    @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

  • fitzscrounger Benny Fitzscrounger (@fitzscrounger) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @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 !

  • 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

  • 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👍

  • 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??

  • 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

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

    @HotsnaxMihole @BreedersCup Us poor folk only have Freeview.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ChrisBagguley Chris Bagguley💙 (@ChrisBagguley) reported

    @kevinsmall9 @BBCRadioStoke Now medium wave has gone there are only Freeview DAB and FM to choose from. Suppose they are going by interest and support. Personally Freeview works for me if Stoke were on there but expect whoever's at home between Vale and Crewe will get the Freeview slot.

  • Lisa7Pettifer Lisa Pettifer 🌈 (@Lisa7Pettifer) reported

    @jonathanteacher This is what we’re finding. I’m going into a no-contract basic package for now. If I find we’re still not getting more use out of it as a service than we could just get on Freeview boxes, then I’ll just ditch them.

  • sc_timmy1180 Tim (@sc_timmy1180) reported

    @JoePalmerUK @itvhub Couldn't figure out how to do the Freeview on our new TV so on the net too. It's crap!

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @ukdtt Remember CBM? The Freeview channel that had a caption 'Coming soon to Channel 22', but never launched.

  • MrsJaneRace Jane Race 💙 (@MrsJaneRace) reported

    @zoom_96 @jeehaeda We have Sky and Freeview and haven't been to see any Olympic golf. Coverage has been awful.

  • RiaLMitchell Dr Ria Mitchell (@RiaLMitchell) reported from Sheffield, England

    Anyone else in Sheffield having Freeview problems the past day or so?

  • A16Version It may take years, but the truth will be known (@A16Version) reported

    @melissaztweets @ITV @AEW I actually understand why it was on ITV4 - in the age of freeview (I can remember TNA beating WWE in the UK as TNA was on Challenge) - but yeah, the inconsistency about the ITV4 airing, and the lie about ITV Hub being a Thursday thing has screwed AEW bad

  • lewgall Lewgall (@lewgall) reported

    Wish Premier Sports would get tae ****. How can he have Sky, BT, prime and freeview channels but still no see a game.

  • AllanLear6 Allan Lear (@AllanLear6) reported

    @Dean0076103703 @GaryLineker No, sorry, you're lying. The BBC funds two of the six multiplexes that deliver Freeview and Freesat content nationally. If you scrapped the licence fee, you'd have to fund that from somewhere else. If you don't understand the issue, it's best to reserve judgement.

  • AllanLear6 Allan Lear (@AllanLear6) reported

    @Dean0076103703 @GaryLineker Already told you. Your licence fee pays for little old ladies to get free radio. It also pays to maintain the freeview network which lots of advert-using channels piggyback on.
