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

  • fishinthedark1 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.

  • AStrangerJ A.j. Stranger #UTAG (@AStrangerJ) reported from Bromley, England

    On the Freeview “REALLY” channel at 9pm, “Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?”. I’ve never seen it before, but I bet the answers not Jeffrey Epstein.

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    Time for the BBC to close down the BBCNews channel as they always seem to put it on BBC1 at same time WHY as BBCNews is available on sky freesat and freeview you dont need it on BBC1

  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    @Forces_TV hi guys having a few problems with your freeview picture in London it freezes or breaks up had it since Friday

  • niklasRen 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.

  • daguvernor 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😡

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

    @bt_uk I got a problem it's not my fault and it's not BT issue I lost a lot of Freeview channels in my flat I went to no cancel and said you can have a dish because aerials are very bad in your area where you live we've had a lot of people coming to us about the same problem

  • Scare158Steve 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

  • vjlorenzato Victoria Lorenzato (@vjlorenzato) reported from Brentford, England

    Catholic 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!

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on Freeview.

  • 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

  • Tommy_M_E_J 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

  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

  • EranE1980 Eran Edry (@EranE1980) reported from Camden Town, England

    @FreeviewAdvice hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

  • mspaintera you can make my name out of "nyaitchinisan" (@mspaintera) reported

    @FreeviewTV freeview i have a serious question , what’s the point of your service it just redirects you to other apps

  • ChefGarethS Chef G (@ChefGarethS) reported

    @BustedSpyke @BBC I thought the Red Button on BBC was free? I'm guessing it is if you have freeview on your TV but how'd you get to watch that on a laptop / mobile device? As for the online commentary, I've got the same problem as I'm just on the edge of 95.5FM's area 🤬

  • hopeless_punter Dan Chivers (@hopeless_punter) reported

    @wgf1976 @GBNEWS It's not news though. Call it Farage TV and stick it on YouTube for those that want it. No problem with that. Broadcasting as a "news" channel, in the news section of the EPG, using precious Freeview capacity? *That* I don't believe in, no. No right thinking person would.

  • PriorMargaret Dr Margaret Prior (@PriorMargaret) reported

    @callaghansstuff @SimmsMelanie My mother never had any issues with remotes, DVD players, freeview boxes or mobiles. Just saying.

  • clazza40 Claire (@clazza40) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice no channels in SN6 since last Thursday but no reported problems when calling the Freeview helpline. How do we report? Entire village affected. TIA

  • autisticlyaaron Aaron Williams They/Them ♠️💛💜🤍🖤♠️🏳️‍🌈🔶 (@autisticlyaaron) reported

    @JoGoldsmithE @charliclement_ Think for GBBO on the All 4 streaming platform time to come to be able to get it on Sky, Freesat, Freeview and stuff like that which is terrible

  • SkyNews Sky News (@SkyNews) reported

    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

  • Beverle51995260 Foxy Bev 🦊 🦊 (@Beverle51995260) reported

    @arch1com Me. Freeview is crap, two different channels with Jaws 2 on at one point. Gone back to watching my DVDs. I've got a huge collection 👍

  • AndSmelly Smelly Socks and Garden Peas (@AndSmelly) reported

    @sarahMo3W @susankmann @TheDTblogs Having too much choice really is a 1st world problem. Between Netflix, Prime and Disney+ as well as NowTV and all the freeview stuff. I liked having 4 channels to pick from.

  • 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
