Maggie - wear a mask 💙🏳️🌈🌱 (@maggieinlondon) reported from Wandsworth, EnglandWith all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.
-
Lee 'Budgie' Barnett (@budgie) reported from Richmond, England@DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

Scarebear (@Scare158Steve) reported from Wandsworth, England@bt_uk Thanks for the help. I spoke to freeview, tried a few things which didn't work but i contacted your TV help and after doing a few basic things somehow it appears to be working now! Very Strange. Tks
-
Nik Rahmel (@niklasRen) reported from Wandsworth, England@Stephen_Neal Good shout! If we just take the Freeview/Freesat ones, we get to ten, excluding the National ones: 1) BBC One 2) BBC Two 3) BBC Four 4) CBBC 5) CBeebies 6) BBC News 7) BBC Parliament 8) Dave 9) Drama 10) Yesterday But they aren’t licence fee funded, so don’t help the argument.

david sinfield #pssc (@omotforest) reported from West Molesey, EnglandTo be honest, when you've removed the dependency of other real time tv, i cant see many people chipping in. Many will be paying just to watch their subscription service or Freeview.
-
Paul Coppin (@M0YMJ) reported from Worcester Park, EnglandFreeview in Kent down at present. Anyone else have the same problem
-
Simon Bye 🐟🔶 (@UB5simon) reported from Southall, EnglandAll those **** channels on Freeview and it's BBC News HD that gets the chop 🤔
-
John Ellis (@ProfJohnEllis) reported from Egham, England@MariaMichalis @All4 C4 is in talks to join Britbox... and you get surveillance on any streaming service, even ad funded. That’s how they can target the ads and tell you where your nearest car dealership is (new in All4). Only Freeview lets you keep anonymity
-
tommy harper (@daguvernor) reported from Wandsworth, England@virginmedia once again trying to contact virgin media is a no go a proper waste of time contract has run out trying to cancel they have put the money up to £60 a month for basically 2 freeview boxes I have cancelled my direct debit which is due on the 7 april what a scam😡
-
JEFFREY PHILLIPS (@JEFFREY03296741) reported from Brentford, England@TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?
-
Jens Fallesen (@JensFallesen) reported from Hounslow, England@leksi_p Correct. If you do not have Freeview, Sky or Virgin (or any other cable service), you should not need to pay if you never watch it.
-
Dark_Beige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England@Disco_Squirrel I’ve got the shitty EE freeview box and it’s one of the apps on there, but never used
-
fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England@PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.
-
Victoria Lorenzato (@vjlorenzato) reported from Brentford, EnglandCatholic Twitter UK- help please! Anyone know of a Mass being broadcast on TV tomorrow ( not via internet) Lovely elderly lady has Freeview but no internet.... TIA!

Beige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England@loudouglas75 I have such shit freeview I only have itv2+1
-
Andy Smith (@RegenerateAndy) reported from Wandsworth, EnglandChannel ‘Pick’ on freeview. Never heard of it before but grateful for it tonight #chelsea
-
Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England@stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.
-
DarkBeige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, EnglandNow I have the truly truly shit @EE freeview package (literally the worst selection of channels on earth but boy is it cheap broadband) I only watch the main 5 channels or SVOD. W, Dave, ITV2 etc are dead to me
-
Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from Wandsworth, England@LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍
-
Tom Jordan (@Tommy_M_E_J) reported from Hammersmith, England@njvns That’s so shit. It’s literally called freeview and yet it’s not free
Freeview Issues Reports

-
Stephen Neal (@Stephen_Neal) reported@UHD4k @Bobbinz @SVGEurope Afraid although I work for BBC Studios (which makes shows for the BBC) I have no insight into what iPlayer may support in the future. AAC was chosen for Freeview HD because Dolby had no equivalent receiver-mix audio desc'n support in 2009ish when the platform was standardised.
-
Squirrell13 (@GracenMagz) reported@OlooneyJohn Our freeview doesnt even work. Can never get all the channels, they seem to go missing and the signal often drops out.
-
BENEFITS NEWS (@BENEFITS_NEWS) reported@aconda_ann I am quite old fashioned as well. I did get a bargain smallish 'internet / smart' TV but no use when freezes or internet cuts off (been happening for years, with no fix). It's on a terrible indoor aerial, so I can't get most Freeview on that one but my fave usual telly: Freeview.

Richard Bartlett (@BartyMcBartface) reported@BBCMaryam I have soap on my feet after the below, sorry to rant, but it is in you and your great cultural contribution’s favour. The BBC is welcomed into our homes like family. ✅ Fraud is being committed by those taking the moving pictures content (and perhaps again soon, for radio usage), and the modern trend seems to be the plinth upon which people excuse themselves. ❌ I rather think, given the will to sell off the radio spectrum, that the licence levy belongs as a fiver per month on fixed and mobile internet devices, including roaming connectivity by arrivals as the product of inbound tourism. (Estimate this would bring in £6bn, which could fund BBC as-was and opt-in Internet experience safety by a low level path extension through a Bitesize style category block service and bureaucracy.) But back to the family analogy, the BBC is the auntie who visits us in our homes, and yet we never tire of her, and we are never relived when she nods off for the night by the hearth. The govt before this one knee-capped the fundamentals, and all that effort of retailers recording home addresses when receiver-capable equipment was bought. The elephant in the room being that a subscription service would require encryption, and next to nothing on FreeView or FreeSat considers that, apart from adult channels with hacks to the way the digital services are scraped from the multiplexes. MP Ms Nandy said she had ideas to ensure the BBC future and that tax eroding parties would never be able to ruin our most dignified and amazing project. I write this to you, Maryam, just to reassure a heart-on-sleeve, articulate and forward looking individual like yourself and your husband, that there are people who know exactly how empty the experience of media absorption becomes if auntie goes into a home, and all we are left with is her amazing life in diary form. Trust in the silent majority, and hope these whizzes in suits and sparkling white trainers do not blessed-prannick it all up! (Where did the word ‘prannick’ ever go, I guess it fell out with ‘Square’ and ‘Yar’?) But, the Project is bigger than any one, which CH4 and CH5 have partly proven for how the core offering is welcomed as long as there is occasional freshness from that ole 80s BBC Two style subversion and ability to laugh at institutions. Somebody smarter than me will steer a course. Perhaps like in Covid when the smart phones said how many of us were going about on the roads with application of new rules, etc. Perhaps the Barb data and corroboration with declarations of the licence not applying could be partnered with Apple and Alphabet-Google-Android to quantify when BBC is being absorbed, and use that data to get the govt if the day to rank the nation as honest or lying bar-stewards. And if the verdict is a lie, enforce something to do with how we stream, as my suggestion of a fiver per month for fixed and mobile could serve. Fundamentally, we cannot lose you guys, especially in consideration for how you would be on twice to four times your compensation package in commercial TV world. Plus,I think it is also still true that Austria, Switzerlandvand Germany charge more for their live TV access licence, have a narrower offer and take advertising too. And, whilst FreeView, FreeSat is shared with commercial TV today, but we enjoy less frequent and shorter ad breaks than is customary in North America, we can surely expect the deathknell of tolerable commercial TV to end when their per-station platform costs disappear when harm is delivering the final blow to BBC or serious parts thereof. BBC News, in all guises of plurality should be expanding to handle the billionaire outcrop creeping in, not actively trimming ****** limbs off. Or am I wrong? Hugs to best broadcaster to many tens of millions here and half-billions beyond. #Reliability #MidwayBias #Leader

Gary Finney Zair (@finneyzair) reported@inghamjj55 @TheMekon_Venus I pay towards many services out of my tax that I don’t benefit from, but I’m ok doing it because it means others can benefit. Freeview is the biggest digital platform in the U.K. - used by a lot of peoole aged 60, a % of the licence fee helps maintain that service. 1/2
-
The Wilder Way - Patrick Wymark Boardroom (@Wyfan2) reportedSo the advantage of Freely is that unlike Freeview, when my internet goes down I also lose my TV. Technology continues to improve our lives.

Melody Lane-Hayman (@ScepturaMelody) reportedThere is never enough space on X for me to write what I need to. I still haven’t forgiven u @virginmedia for axing Thatstv2 and Thatstv3 at least now it’s not even on the menu wasn’t nice when u kept it up on the guide showing me what was on. Those channels r on sky & freeview
-
The Taxman ✞ (@CohleTheTaxman) reported@Steven59066 @AmandaMounthump My idea to write to parliament. You're a kind man and they shouldn't be making decisions like this, which will cause you problems and upset, so it will. They need to be told its not right and the decision needs stopped. Although someone told me Freeview might actually stay
-
Matt Quinn - The Caledonian Television Company. (@Matt_Q_OnX) reported@BENEFITS_NEWS Well for a start the Freeview service is guaranteed until at least 2034 and likely to be phased out over a period of time; unlikely before about 2040. 'Freely' is currently being touted as the IPTV replacement - From about £70 for a set-top box; this price will drop dramatically.
-
Stuart (@StuartSmudge) reported@BBCBreaking Not surprised, they are a nightmare when you cancel, even when your income changes when off work. Thankfully got out of it and went back to Freeview.
