    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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 😂

  • 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 👍

  • 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.

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

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

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

  • Marmalord Marmalord (the) (@Marmalord) reported from Epsom and Ewell District, England

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • juliancrittall Julian Crittall #FBPE 🇪🇺 (@juliancrittall) reported

    @Afanasiew Being in my fifties basically any freeview daytime advert. Life insurance, retirement homes, stairlifts etc. The worst of the lot is the life insurance wrongly delivered post (again) ad with 'June from next door'.

  • RobGooders Gooders (@RobGooders) reported

    In the interests of fairness, I should say that as disappointing as BT's service was yesterday, it got better today. I'm back online & have some subscription channels but none of the freeview ones as there's no aerial here and they use a sub-contractor to do that, currently AWOL

  • pany1galanis Panayiotis Galanis (@pany1galanis) reported

    @ChannelboxTV Hi, super excited that I can watch @HELLENICTV on Freeview Channel 271, However, when I put the channel on, it just says "Data Only" with a blanc screen. Could I please ask for your Help here? Thanks in advance for your time.

  • Owenmcgee8 Owen mcgee (@Owenmcgee8) reported

    Client who I've repeatedly told that we still don't have freeview has just got curry's out to 'fix' his TV cos it wasn't tuning 🙃 How many times does one person need to be told the same thing!?

  • JoshMetcalfe Josh Metcalfe (@JoshMetcalfe) reported

    @greeniememes Damn I was hoping you'd give us the word. The Chinese channels on freeview are no help, though that could be because I don't understand Mandarin or Cantonese

  • LunaForeverr Luna. 💙🌙 (@LunaForeverr) reported

    @Sylvie_124 I had a TV similar to this but in black, never watched VHS tapes since I was born as DVDs were replacing VHS, but I remember watching cartoons on DVD and on Freeview channels on bunny ears aerial before they got phased out too
