    @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

  • 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 😂

  • 1FatKev Kevin Killoran (@1FatKev) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia really poor show all TV channels drop out just as the snooker semifinal is about to finish #freeview why not.

  • LILBUBBLE1 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

  • 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.

  • Beige29 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

    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!

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • budgie 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.

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported from Camberwell, England

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

  • Putneyman 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 👍

  • PhilipMichaelC2 Philip Michael Chapman (@PhilipMichaelC2) reported from Croydon, England

  • Beige29 DarkBeige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @jax20206 Hi, there hasn't been any update to Freeview recently. Was it an update to the Freeview Play app or perhaps the software on the TV? Updates to apps should not affect your TVs connection to your SKy service.

  • chrisk_hw Chris K #FBPE #Rejoin #3.5% (@chrisk_hw) reported

    @NickStevenson63 And also why are there so relatively few channels broadcast in HD on Freeview (and even fewer on Freesat if you live somewhere that gets crap Freeview signal)

  • fat_tramp Gaz... (@fat_tramp) reported

    @litg50 @LozzaFox @BBC Freeview you idiot just like now but without paying £160 for the privilege of free to air television.

  • ChrisDod1 solarSteve (@ChrisDod1) reported

    There's a new TV news station on the block starting soon on Freeview etc. GB News. #GBnews To show your support for a healthy alternative to the usual BBC/ITN/Ch4/Sky News channel, search "New British... " on Facebook

  • Dr_Plinius Dr 💙 A. Heuer (@Dr_Plinius) reported

    Wretched Freeview! Why can’t they put the normal channel, and the channel+1 next to each other in the listings! You have to scroll down into the yonder channels to find the +1s!!!! And why isn’t there are BBC1+1 and BBC2+1????

  • AmigaBoing AmigaBoing.net Blog (@AmigaBoing) reported

    @FreeviewTV why is Barnoldswick, BB18 5BX, Lancashire still getting a limited Freeview Service, (I think its West Martin Transmitter) - Analogue was switched off decades ago? (asking for a friend) - He doesnt even get @ChallengeTV or @TalkingPicsTV channels🤬

  • unit_korg Korg Unit 🇬🇧🇧🇻🇺🇸 (@unit_korg) reported

    @tws4042 Just hold on a couple of more weeks, GB News is here on the 31st of May. Freeview Channel 236. The test signal is already broadcasting, you may have to re tune your TV.

  • BarrieDarke Barrie Darke (@BarrieDarke) reported

    @gordon_dudgeon @profsked @edglasgow59 I read you can delete the BBC from your Freeview by having a piss down the back of your TV. Haven't tried it myself, but let me know how you get on.

  • PaulGallant11 Paul Gallant (@PaulGallant11) reported

    @Will68796790 I have for many years paid through Xbox as I am a carer for my Mother who watches freeview channels on the other TV I use my Xbox one to view BT Sports, and I would not risk using link's as they are unstable not on Xbox

  • robinjuste Robin Juste Emery (@robinjuste) reported

    @jameswaters I still use one of those to spit the output of our antenna to two rooms. Thankfully we have a strong enough signal from Bluebell Hill to maintain a stable Freeview signal.
