    @virginmedia really poor show all TV channels drop out just as the snooker semifinal is about to finish #freeview why not.

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

  • JEFFREY03296741 JEFFREY PHILLIPS (@JEFFREY03296741) reported from Brentford, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

  • Stroudgreenguy J. Alfred Prufrock (@Stroudgreenguy) reported from Tottenham, England

    @Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.

  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

  • D_Hollingsworth Dan Hollingsworth (@D_Hollingsworth) reported from Rickmansworth, England

    When did BBC4 HD. Leave Freeview? What a load of ****, missed a chunk of #TOTP and joining it late with Michael ruddy Jackson.

  • EranE1980 Eran Edry (@EranE1980) reported from Camden Town, England

    @FreeviewAdvice hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

  • 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.

  • fishinthedark1 fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

  • 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 😂

  • Tommy_M_E_J Tom Jordan (@Tommy_M_E_J) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @njvns That’s so shit. It’s literally called freeview and yet it’s not free

  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • UB5simon Simon Bye 🐟🔶 (@UB5simon) reported from Southall, England

    All those **** channels on Freeview and it's BBC News HD that gets the chop 🤔

  • vjlorenzato Victoria Lorenzato (@vjlorenzato) reported from Brentford, England

    Catholic Twitter UK- help please! Anyone know of a Mass being broadcast on TV tomorrow ( not via internet) Lovely elderly lady has Freeview but no internet.... TIA!

  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

  • cycleoptic cycleoptic💙💚 (@cycleoptic) reported from Islington, England

    @sarky_sheena I just stayed in Travelodge in Mickelgate York. The bed was bliss and I had tea and coffee and Freeview. I really appreciate the cost as a poor author needing to stay in a hotel for research.

  • PopeyeFreeview Popeye (@PopeyeFreeview) reported

    Freeview channel 205 POP linear channel and Freeview channel 208 POP Player will closes on Monday 1st December 2025 Closure of Pop Channel on Freeview Key Details Date of Closure: The Pop channel will cease broadcasting on Freeview on December 1, 2025. Affected Channels: Both Pop and Tiny Pop will no longer be available on Freeview, Sky, or Virgin Media. Reason for Closure: The decision is due to a significant decline in viewership and commercial viability in the children's TV market. Transition to Streaming New Format: After the closure, Pop will transition to a streaming-only service on Freeview. This means viewers will need an internet-connected device to access the content. FAST Channels: Pop will continue to be available through Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV (FAST) platforms, allowing access to its content online. Remaining Options Other Free Channels: After the closure, the main free-to-air options for children's programming will be limited to BBC, CBBC, CBeebies, and Channel 5's Milkshake!. This marks the end of over two decades of broadcasting for the Pop channels, which have been a staple in children's television in the UK.
