  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

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

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

  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • 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 😂

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

    @bt_uk I got a problem it's not my fault and it's not BT issue I lost a lot of Freeview channels in my flat I went to no cancel and said you can have a dish because aerials are very bad in your area where you live we've had a lot of people coming to us about the same problem

  • 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 👍

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

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

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

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

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

    @nowtvhelp I still got my old with the built-in Freeview TV all that still work and I do I'll come back to you because I transferred my account to BT I Wish I Never now if that box doesn't work I have to buy my NOW TV stick from you?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • OllyBacon Olly Bacon (@OllyBacon) reported

    @Vitt2TsNoC Definitely refuse to pay the bill for any period you can't use the service. I know that's no help for now. Is there anyway you can still get freeview on your tv?

  • mjCurnow Martin Curnow (@mjCurnow) reported

    Dad hasn’t been able to watch @GBNEWS. Can’t watch on freeview as their TV signal is poor so they watch everything through Sky. And it’s GB News HD & screen message is to ring to upgrade. I did tell him the picture quality has been pretty dire & an embarrassment to HD TV.

  • BrexitFoxy The People's Foxy 🦊 (@BrexitFoxy) reported

    @CraggsLewis @tvlicensing @tvlicensingnews If it's the live stream, as it's also a Freeview broadcast channel then yeah you need a TV licence. If you're just watching catch-up on-demand clips, then you don't need one. The law is stupid, but that's the way it is at the moment.

  • gavros1383 gavin castleton (@gavros1383) reported

    @virginmedia £62 for freeview and internet that doesnt work a month u wanna be ashamed of yourselves stealing money from people

  • Mizzach Stu Ford 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Mizzach) reported

    @Wilson34David Any solution for freeview? It picks up my Glasgow area automatically.

  • squeezyjohn John Spiers (@squeezyjohn) reported

    @chrisbates3 @ITVSport I’m not watching it on the internet. I’m watching it on Freeview! The picture keeps on freezing with audio glitches. It’s a problem with their feed from the ground.

  • colin_gull Colin (@colin_gull) reported

    Thank goodness for Freeview as @virgin media down in my area for up to 6 hours. They've gone strangely quiet on Twitter with their self congratulatory messages

  • Skinnie_Pete New Pic (@Skinnie_Pete) reported

    @GBNEWS can't the signal on #freeview

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported

    @zsk Just thinking, unless you have no Freeview or Freesat signal, why would you want to watch live TV via ITV Hub.

  • ronsmonkeys Ronny Dean-Stanton (@ronsmonkeys) reported

    Hi!i!i!i! Does anyone have an old #freesat box they’re not using? I can’t afford to pay #VirginMedia for what is effectively a freeview tv package. (Has to be free-SAT as my aerial is too old a crap for free-VIEW). Thank you.
