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.

Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, EnglandQuestion 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?

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.

Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England@FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

Red Moon 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 🍁 🇬🇱 (@Undercover_mole) reported@GBNEWS Problem is Freely isn't free.... You need a broadband connection costing you tens of pounds per month. Where as Freeview and Freesat are actually free to view.

Gary Christian (@GaryChr21501647) reported@itvfootball What the hell is happening to your freeview HD signal.

FreeScot 🏴 💜🤍💚 (@roorooyes4) reportedUnsurprisingly, so many things have not been considered with the whole "shutting off terrestrial" tv thing. For instance, companies like BT/EE do NOT broadcast the Freeview channels on their online service in rural Scotland. These come in on the aeriel, the rest through your ...

Judith Nicholson (@JudeNicho) reported@cyclingontnt When are the highlight programmes available on HBO Max? I see them on freeview on DMAX at 7pm, but never available on HBO Max other than a 10 min compilation?It's not possible to get the DMAX show on catch up so it's quite poor compared to before moving to HBO.

Daryl Millar 🏴⚽️ (@daryl_millar) reported@syncronicity100 Thanks. Briefly thought it was high pressure taking down the Freeview signal in my area again, but it was just a few seconds. Dunno if it was the same on iPlayer.

Matt Quinn - The Caledonian Television Company. (@Matt_Q_OnX) reported@iggy1966 @BENEFITS_NEWS They don't really, Chris... However the 'Freely' service currently being touted to replace Freeview in about 15 years time IS a streamed service which WILL be available via set top boxes/inbuilt IP provision in TV sets and probably an 'App'.

codfish 🧶 (@codfish246) reported@4doorsmorepaws ah that makes sense! never looked into whether freesat got more channels than freeview but i'm assuming it was probably just a signal thing more than anything else lol that sucks 😭 I only remember having to that with analog tv for a while and then I guess we got our aerial fixed

Mitch W 71 (@Mitch_1142) reported@1Atkins @ThatsTVOfficial xenon81Message posted on30 Jul 2026 03:21 PM - last edited: 30 Jul 2026 03:22 PM That's TV has gradually removed all its channels from Sky, Freesat and Virgin Media over the last few months. It remains on Freeview (for now) but is said to be suffering financial problems.

Andy.✝️🇬🇧 (@Smeeghee) reported@GBNEWS Why don’t you broadcast in HD on Freeview!! Ffs, it looks crap compared to Sky!

Ali-Pan (@alison_pannell) reported@Jenny_1884 @whinestop I believe the BBC needs to change it's funding model - preferably to a subscription service as using advertising would have negative effects on current Freeview channels. I would like to see a system similar to Sky so you could choose your subscription level.
