  • RobKerr32 Rob Kerr - I'm NOT a Robot (@RobKerr32) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @traceyfromrasen @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV My Freeview signal can be hopeless at best even connected to Wi-fi but the HDMI/laptop combo works well when the cat isn’t jumping on it !

  • 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 😂

    @stroughtonsmith @stacktracepod Hi there. I’ve just stumbled across this tweet, and I think this satellite TV app is something I need in my life! I’m looking for a way to access my saorview and freeview channels from any Apple TV on my network. Is that what this is? If so, I would be super interested.

    @ThatAlexWoman Are you still having fun (with permission always I promise!) with my surname?? In return any news on when we can expect the much anticipated and needed @GBNEWS?? You tease us on having a freeview channel!! Is @SimonMcCoyTV really that bad and 20th century on IT??

  • Adjie16077 Claire Menzies (@Adjie16077) reported

    Next year I’m going to refuse to pay my TV licence until the government do something about our TV & the BBC as a corporation not as channels because they’re just as bad. I am fed up with watching the same program is repeated on different channels through Freeview & no subtitles

    @alan_jones They filled hours with Sky Travel Shop. Their main competitor on Freeview was TV Travel Shop. Of course, it was called DTT back then as Freeview only launched in the October. So many new channels arrived, although signal wasn't great.

  • MisterBelly2u David Bell 🐝 🇾🇪🏍️🔭🏌️‍♂️💙 (@MisterBelly2u) reported

    @XSManchester Attempted to fix a Freeview aerial in the loft some years ago. Starting sneezing with all the dust, slipped off the joists and came crashing thru the spare bedroom ceiling. Straight out of a comedy film .... Carry On Belly. 🙄

  • BeccaH88 Becca (@BeccaH88) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi Freeview, wondering if you can help. Just moved into a new build and your postcode checker says we won't get Freeview - not sure if this is true or just because we have a new postcode? Don't want to waste money on an aerial if we can't get it!

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @gmomanyi2003 Hi Jeff, Freeview is only available in the UK. If the problem is with the box I recommend contacting the manufacturer, they should be able to help with any problems recorder related. Thanks, C

  • Nixed81 Nicholas O (@Nixed81) reported

    Freeview reception seems down again right now. The picture is all heavily pixelated. I've tried it using 2 different aerial cables and 3 different televisions. I just forked out on a new 4k tv last month. Not happpy!

  • TheVoicesMadeMe The Voices Made Me (@TheVoicesMadeMe) reported

    Thanks to the wonders of Freeview and miserable weather, today I discovered I'd never seen any of Fried Green Tomatoes. Ever. None of it was familiar. I'd somehow understood it as Tandy and Bates frying said fruits. Nothing about what did get cooked, why, or by whom.

    @Sotlive @BBCRadioStoke I know which local team will be marooned on Freeview TV, and it won't be Stoke or the Vale. I mean how many people listen to the radio on Freeview? #crewealex the poor relation from next season.
