  • 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?

  • PurpleDon1973 MadameCholet (@PurpleDon1973) reported from Ilford, England

    Some days I really wish I'd kept all those calls to @JimDavisOnAir on my freeview box. I've been sent way back in time with a USB memory stick, a few years back with some calls. Damn, I really miss those days with the song choice and #JimDavisLive And it was just brilliant radio

  • 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.

  • cycleoptic cycleoptic💙💚 (@cycleoptic) reported from Islington, England

    @jock_savage @ruskin147 This licence lets you use and install receiving equipment at the licensed place. watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat) watch live on streaming services (e.g. ITVX, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now, Sky Go)

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

  • Stroudgreenguy J. Alfred Prufrock (@Stroudgreenguy) reported from Tottenham, England

    @Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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 😂

  • 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.

  • summers_allan Allan Kempson (@summers_allan) reported from Romford, England

    @talkSPORT @Sjopinion10 That's a bad idea. Sky have rights to other sports too, so a netflix football service would be yet another thing to pay for if you like multiple sports. More football needs to be on freeview channels like BBC and ITV.

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    @Forces_TV hi guys having a few problems with your freeview picture in London it freezes or breaks up had it since Friday

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

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

  • u0421793 Ian K Tindale (@u0421793) reported from East Ham, England

    The Good, the Bad and The Ugly is just starting now on Paramount network freeview 32

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    Time for the BBC to close down the BBCNews channel as they always seem to put it on BBC1 at same time WHY as BBCNews is available on sky freesat and freeview you dont need it on BBC1

  • grantlauchlan Grant Lauchlan (@grantlauchlan) reported

    @virginmedia tried to upgrade to one of ur TV packages but hopeless customer service and penalised for being an existing customer. £57 for basically what is freeview TV is a shameful price when it's on offer from £29 to new customers. I'll stick with my @amazonfiretv

  • AboutEG About East Grinstead (@AboutEG) reported

    Anyone else experiencing poor Freeview reception on some channels this morning? Probably something to do with atmospheric conditions. Sporadic E?

  • kayleelouiisexo Kayleigh jackson (@kayleelouiisexo) reported

    @TwoHatsHarry @BriantLesley @bbcquestiontime Already been..years back when i was a stupid teenager. and it was luxery then, freeview tv, own kettle’s ect. Now they have xbox’s they can decorate their cell the lot. Why would anybody want a murderer to live life ?

  • ITVChannelTV ITV Channel News (@ITVChannelTV) reported

    @SollyIan @ITV ITV was recently granted an Ofcom licence which would allow ITV1 to broadcast in HD in the Channel Islands, however, there is currently insufficient Freeview/satellite capacity to provide the service in addition to other channels. We are aware of the issue and are working to fix.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @SQR45 @FreeviewAdvice Hi Ian, sorry to hear you’re having issues with your TV! If using Freeview, could you please check ch. 27 and 44, as they are on the same service as us? If they are also missing, try giving the Freeview helpline a ring at 03456 505050. I hope you get back to watching TPTV ASAP!

  • pipmadeley Pip (@pipmadeley) reported

    @TomABacon @Plusnet Funnily enough that was one of the first things I read when Googling the problem, but we don't have Sky and the Humax (freeview) STB isn't connected to the Internet.

  • Chris_Hill_Bsc Chris Hill BSc (@Chris_Hill_Bsc) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I live in LE11 1SL Loughborough, Freeview channels including all HD channels worked perfectly last night, and today nothing, no signal, won’t even pick up hd channels or half the normal channels?? What’s going on???

  • Mide Midé (@Mide) reported

    Hold on...is it me or have they made Non-HD channels terrible on purpose? Is it supposed to upsell everybody to get smart TVs and Freeview?
