  • 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 😂

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @GBNEWS @Nanaakua1 Excellent. I nipped over to Freeview 236 yesterday & sure enough, I had to re-tune the telly! Once I'd done that I could see the GB News test signal screen ready & waiting. 👍

  • Co1Mary Mary Cook (@Co1Mary) reported

    @TruthOls @Reuters CNN is not available on Freeview TV, I don't pay for a subscription service and I don't watch news online.

  • beezly Andrew Beresford (@beezly) reported

    Anyone else getting weird audio problems with @BBCLookNorth on BBC1 Freeview from Emley Moor transmitter?

  • junwinator Junwinator (@junwinator) reported

    @LGUKCare Bought a 2020 LG TV a few weeks ago and I've just realised that Freeview Play and All4 apps are missing and cannot be downloaded. Can you help me to rectify this? Is a software update required?

  • Carriedenne1 CarrieD (@Carriedenne1) reported

    @GBNEWS @thecoastguy No doubt a stupid question but do you have to have a Freeview TV & if you don't what is the device I need to get?

  • stuart52club Stuart 52% (@stuart52club) reported

    @GBNEWS @JoeBlog21 Help. I can't get all the Freeview channels so have to relay on Freesat. When will you guys come to Freesat?

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

    That's relevant to viewers who have compatibility issues with these channels. HbbTV is mandated for all Freeview Play devices, whereas MHEG is now hit-and-miss.

  • Nixed81 Nicholas O (@Nixed81) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice My freeview reception has been playing up last night and this morning. It seems to be okay now but yeah its been a bit up and down in Milton Keynes.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Last time I contacted freeview about the issues, the lady suggested I buy a new scart lead, or my tvs the wrong type.

  • heathermcwhinn2 heathermcwhinnie (@heathermcwhinn2) reported

    Does anyone know how a smart tv works with freeview but without broadband? My broadband isn't up and running yet but cant even get a basic tv programme. Help?
