  • 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 😂

  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @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

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

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

  • uptownclub Franky uptownclub (@uptownclub) reported from Harlow, England

    @Virgin how do I go about leaving Virgin because I'm paying roughly £63.50 a month for a phone that I never use only to ring you up when there's a problem.. most of my viewing is on Freeview now and I have Amazon HD fire stick and Netflix account

  • 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.

  • 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

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

    @vanessaazahar i never watch BBC or ITV and I dont have the patience to watch a film .... on Freeview tho I have been wading my way thru Lovejoy again !

  • grahamm30392424 graham montgomery (@grahamm30392424) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @praburamswamy So does this tv have built in Freeview digital via RF so you can watch it if you cancel subscription

  • SamAHarvey Sam Harvey (@SamAHarvey) reported

    @pjgoodman @HammerGothic Have still never seen it 🤦🏻 Don’t have Freeview so can’t join in 😭

  • EddieRobson Eddie Robson (1969 Glyn Johns Mix) (@EddieRobson) reported

    @prkirkley We never get those here! Not sure why but we only get about 90% of Freeview on our transmitter, so there are a few channels we don't get (CBeebies HD and Freesports too). Maybe they're also the most likely to go down elsewhere?

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    The sat backup combines Freeview multiplex BBC-A and BBC-B, without the full selection of BBC English Regions, so relays that fall back on satback may offer 'the wrong local news' until normal service returns. It's also very popular in Spain for reasons I won't go in to here...

  • Pogit Richard Adams (@Pogit) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’m asking if its coming to Freeview Play, why would Sky know that? The BBC have said it’s coming to internet connected TV services (including Sky Glass). Freeview Play is an internet connected TV service it not? One not limited by manufacturer unlike Sky’s service.

  • SkyNews Sky News (@SkyNews) reported

    London's mayor Sadiq Khan wants the city to be net zero by 2030. So are cities part of the solution to climate change? Our guests @JenIrisAllan and @mohadow will be debating this on tonight's #DailyClimateShow. 🕡 6:30pm 📺 Sky 501/Freeview 233

    @TherealNihal @hayleycampbell @scottygb Coming soon to Teesside a 5V signal that allows you to actually watch TV via #Freeview, learnt a new phrase today I'm a "Notspot", an area where no signal with temporary measures in place until original mast sorted.....NEW YEAR? WHO KNOWS NOONE SEEMS TO GIVE A........

  • JustineClaire65 Justine Carroll 🇬🇧 (@JustineClaire65) reported

    @Murphofrompres1 @GBNEWS I see. I haven't changed the way I watch @GBNews though. We have aerial issues and don't get good reception on freeview. I may try again now though as that was at the start.

  • simplicitymvl Mariska (@simplicitymvl) reported

    @darrengrimes_ We had freeview outage the last few days. What a bliss….
