Martin (@MartinC93414706) reported from Lambeth, 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

Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from Wandsworth, England@LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍
-
Andy Smith (@RegenerateAndy) reported from Wandsworth, EnglandChannel ‘Pick’ on freeview. Never heard of it before but grateful for it tonight #chelsea
-
Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, EnglandOnly 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 😂

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

-
Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England@MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.
-
Nik Rahmel (@niklasRen) reported from Wandsworth, England@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.

Jeremy Robson 🏍️🐶 (@JemRobson01) reportedLabour **** ups w/e 5/7/26 Plan to end freeview Burnham on the ropes about the cost of his living 'up north' Teachers get 17% pat rise since election Still no chancellor announced Labour admit they were not prepared 1900 less teachers than 2025
-
John Duffield (@jfwduffield) reported@johnlbirch Indeed. Becoming utterly dependent on one broadcaster is just terrible business. Even worse when Sky Sports is wedded to a dying & technically outmoded business model. Cricket poses difficulties to FTA broadcasters but with Freeview they now all have multiple channels to show it.
-
Joseph H Clarke (@clarkejoseph49) reported@aVillainsWorld @Noahgilberto19 And not having Zero hour matches carry over into the Pay Per View. Let’s not forget, some people can’t access PPV in the event of financial issues, internet issues, or being stuck with Freeview.
-
Levelling down (@LevellingDown) reported@reformparty_uk Freeview TV is yesterday's free-to-air. Freely is the future. Still free, still the same crap.
-
Velvettoatone (@TeamMPTS1) reportedAnother stupid idea is the 2034 plan to turn off Freeview. In no way will rural broadband be up to providing reliable services by then..the same applies to FM/MW radio. It's ridiculous meanness dressed up as 'progress' @SarahChampionMP @KarlTurnerMP @lukeakehurst
-
Tom Amos (@Tom_Amos) reported@langerz10 @connor_naismith I’ll be honest I typed that whilst chopping some salad and I don’t think I even know what I meant by **** all happened. I think my main point is Crewe fans have rarely contributed to radio Stoke when they’ve been on other frequencies. Why is freeview so bad?
-
Dave (@m1ctk) reported@cordbusters Hoping that the video resolution will be higher than the poor 544 x 576 on freeview at 720 x 576 at least
-
IronWorks1990 (@IronWorks1990) reported@dskiuk2 @Danrocsky76 @cordbusters I went Paris last year and our tv where we stayed was through through aerial, 50 odd channels and every single one of the was HD. Freeview now is terrible in 2026, full of shovelware channels and hardly any HD channels, SD channels look awful as well.
-
Travis Parkins (@ASouthen91055) reported@Luke_Jahn_ I am wondering how prepared you are for prison life. internet access is strictly limited. In cell tv is basic Freeview. That does include Channel 4 so Naked Attraction can help while away the lonely evenings.

Jay 🏴 (@jordanpbanks) reported@soupyferns This generation have never had to sit up waiting for the 10 minute freeview, and it shows.
