  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 👍

  • 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.

  • 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 😂

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

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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • daguvernor tommy harper (@daguvernor) reported from Wandsworth, England

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

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

  • Deborahj_Powell Deborah Powell (@Deborahj_Powell) reported

    @dougmcfarlane41 They sent me a DM after I was commenting on your Freeview post the other day. Told me that my local service would be back soon, etc. etc. In Spain????

  • CllrGaryMalcolm Cllr Gary Malcolm 🔶️🌈 (@CllrGaryMalcolm) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Food Network (channel 42) has mysteriously disappeared from my TV. Tried retuning and still won't reappear. Is this a Freeview issue/ do I just have to be patient and wait? Thank you.

  • shorthandwitch Gill Wray (@shorthandwitch) reported

    @LLLioness1973 Freeview has been awful for quite a few weeks now. I never know if I'm going to be able to watch my favourite programmes or whether they'll be too pixilated

  • ronniet240 Ronnie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 totally 🇬🇧 (@ronniet240) reported

    If anybody wants to know why YouTube is so popular just take a look at FreeView and the old very old programs and films stacked with Adds that work as though subliminal messaging! 1hr program 20mins plus crap! 😡

  • AdamW48812662 Adam W (@AdamW48812662) reported

    @Mistertonmick74 @SkyHelpTeam Tv is on the wall so unlikely. Next Sunday Man Utd vs Liverpool. If WiFi goes down don’t think I’d be overly impressed with just freeview channels at £100 a month

  • the80smovieclub The '80s Oozy Blood (@the80smovieclub) reported

    I might be into retro **** but it's rough going back to stay with a parent for a few days. No WiFi, basic Freeview and having to take a bath because there's no shower. This is bad nostalgia.

  • ChamarelDesigns Chamarel Designs (@ChamarelDesigns) reported

    @greatmoviesuk I’ve been watching GreatMovies Christmas since it launched for this year and it’s just disappeared mid-movie this evening. It returned but with a split screen. Unplugged tv & still had the issue so I auto retuned & now channels 51 AND 49 don’t exist on my freeview!

  • MUFC_Larn Lana (@MUFC_Larn) reported

    @Natzz6487 @MissNicoleDeans I wouldn’t worry too much. You’ll still see the original on prime time tv at Christmas while this awful looking remake will get a slot on the Christmas channel on freeview at 7am in the morning on the 8th of December. Don’t fret

  • AvifaunaLux2 Avi Lux 2 🌸 (@AvifaunaLux2) reported

    @louisebentley10 I've never seen and I missed it if it came up on Freeview. It never seems to air on Freeview now. I don't subscribe to paid services/streaming. I wish whatever channel aired it would show it again.

  • rebecca_ryder21 Rebecca Ryder 💙 (@rebecca_ryder21) reported

    I finally figured out how to get sky arts woo. It was pick, I retuned it and then it vanished. You have to do a "network channel scan" if you're on Freeview and it vanishes.
