    @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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • AStrangerJ A.j. Stranger #UTAG (@AStrangerJ) reported from Bromley, England

    On the Freeview “REALLY” channel at 9pm, “Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?”. I’ve never seen it before, but I bet the answers not Jeffrey Epstein.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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😡

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

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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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 👍

  • 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

  • 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.

    Anyone having #Freeview issues?

  • MrRandomGuy93 That Random Guy (@MrRandomGuy93) reported

    @abline11 @ImVaradi @davywright65 No, I don't need to, I have a garage for that. Whilst I don't want to sound rude, your generation make me laugh when they try and act like they're so much more intelligent but don't even know how to tune in a digital TV to get freeview.

  • SpirouTheGamer Spirou The Dragon (@SpirouTheGamer) reported

    @bigkite @Prof_Nostalgia @FreeviewAdvice Have you phoned the Freeview Helpline to ask further information? If you don't have internet access to check signal transmissions online your best route is to phone 03456 50 50 50. Mon - Fri, 9am to 5pm. Sadly now the soonest you can call is Monday.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @pandorasrockbox Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this further can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Anyone with a satellite receiver, including Sky/Freesat (if you know how to manually tune it) can access these broadcasts. Your receiver will need to support HbbTV 2.0 to see the accessible Freeview guide. @cleanfeed_ttvr @tvlive

  • ItsPreeceyHere Leigh Preece (@ItsPreeceyHere) reported

    @tideswellman @BTCare I had Youview for about six months. Ditched it and never looked back. Used Freesat and Freeview since + Firestick for catchup services. All free and fine.

  • gildy61 Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    Hmmm...Boom Radio is struggling again today 😟but it could still be Bilsdale transmitter related issues. I looked at Freeview TV for the first time since the fire last night. Did a scan. Nothing!

  • cypressbill1980 Robert (@cypressbill1980) reported

    @hackerb0t Example. I was at a recycling dump and a guy was throwing away a huge LG LCD screen. I said whats up with it? he said"cant get it to tune into tv signal" He said I could take it. Plugged in my pc, ps3 & freeview terrestrial tv box using the scart/hdmi all worked. Opportunities

    @alibi_channel Damn. Subscription only. Why not on freeview!

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @GThomasboro Freeview is responsible for customer facing comms rather than Arqiva, but they'll be restricted to certain "lines to take" and that will have been approved, so it won't be as rough and ready as what you get on this Twitter feed! But for times like this, it's impossible to provide
