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

    @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 !

  • FacileTalk daz boot (@FacileTalk) reported

    Right. 9pm. Sony Movies Classic. Ch 51 Freeview. AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON But if you want to watch Nigella suck baked beans off a carrot, or whatever else is on, that is your choice & you are an idiot.

    @samanthagf3 Is available on "poor girl freeview" anywhere?!?! **goes to look.... **

  • DaveyBoi73 Dave ♿️ Esq (@DaveyBoi73) reported

    @MarkBlackmore33 @StuartYoung001 @RealPaulMartin I only have the virgin media version of freeview so it's not worth me asking for the new box. If I could find a great stable streaming service for free then I would get rid of the VM TV.

  • gemariewilliams Gemma Williams (@gemariewilliams) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice just plugged in our new freeview box, only 40 odd channels appearing out of the expected 139 for our area - can you help?

  • Pauljohnsoneggs Paul Johnson (@Pauljohnsoneggs) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Thanks for the info but resetting the box does not help. The new update and software installed is too much for these black boxes. Are you not releasing a better box to support such an update ? The 4k box doesnt have freeview, not sure why it's even a box..... thank you!

  • Spezzington LifeIsDifficultEnough (@Spezzington) reported

    @AvonandsomerRob Sky is expensive and bb slow as crap. Go with freeview / netflix / prime / youtube for price of tv licence.

  • russeaside1053 russell (@russeaside1053) reported

    @Paul_Mullen_ @FreeviewTV Tryed re tuning couple times..people round east Yorkshire buying new tv's but it's Freeview ? There's a tv signal forum online people saying all over uk Freeview trouble? all bbc channels including bbc news just breaking up on screen..neighbours are same??

  • DJLujoso DJ Lujoso (@DJLujoso) reported

    I've seen no news about any protest In any part of the UK by any of the mainstream 'news' providers on Freeview. There's a lot of the usual gun-totin' **** from the USA, **** knows why we have to watch that, the usual corporate sport garbage - we know why we have to watch that...

  • pcttons fugitive era ☼ (@pcttons) reported

    sunshine on leith with george mackay in it is such a terrible musical movie but if it’s on the freeview tv guide i’ll watch it 😭
