    Flying ******* knee...just watching UFC 239 via the retro route. If it ain't on freeview on BT then that's not a problem, I've been watching this since '93. #masvidal is a monster

  • niksibley Nik Sibley (@niksibley) reported from Coventry, England

    Any ideas why MiL’s @HisenseUK @Roku TV sometimes puts itself onto the Freeview Play page whilst watching her Sky Q box? Even did it to me as I was navigation TV settings. Maybe TV or remote control issues? Hopefully unplugging/replugging will simply be enough to fix it…

    @LewisHamilton @SilverstoneExp That may be the case Lewis. If you really want to inspire the next generation. F1 needs to be on Freeview. It willl never happen though.

    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...

  • smogski74 Phil Parkes (@smogski74) reported

    No tv signal... this bilsdale transmitter has alot to answer for..where can I get the freeview

  • MrWheeliebin Mike Edie (@MrWheeliebin) reported

    What has happened to Film4 on FreeView? Garbage low bit rate video compression. Everything looks like Lego.

  • MsJinnifer JinnynotJenny (@MsJinnifer) reported

    @maryfordneal You don't need a box for Netflix. Freeview connection (via aerial) normally comes set up in the TV. Some TVs do Freesat instead, and they get the signal from a dish. You don't need to subscribe to anything to get Freesat or Freeview. 'Catchup' of main channels free via apps on TV

  • SamAHarvey Sam Harvey (@SamAHarvey) reported

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

  • DBD365 Paul Day (@DBD365) reported

    On Freeview 33 right now is the worst film ever made. I want to not watch it, but I can't. It sucks you in. #thehappening

  • JeremyBennett JeremyBennett (@JeremyBennett) reported

    @MartinSLewis Amazon Prime and Netflix ! I clicked Amazon Prime above, because it is included in the delivery service so is effectively "free". We don't have Sky as we cancelled that many many years ago. We use iPlayer, 4OD, ITVOD, etc quite a bit too. For terrestrial we use HD Freeview.

    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

    @greatmoviesuk I've rescanned my Freeview box and my Freeview TV, but I can't get the Christmas channel, I'm in Kent, please help as I want my Christmas movie fix!

  • 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?
