  • 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

  • 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.

  • JensFallesen Jens Fallesen (@JensFallesen) reported from Hounslow, England

    @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.

  • 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

  • RegenerateAndy Andy Smith (@RegenerateAndy) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Channel ‘Pick’ on freeview. Never heard of it before but grateful for it tonight #chelsea

  • 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

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

    @itvhub Humax FVP-4000T 1TB Freeview Set Top Box Recorder, and having to sign in more or less every time is making us all dislike Martin Freeman

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

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

  • 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 👍

  • 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 😂

  • 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

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

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

  • 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!

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

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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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😡

  • 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.

    @Moviebore I'm back on Freeview now. The signal had been breaking up.

  • sarahjaneparton Sarah Jane Teurakura Parton (@sarahjaneparton) reported

    Hey there, funny question: my folks have moved to Levin and they can’t get Māori TV to work on Freeview on their new TV. It just goes from channel 4 to channel 6 and no channel 15. My bro reckons you can’t get Māori TV everywhere due to reception issues. Is this true? Surely not?

  • dean_m_caldwell DEAN CALDWELL (@dean_m_caldwell) reported

    Do you know that out of 30 odd television channels on New Zealand's freeview. That there is only 4 - 5 mainstream channels. Out of these most popular channels. Most of the content is reality TV crap. I would love to see an old black and white 30s musical movie.

  • MissLouiseJane3 Miss Louise Jane Burrell (@MissLouiseJane3) reported

  • Geordie_Guy Shaun (@Geordie_Guy) reported

    @Ne3Steve @GBNEWS Interesting. Next time I notice sound sync issues I'll check Freeview & see if it's the same.

  • kopchris88 Chris (@kopchris88) reported

    @alid7997 @ShankillGAWA Not working for me on Freeview mate

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported

    @dj85ftm My cousin works for sky & if you cancel, a few weeks later they’ll call you back & offer a decent discount. I’ve cancelled a few times over the yrs & never handed a box back & you can watch the freeview channels through the box

  • AceMan69905395 A very average ordinary guy (@AceMan69905395) reported

    @BBCSport Sorry BBC but I think your coverage this year has been poor compared with previous years. The red button is a waste of time, what's happened to the 601,2,3&4 streams on Freeview? Not everyone wants to watch on phones or tablets, or has an iPlayer enabled TV or the internet!

  • rebelofeurope Rebel. 🟥🟨 (@rebelofeurope) reported

    @HisenseUK Hi, I have a A7100F TV but when trying to use Channelbox or VisionTV on freeview it says "Not Available" - can you help?

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @a516digital It was almost as though the Freeview reception at work was trolling the people watching in the canteen the other day. Whenever something was about to happen the screen went black and "no signal" only to return when the exciting bit was over.
