  • 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

  • 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 !

  • 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.

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

  • uptownclub Franky uptownclub (@uptownclub) reported from Harlow, England

    @Virgin how do I go about leaving Virgin because I'm paying roughly £63.50 a month for a phone that I never use only to ring you up when there's a problem.. most of my viewing is on Freeview now and I have Amazon HD fire stick and Netflix account

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

    All day on to @freeview - no signal on five TVs / three addresses /three Humax boxes & via Ariel- no signal. @freeview just say engineering work & call back in a couple of days. In a couple of days all they can do is advise to call back in couple of days and so forth !

  • ShoyebJeeva Shoyeb Jeeva (@ShoyebJeeva) reported

    @snoddy114 @LauraJade877 @Freeview I don't know if anyone else is complaining. It's not been mentioned much anywhere in the news as much. Surely other Freeview viewers must be experiencing the same issue.

  • w15645 Warthog (@w15645) reported

    @DiscussingFilm It’s looks awful. Naturally he had to be married to a black woman and the show host has to be black. Tick those boxes paramount. I’ll watch in 5 years when it’s on Freeview channel 36 or some ****

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK on X (@MediaBoyUK) reported

  • Andy__156 Andy S (@Andy__156) reported

    Also, every time there is a rescan demanded by Freeview, there’s always a problem with the signal & reception causing the aerial to be moved. Terrible service!!!!! @Ofcom sort this s**t out!!!

  • LauraJade877 Laura (@LauraJade877) reported

    @ShoyebJeeva @snoddy114 @Freeview I’m also having the same issue

  • ljmmuk Lindy Coo (@ljmmuk) reported

    @VC2243 @Old_SchoolEddie Born 1945, operated a computer when I was 21, I don't lap up anything but rock n roll, watch freeview, hate the far right, & passionately support #garyseconomics Don't tar us all with the same brush!!

  • ShoyebJeeva Shoyeb Jeeva (@ShoyebJeeva) reported

    I'm the only one here on X who seems to be experiencing issues with #freeview, they said that there were engineering works taking place at the Tower so the TV would keep going black or buffering.

  • angelpagecdlmhq Angel Page. Socials at @angelpagecdlmhq 💕✨ (@angelpagecdlmhq) reported

    It’s everywhere you look, certain groups are pissy because they have to share with the rest of the world, and are no longer pandered to and catered to exclusively. That’s why you have this hate-fuelled pushback. The Red Button and Freeview are RIGHT THERE, but it’s never enough…

  • ShoyebJeeva Shoyeb Jeeva (@ShoyebJeeva) reported

    @lababer @virginmedia Freeview channels not working properly. Crystal palace transmitter.
