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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Haggis91569570 Northern Haggis🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Haggis91569570) reported

    @FreeviewTV Why is the freeview signal reception so terrible in north east Scotland and can we get a discount on the license fee for having to put up with your abysmal service.

  • Lois68 Lola (@Lois68) reported

    @piersmorgan @PiersUncensored I don't have 237 on my Freeview. I'm not tech savvy. Help me

  • RyanMorrisonJer Ryan Morrison (@RyanMorrisonJer) reported

    I can't get a Freeview signal (no rooftop aerial, powered indoor aerials don't work) and can't put up a satellite dish. Not paying Virgin. So trying to find a purely digital solution. None are easy or come with a simple guide/planner.

  • climate_is_ok Go Woke Go Broke (@climate_is_ok) reported

    @Bridgetpee You'll have Freeview tuner in a post 2016 tv. Plug in the satellite or terrestrial aerial and scan channels. Sometimes the Freeview settings need tweaking. Hit me up if you have problems

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @DimensionsInJen I fully agree but I also wonder if it would help if those who watched or recorded on Freeview/satellite/cable shouldn't also stream it via the iPlayer to ensure it counts. You don't need to watch again, mute the tab and let it run. That's what I'm doing to ensure my view counts.

  • WayneDLawrence1 Wayne Lawrence (@WayneDLawrence1) reported

    I've just retuned my Freeview. I have 112 channels. That'll be @TalkingPicsTV and 111 crap ones then.

  • atomicloonybin Garry Brogden (@atomicloonybin) reported

    @badmissk @366DaiChallenge I bought a telly for my pensioner sister. I went into Currys and said "doesn't have broadband, not interested in streaming or 'smart', just wants the Freeview channels". You literally can't buy such a thing. I walked out with a JVC with 90% of its functionality she'd never use.

  • lennymr2 lennymr2 (@lennymr2) reported

    @emerald88604982 @ladydebbie6 @KensingtonRoyal I would never pay for tv. Freeview has loads and getting better every day. Most things on sky Netflix prime etc end up on Freeview anyway.

  • llsorts Keryn (@llsorts) reported

    @Bridgetpee It will depend on your tv. Your tv might have Freeview installed. Find or download the tv manual for help. You might need to plug the aerial cable straight into the back of the tv and then tune the channels. Smart TVs are different again. Sing out if you need more help

  • sodslawyer sod's lawyer (@sodslawyer) reported

    @Thebubblegunman @Neverfadingwood I haven't a clue, I've never used Freeview.
