  • 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 😂

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

    @TalkingPicsTV @Simon_Pegg I wish. I can't seem to watch your channel, no matter how hard I track it down. No website or app seems to stream it, and we can't get Freeview as aerials don't work in our wooded part of the country :-(

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @mjohndyke Do you use freeview or another service to watch TV? You might need to retune.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @FernRiddell I totally forgot about this... damn the lack of a +1 on Freeview! Though I do have this on HD DVD (because all the cool people have HD DVD)

  • kazzaalazz KWF 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@kazzaalazz) reported

    @mallycuz @darrenhunter2 @GBNEWS Lol I literally get 20 crap channels on my freeview 😩

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV The move from the Freeview HD multiplex to the SD one was much appreciated. As was the addition of a subtitling service to your channel : )

  • blogmywiki Giles Booth (@blogmywiki) reported

    @BethBudden @Channel4News Looks ok to me just now on Freeview HD, but I've noticed similar problems in the past.

  • Stephen_Neal Stephen Neal (@Stephen_Neal) reported

    @simonhardwick Not sure Freeview update-over-DVB-T updates happen any more do they? The DTG closed that service a while back (it's now IP or USB update only?)

  • BinningAndy Andy Binning (@BinningAndy) reported

    @skytv Sky Glass is utter ****. You cannot choose to record anything, any singular event or episode until the provider (BBC, ITV, 4, Etc) releases it to the Gen-Public, if at all. SkyQ / TiVo records whatever you want. I'm left in Freeview world. Obscene. You should be ashamed

  • richardjacobs1 Rich Jacobs💙 (@richardjacobs1) reported

    @SimonBrodkin Similar goings on with mine. We need to compile a parental / grandparental FAQ to avoid the call outs. “Q: You think Freeview not working? A: press Input. Antenna = aerial = Freeview” My latest call out!
