    @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 !

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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 😂

    @FreeviewAdvice I was watching Challenge TV on Thursday evening on my TV with built-in Freeview. When I went to watch the same channel yesterday, a message “service is not running” appeared. Why has it been withdrawn without notice?

    @FrancisAShailes Hi Francis, I am so very sorry Freeview do not currently offer a service for computer or laptops via the web browser. To access content we would recommend you use the broadcasters websites such as BBC iplayer, ITV Hub, All4, MY 5, UKTV Play and Together TV via your PC.

    @helensclegel Not on Netflix, but Great TV (Freeview 50) has that kind of stuff, plus US done-to-deaths such as Murder, She Wrote. As someone with mobility issues, with a partner who has spent over a year recovering after a serious accident, I know about harmless crap TV.

  • marktheman2010 Mark.🌱🐞🦋🌱🌻🌼🌷🌸🍄🦔 (@marktheman2010) reported

    @zombiestitcher Do you have Freeview Channel 65 "That's TV (UK)? It's back-to-back music videos. and old sitcoms From 10.00 to 13.00 and again at 15.00 to 17.00 it's "That's 80s - The Best Music" Some great videos worth having on in the background when your are not working.

  • spaceacepupper weird boi // #TeamCheddar (@spaceacepupper) reported

    @virginmedia no error codes. like I said our actual virgin box is fine, but any Freeview box or TV is either saying no signal or simply glitching both visually and audibly. we believe it's an aerial issue perhaps and we know it happened last Monday because that's when shows stopped recording.

  • SocialSpeedway Speedway Social (@SocialSpeedway) reported

    @Lewis_Bickley I remember when it was mentioned in the Eurosport deal that highlights would be available on Quest on Freeview, which in theory should raise the profile by allowing more people to see it. Never heard it mentioned since.

  • dozecat007 Boris D'Burger-Zilla (@dozecat007) reported

    Abolish TV Tax, that's £10 per month into poor peoples' hands and there is plenty on Freeview. No excuse for Today and Sport presenters being made BBC millionairres #bbcaq

    @Stephen87495131 @SkyNews They will. So pay tv needs to go Nothing wrong with freeview. Don't buy or take contracts out on the dearest ipads. The Government help for utilities should have been means tested and increased. 100% increase is unaffordable. Food prices are rising especially essential foods.

  • BARN3YGUMBL3 Gumbo (@BARN3YGUMBL3) reported

    @twodoorgeorge @SkyNews Are actually saying we're not being forced to pay this? If you have sky, virgin, bt, freeview or freesat you are forced to pay it. **** labour I hope they are never elected.

    @Page_888 @russty_russ When there's a cheaper alterative for a quarter of the price, and there's a cost of living crisis - it's an easy cutback. If I was Radio Times King, I'd make print edition Freeview channels only and try and get price down to £2. Would mean a lot of changes to get there.
