    @Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38

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

  • 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

  • StevenGothard Steven Gothard (@StevenGothard) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @vtvseries I can't get v on forces tv I have Freeview can you help me please?.V

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Davidp1103 David-19 (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @TalkTalk It would be nice if you could reduce or remove a £40 charge for an engineer who called but made no inspection of equipment, explained that Freeview channels had been altered; a fact that your customer services were not aware of, but should have known.

  • StevenGothard Steven Gothard (@StevenGothard) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @S66Cams @ellabellajolie @sashalouise__x I've lost studio 66 on freeview can you help please

  • 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 !

  • LexFuturus LexFuturus (@LexFuturus) reported from Longfield, England

    Terrible streaming quality via YouTube! @btsport should have made it freeview #UCLfinal

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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 😂

  • FreeToAirUK1 FreeToAirUK (@FreeToAirUK1) reported

    @MikeHenson If you cancel your Television Licence you will lose access to all the Free To Air channels including Freesat and Freeview

  • SarahRosemary3 Sarah Rosemary (@SarahRosemary3) reported

    @ks_1968 Dunno. Just thought - I bet she has seen them all. ( I love classic films but no TV set/ freeview box & satellite coverage here is poor for streaming so no Hallmark channel . Maybe Elon Musk's new initiative will change this for people like us here)

  • jpcrafty Wordsmith of Filth (@jpcrafty) reported

    @win_confidante I'm still watching freeview on an old analogue TV plus I'm too tight to pay for it. I've got the game of thrones dvds from my sister to watch, I don't like Tom cruise so top gun was never of much interest I've seen an iron-man & a couple of captain America's but nowt special

  • SuffolkRoyal SuffolkRoyal (@SuffolkRoyal) reported

    @RichardWellings At the rate people are cancelling their licences, it’s unlikely the decision will be the BBC’s to make. But, as you say, very few would choose to pay for the BBC as a subscription service. Their future lies in commercial, freeview, tv, like ITV, Channel 4 and all the others.

  • 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.

  • paulbellis Paul 🇾🇪 (@paulbellis) reported

    Why is ITV broadcast picture on @virginmedia such poor quality? Just checked Freeview HD and it’s perfect.

  • gNcTJot1JZbw0FB . (@gNcTJot1JZbw0FB) reported

    @reallychannel sort your signal for your freeview channel,absolute shocking. Everyday without fail it’s only your channel that constantly freezes and jumps. Sort it ASAP or will no longer watch your ****** channel

  • AndrewS01250914 Andrew Scott (@AndrewS01250914) reported

    @FreeviewTV Noticing that you're thinking of bringing out a streaming service for all providers. Freeview play style? I'd have no idea. Despite the fact I could spit on the Netherton Braes relay from my couch, I've never seen a second of live TV from it.

  • Adamadamant1111 Adam Boyer (@Adamadamant1111) reported

    Great start to the weekend..not! Last night police called round to let me know someone had put a brick through the window of the house I rent out, currently empty. Had a new tenant lined up for Monday not sure she'll want it now and today bought a freeview box, its doesnt work!

  • 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
