  • 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 👍

  • 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

  • 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

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

    Now 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

  • 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

  • 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 Beige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    @loudouglas75 I have such shit freeview I only have itv2+1

  • 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

  • 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😡

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • nessymon Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England

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

  • 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

  • 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 😂

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • LaurenceBraith1 Laurence Braithwaite (@LaurenceBraith1) reported

    Anyone else finding that their #Freeview signal has substantially weakened 🤔 Found recently that terrestrial channels are inexplicably disappearing from our smart TV. Not sure if they've weakened the signal to save energy. We're in South Birmingham.

  • NoirMJ Matthew Black (@NoirMJ) reported

    Made the mistake of watching the WDF Darts World Championship on 'Quest' (12, Freeview). It's SO slow that one of the players had a hairline when the match started. Though, the action (if you can call it that) is still better that Paul Nicholson's commentary...

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie 🇺🇦 (@Brekkietweets) reported

    Frankly Freeview has been run like our train network with us now still predominantly stuck in SD and closing HD muxes whilst the rest of the world is moving on to 4K.

  • maniacpony MatO (@maniacpony) reported

    Hi @FreeviewTV , which of your set top boxes have CLM? i.e. support "wireless Freeview"@ viewing of channels over an internet connection where there's no aerial reception?

  • petesmith0905 pete smith (@petesmith0905) reported

    @jezzojezzo @GBNEWS Hi Jez..just out interest what platform are you watching this on. Is it Freeview, Virgin or Sky? Are you still getting the problem?

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    @LukeCustardtv Recent & this week: FREEVIEW Killing Eve, Peaky Blinders, Gentleman Jack, Holding, The Split, Derry Girls, Hullraisers, Gogglebox NOW Resident Alien NETFLIX The Last Kingdom, Top Boy, Snowpiercer APPLE Severance, The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, Slow Horses, Roar

  • tommy210254 Thomas Hamilton IV (@tommy210254) reported

    @darrengrimes_ @ReasonedUK Still can't find this "TV Channel" on freeview. Do I need to retune? Could someone from Tufton St help me out financially?

  • MRSM1TH888 🌎🏇🏻GALLOWGLASS 🏇🏻🌏 (@MRSM1TH888) reported

    @ouestlesamuel @RacingFlamingo Imagine blocking me, I didn’t know until this reply. Shows you the mentality we’re dealing with. Spiteful and never happy with a dash of jealousy. Subscribe to a racing channel if freeview isn’t good enough. Yes I agree. They’ve brought excellent coverage. No issues 👍🏻👌🏻

  • Kimisgloves Argyle Jack (@Kimisgloves) reported

    @always_argyle12 @only1argyle Cause ArgyleTV is a joke and Radio Devon never put us on freeview

  • willmill82 🍢🥙will🥙🍢 (@willmill82) reported

    @ben_quick With Sky Glass, if you cancel the subscription there's a freeview tuner so it'll work... But yeah, understand the hesitancy there
