  • Stroudgreenguy J. Alfred Prufrock (@Stroudgreenguy) reported from Tottenham, England

    @Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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 😂

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

  • BenJohn45874515 Ben Johnson (@BenJohn45874515) reported

    Just did something I thought I'd never do. I got myself a @Freely_tv I'm shocked that so many people are having problems with it, it's quick and slick and most importantly such great picture quality. If the internet ever goes down then there is always good old Freeview.

  • westerby1 Norma (Stuckasaurus) Roberts (@westerby1) reported

    This is driving me mad, can anyone help? I've a HUMAX freeview recorder to record commercial TV so I don't have to watch all the adverts on catchup or pay not to! When it's recording something, the picture on another channel fills my TV screen (43") but when it isn't, it doesn't?

  • wpoel William Poel (@wpoel) reported

    The Freeview TV service was technically compromised when the greedy government sold its spectrum to cellphone operators. It does not work for a significant amount of time each year. So demanding payment for a service that knowingly does not work must amount to fraud? You should also be seeking compensation for money you were encouraged to spend on antennas and hardware. See com for details.

  • GavinDorris G M Dundee-Hausman (@GavinDorris) reported

    @MortalPura @ClarksonsFarm1 if it could see the 'freeview' network you would have to pay slmosy £ 200 per year

  • storey966 Tynmar (@storey966) reported

    @ClarksonsFarm1 Quite simply, it's a subscription that you pay to use your freeview service. However, unlike other paid TV services, it is still possible to access those services even if you don't pay.

  • IMTobybrown Toby Brown (@IMTobybrown) reported

    @JeremyVineOn5 The BBC is a fantastic organization. The problem with finding a future funding model is that there aren't many other ways to fund it. For example You can't do subscription because freeview and radio don't have conditional access technology on them

  • pjbryant P J Bryant (@pjbryant) reported

    @AckBig not much notice (sorry!), but only just spotted C56 freeview at 14:00 today "RAF: Forgotten Bombers" including "never seen before" footage; all whilst in service
