the weather has changed and with it the signal from Freeview's temporary mast has yet again changed. Went from all the BBC channels and 6 other channels (no ITV/C4), Then as the warmer weather moved northwards we lost all the BBC channels and after a retune got the 6
