    @DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

    @bt_uk Thanks for the help. I spoke to freeview, tried a few things which didn't work but i contacted your TV help and after doing a few basic things somehow it appears to be working now! Very Strange. Tks

    @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

    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.

    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!

  • JensFallesen
    Jens Fallesen (@JensFallesen) reported from Hounslow, England

    @leksi_p Correct. If you do not have Freeview, Sky or Virgin (or any other cable service), you should not need to pay if you never watch it.

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

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

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on Freeview.

    @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.

    @Stephen_Neal Good shout! If we just take the Freeview/Freesat ones, we get to ten, excluding the National ones: 1) BBC One 2) BBC Two 3) BBC Four 4) CBBC 5) CBeebies 6) BBC News 7) BBC Parliament 8) Dave 9) Drama 10) Yesterday But they aren’t licence fee funded, so don’t help the argument.

    To be honest, when you've removed the dependency of other real time tv, i cant see many people chipping in. Many will be paying just to watch their subscription service or Freeview.

    Channel ‘Pick’ on freeview. Never heard of it before but grateful for it tonight #chelsea

    @ann958230 It's clear that you never lived abroad if not for holidays. (And I bet you're a regular Freeview Tv customer). It's useless to keep this conversation. Have a good day

    @MaryJasper2 So sorry to hear that....Vengeance Valley will be on our catch up service Encore via your red button on Freeview or online at www.tptvencore..co.uk

    Dean (@Toasty83) reported

    @GregScottTV Uktv still broadcasting with a caption to turn over to bbc news earlier. Some Shopping channels down, Sky could have closed sky arts or pick on freeview with sky news in its place, They didn't, Showcase though are but it'd pay tv.

    @Julian70703354 @sharonsstacey That's not showing on Freeview yet but then Freeview is never too fast at updating 🤔🤔 #EastEnders

  • MissCarrieW
    Carrie (@MissCarrieW) reported

    I've had Sky News on in the background today because my freeview seems to be broken. But I now really want the familiar voice of Huw Edwards. Don't think I am alone as iPlayer seems to have crashed too. #RIPQueenElizabeth

  • PeterGriffithss
    Pete (@PeterGriffithss) reported

    @DomWarner @Tankslider @RussInCheshire Mate, I'm watching Wheel of Time on a streaming service right now. Even if you're on Freeview you've got more than 5 channels and there's one showing Extreme Philately. Go to there.

    That's all I could spot this evening on Freeview though there could have been other message(s) shown earlier which I never saw. No doubt some TV presentation sites/forums will have a comprehensive guide to what was shown/not shown tonight. 15/

    @FreeviewAdvice @ToshibaTEC_UK I don’t think it’s an issue with freeview play, the Toshiba tv I have seems to have deleted the app even though there’s a button on the remote specifically for it. I was hoping @ToshibaTEC_UK customer service was better than their tvs, guess not. Thanks for your reply though

    @notoriousok we was poor so we only had freeview growing up so it was like CBBC, CITV & **** but i’d go my friends house and watch cartoon network **** take my back

    @ImIncorrigible Not yet. Im preparing for at least a 2 week blackout of Radio when it happens. I'll check Nick Abbot's Fri/Sat podcast. Havent watched Freeview since 2015/Sky since 2017 so avoiding News wont be a problem. YT & the New US Drama's start end Sept 2022. I'll listen 2Old Nick A shows
