    @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.

    @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

    @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.

    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

    @Disco_Squirrel I’ve got the shitty EE freeview box and it’s one of the apps on there, but never used

    @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.

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

    @njvns That’s so shit. It’s literally called freeview and yet it’s not free

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

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

    @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

    @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.

    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.

    @a516digital From what I've seen of local TV while staying in York this trash needs booting down to the end of the Freeview guide to a 9x position. Sky Arts is far more deserving of that position if BBC 3 can't have it.

    Pretty terrible bit of Sherlockiana on freeview 68 just now @LadyLiminal1 !

    Hehe.. I have worked out a way to get in & out of the ULEZ undetected. Gonna go scope it out in a bit. Trouble is, if it fails I'll have to pay TFL twelve quid & I won't know if it works for three days... Beats sitting in watching freeview, eh?

  • NotToryScum
    Not a Tory (@NotToryScum) reported

    And it think it’s terrible that the other home nations can watch their team on Freeview, yet if the Scots want to see one of the best Scottish teams ever, they have to fork out for a sky sports subscription. Sort this out and get the games on the BBC or STV @ScottishFA

  • Golf_5_TM
    Tim H (G5TM) (@Golf_5_TM) reported

    BTW re: my earlier poll re: TVI.. please share I’d like votes and responses on this. It seems like it’s all bands causing issue but ONLY on satellite and DAB!?? Not freeview. I’m sure both satellite and DAB are linked to their rf distributor in the attic.

    Jeannie pie (@jeannie_pie) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Cont pt2 - guides never had both London & local (BBC & ITV) this only started about 10 days ago when my BTYOUVIEW box had an update. BT say Freeview are responsible.

  • JamesHotham
    Agent H (@JamesHotham) reported

    @RTUKnews I'm probably slow here, but what happened to the news on Freeview? (RT international is on as ever) But RT UK would be on from 3pm - but, only realised, not seen it on in a while. 🤔

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

    Is it me or is the picture quality on BBC SD channels extremely poor? (Freeview) SD just shouldn't look this bad!

  • jpc101
    James Cooper (@jpc101) reported

    @MEFoggyDog At 3pm on ‘Great Movies’ (ch 33 on Freeview) today it’s ‘A Puppy for Christmas’. It’s one of those Xmas movies that are “so bad they’re good”!!! Cheesetastic would be another word for it.

    @FernRiddell I totally forgot about this... damn the lack of a +1 on Freeview! Though I do have this on HD DVD (because all the cool people have HD DVD)
