    @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

  • 1FatKev Kevin Killoran (@1FatKev) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia really poor show all TV channels drop out just as the snooker semifinal is about to finish #freeview why not.

    @MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.

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

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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

  • 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 😂

  • 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

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

  • 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.

  • LexFuturus LexFuturus (@LexFuturus) reported from Longfield, England

    Terrible streaming quality via YouTube! @btsport should have made it freeview #UCLfinal

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    Time for the BBC to close down the BBCNews channel as they always seem to put it on BBC1 at same time WHY as BBCNews is available on sky freesat and freeview you dont need it on BBC1

  • maisiethetortie Maisie the Tortie / Margaret- NHS stay home 💙 (@maisiethetortie) reported

    @yvonnemurphy53 Never had Sky just make do with Freeview and Netflix that’s an awful lot to be paying!

  • NNickcot Nick Cotterill (@NNickcot) reported

    @Sotlive No, on freeview there are hundreds of channels for people to pick. If they subscribe to a TV service, even more. It's not like people didn't have a choice to watch it or turn over.

  • jamespdrury James Drury (@jamespdrury) reported

    @hmd_db @TraceyRBurns @michaeljswalker Can you not read? Having no internet is not a barrier to choice, nothing poor about it... No, I don’t mind, it’s their editorial choice and if I didn’t want to watch I could watch something else (I did, on Freeview, not streamed) have a fine evening, not watching the BBC ;)

  • FNeedeth Fred Needeth (@FNeedeth) reported

    @Jake_Kanter @OwenJones84 Wow, I feel for people like you who can't afford cable, imagine just having channel 1,2,3,4 and 5. Did you know if you buy a digital ariel, freeview box or smart tv you can get loads of channels for free, might help with that pesky wall to wall coverage and give you an option?

  • OmieAKA Omie (@OmieAKA) reported

    @BrixtonBobbyBob @mandapen Yes. Channel 4 or any of the other Freeview channels people never bother watching. Yes , it sucks that favourite shows were cancelled for the night but folk who say there was nothing else on TV are employing hyperbole.

  • ShowerAbsolute Absolute Shower (Will) (@ShowerAbsolute) reported

    @olibradley @DAaronovitch @stephenpollard Except Channel 4, all the Freeview stations and every on demand service yes, and plenty of commercial radio stations.

  • ChrisJA15486090 Chris - Cymry & European! #FBPPR (@ChrisJA15486090) reported

    @SteelDalek1 And then close down BBC4 to stop you watching that instead! Have they forgotten most people have Freeview, Sky or Virgin to find other programmes on???

  • Porky12280110 Porky (@Porky12280110) reported

    @JamesMills1984 @DuncanWeldon Come on James Mills haven't you heard of Freeview. ? Also I used to visit people who were apparently poor on social security benefit but they could still afford Sky subscription?

  • russeaside1053 russell (@russeaside1053) reported

    @FreeviewTV still problems Hu19 area east Yorkshire no bbc channels on Freeview..says weak signal on tv but only on bbc channels??

  • KKMUFC2020 Kyri (@KKMUFC2020) reported

    @Wheely73 @bendirs1 Of course...if you have sky or wherever. I read somewhere that the majority of homes in UK don’t even have freeview, never mind sky/cable. What about those folks?
