  • Tommy_M_E_J Tom Jordan (@Tommy_M_E_J) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @njvns That’s so shit. It’s literally called freeview and yet it’s not free

  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

  • MartinC93414706 Martin (@MartinC93414706) reported from Lambeth, England

    @channel5_tv is the worst for catch up tv via your app or freeview. Just can’t find programmes sometimes. Trying to find Sally Lindsays posh sleepover. C4, itv and BBC never ever have a problem with. I give up with C5

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • niklasRen Nik Rahmel (@niklasRen) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @Stephen_Neal Good shout! If we just take the Freeview/Freesat ones, we get to ten, excluding the National ones: 1) BBC One 2) BBC Two 3) BBC Four 4) CBBC 5) CBeebies 6) BBC News 7) BBC Parliament 8) Dave 9) Drama 10) Yesterday But they aren’t licence fee funded, so don’t help the argument.

  • JensFallesen Jens Fallesen (@JensFallesen) reported from Hounslow, England

    @leksi_p Correct. If you do not have Freeview, Sky or Virgin (or any other cable service), you should not need to pay if you never watch it.

  • 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.

  • RegenerateAndy Andy Smith (@RegenerateAndy) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Channel ‘Pick’ on freeview. Never heard of it before but grateful for it tonight #chelsea

  • vjlorenzato Victoria Lorenzato (@vjlorenzato) reported from Brentford, England

    Catholic Twitter UK- help please! Anyone know of a Mass being broadcast on TV tomorrow ( not via internet) Lovely elderly lady has Freeview but no internet.... TIA!

  • fishinthedark1 fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, England

    @MyHydeHome @SCCIAlphatrack Not even sure how that's possible there's no record anyways over the weekend we lost signal for the communal aerial it has become very weak very pixelated can pick up the Freeview HD channels

  • nessymon Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England

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

  • 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

  • omotforest david sinfield #pssc (@omotforest) reported from West Molesey, England

    To be honest, when you've removed the dependency of other real time tv, i cant see many people chipping in. Many will be paying just to watch their subscription service or Freeview.

  • maggieinlondon Maggie - wear a mask 💙🏳️‍🌈🌱 (@maggieinlondon) reported from Wandsworth, England

    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

  • Scare158Steve Scarebear (@Scare158Steve) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @bt_uk Thanks for the help. I spoke to freeview, tried a few things which didn't work but i contacted your TV help and after doing a few basic things somehow it appears to be working now! Very Strange. Tks

  • budgie Lee 'Budgie' Barnett (@budgie) reported from Richmond, England

    @DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

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

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

  • daguvernor tommy harper (@daguvernor) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia once again trying to contact virgin media is a no go a proper waste of time contract has run out trying to cancel they have put the money up to £60 a month for basically 2 freeview boxes I have cancelled my direct debit which is due on the 7 april what a scam😡

  • 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

    @SueMARKLEY9 @bt_uk Hi Sue, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • SummerCrush10 Sam Norris (@SummerCrush10) reported

    @KeepUpWithKFabe In the UK you can pay to watch The AEW PPV's on the night or wait an extra until it goes onto the FREE Channel ITV (which you don't have to pay to watch on Freeview or Sky) but you have to pay to watch it if using their ITV Hub catch up service.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @gffcontwitch @BBCNews @FreeviewTV Hi, I am so very sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. Can you please DM Freeview Advice your full postcode and house name/number and we will look into this for you. Thank you, Melissa

  • PhilipRDavies Philip Davies (@PhilipRDavies) reported

    @LUFC_josh Yep, a couple of ITV channels down here (via Freeview from the Wenvoe transmitter near Cardiff)

  • JasonFlavell Jase 🎢 (@JasonFlavell) reported

    @timpez123 It can be, it entirely depends on your Wi-Fi, it relies on that entirely, if your wife is down the TV is pretty much defunct apart from if you have an arial in it for free view. Same applies if you cancel the sky subscription, the TV is basically a dead tv other than freeview

  • happyborg happyborg: decentralising & democratising (@happyborg) reported

    @RadioTimes Thx. Lenovo Android tablet with latest Firefox. Clicking Freeview (or other things) causes the display to flicker repeatedly very fast, and I can see the text briefly "server error" between the screens it is displaying. I'm now using the freeview website tv guide without problem

  • gareth71 Gareth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@gareth71) reported

    @WelshGasDoc @itvhub Oh yus. Dreadful. UK’s most popular soap (Corrie) not even on their front page any more. On iplayer you can start watching a prog on catchup any time after it’s started on Freeview - on ITV you have to wait until several minutes after it’s finished. And UI is *awful*.

  • Paulusdmc42 Pauly H (@Paulusdmc42) reported

    @GoobRoob What you mean gone off ? Did the Freeview signal go down 🤔was ok on sky.

  • happyborg happyborg: decentralising & democratising (@happyborg) reported

    What have you done @RadioTimes? The online TV Guide I've used for years has been broken in multiple ways. Choosing things like 'Freeview' breaks it. Lazy loading as I scroll never completes, channel numbers aren't shown. It's hard to scroll vertically without it scrolling time😵

  • OCDTrudy Grumpy Old Girl! #WearADamnMask 😷🇪🇺 (@OCDTrudy) reported

    @LemSip27 No some idiot left an item at the station so it had to be checked and it wasn't suspicious. Freeview has been having problems for months with various transmitters or relays going down throughout the UK
