  • 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?

  • 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

  • maggieinlondon Maggie - wear a mask 💙🏳️‍🌈🌱 (@maggieinlondon) reported from Wandsworth, England

    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

  • AStrangerJ A.j. Stranger #UTAG (@AStrangerJ) reported from Bromley, England

    On the Freeview “REALLY” channel at 9pm, “Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?”. I’ve never seen it before, but I bet the answers not Jeffrey Epstein.

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

    @channel5_tv is the worst for catch up tv via your app or freeview. Just can’t find programmes sometimes. Trying to find Sally Lindsays posh sleepover. C4, itv and BBC never ever have a problem with. I give up with C5

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, England

    @MyHydeHome @SCCIAlphatrack Not even sure how that's possible there's no record anyways over the weekend we lost signal for the communal aerial it has become very weak very pixelated can pick up the Freeview HD channels

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • BaikieRachel Rachel Honeyman Baikie (@BaikieRachel) reported

    @TalkTalk please reply to my private message. I’m NOT paying a £172 exit fee when I’ve only got talk talk set up on 23rd June & the service has been shocking! No freeview channels found, internet so slow that I can’t even watch Netflix without it freezing every couple of minutes

  • anjack91 anita Jaeckel (@anjack91) reported

    @possetrobbo5 @n_groom Wrong. If you watch or record 'live' TV on any channel – either through your TV or through a website or app – then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home.

  • Brendanlovesu1 Brendan (@Brendanlovesu1) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Anyone else in Northern Ireland having problems getting RTE2 on freeview ? All settled to watch the Ireland v USA rugby match and it’s saying programme not available 😢

  • amg1968 Just Me AMG (@amg1968) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice It's getting pretty pointless watching anything FreeView, the transmission strengths from the 3 masts around me are so bad so prone to atmospheric interruption.I have DM'd countless times over 3years but there is no improvement & there never will be according to DTV services Ltd

  • Rich46uk Richard Chapman (@Rich46uk) reported

    @EurosportCare @OfficialBSB Hi, tx for rpy, yes still great racing. Just wish we could watch the same coverage on eurosport thats on quest. I cant get quest due to no signal for freeview in my location. Therefore missed out on all the chat from matt and the team watching it on the app.

  • thesausagekerb The Sausage Kerb (@thesausagekerb) reported

    Only 1000 spectators are allowed to be at @krcircuit for @OfficialBSB this weekend. What a shame. Please support the series and @krcircuit by watching on the 'Quest' Channel. Quest is available on Freesat 167, Sky 144, Freeview 37 and Virgin 172 #Superabikes #KnockhillBSB
