    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • garethrichmond5 Gareth Richmond (@garethrichmond5) reported from Bury, England

    If anyone needs a football fix Copenhagen are playing some other Danish club behind closed doors on Freeview 64...... is this what it’s come to😂

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • thelobsterboy Paul Smith (@thelobsterboy) reported from Manchester, England

    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

  • iainsykes2014 Iain Sykes (@iainsykes2014) reported from Blackburn, England

    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

  • Like47 Les Dawson and me #JC4PM2019 #LabourActivist (@Like47) reported from Manchester, England

    @gary_worden @cjssydney @cptcapitalg @FrogAlaPeche Poor people either don't have a TV or watch freeview.

  • CardinalBiggle2 Cardinal Biggles McFerryFace #FBPE 3.5% 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 (@CardinalBiggle2) reported

    We're fed up with the @skytv service 20 mins of every hour is adverts, & too much of the Sky output is crappy Reality TV We pay a premium over Freeview for really cheap n nasty US low rent garbage & history docs devoid of history So we're trying out Netflix. Quite like it.

  • drtoriaredfern Toria Redfern (@drtoriaredfern) reported

    Never mind. Sky Arts doesn't work on the Freeview app. OF COURSE it doesn't.

  • GrahamWatts15 Northern Lad 💙 (@GrahamWatts15) reported

    @virginmedia The worst customer service in the world and a company that has always neglected long time customers over new ones. The costs are also astronomical including charging customers to deliver freeview channels in every TV package

  • haseldinelucy Lucy Haseldine (@haseldinelucy) reported

    something that made me really sad as a child was that all my friends watched disney channel but we only had freeview so i could never get involved with any conversations about favourite TV shows :’)

  • DavidBridger David Bridger #BlackLivesMatter (@DavidBridger) reported

    @emsquare_d @CyclingLain We can't get a signal downstairs so watch Freeview upstairs (which we're happy with) and Virgin downstairs. It's that or Sky, which we can't bring ourselves to get because Murdoch. Virgin's business ethos pisses us off, but between that and Sky it's the lesser of two evils.

  • DrAndrewR Andrew (@DrAndrewR) reported

    @TheRealRevK @LGUK Sony are at it too. After buying the TV you have to accept the terms and conditions of data processing or it won’t let you watch anything. To this day I haven’t tuned the thing for freesat or freeview as I refuse to accept the awful terms.

  • julie_scan Dr. Julie Scanlon (@julie_scan) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, My TV is displaying ‘no signal’ this evening. Is there a problem with Freeview ? Or perhaps it is something else at my end. Thanks.

  • LeeThacker2 Lee Thacker (@LeeThacker2) reported

    @FauxChisels @_Nightingales Can anybody help? I don't have Freeview or Sky so I downloaded the Sky Go app on my laptop but it's not working. I tried watching The Art Of Architecture to test it out but it says Sky Go is currently unavailable. It's looking like I won't get to see the film😕

  • Ewahthethird Ed Johnson (@Ewahthethird) reported

    Thought I'd put the tv on for a change....channels aren't tuned apparently. Erm. Built in freeview on my TV. Tried auto tune but it's not finding anything. Any ideas?? #idiot #ineverwatchit

  • RG2Gas ⚽ RG2 Gas ⚽ (@RG2Gas) reported

    @KeithBrookman The atmosphere that night was unreal, you knew it was a big game when there were Police helicopters flying overhead in case of trouble as you walked down Freeview Road. The noise and surge when we scored was epic!
