  • omotforest david sinfield #pssc (@omotforest) reported from West Molesey, England

    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.

  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

  • Beige29 DarkBeige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    Now I have the truly truly shit @EE freeview package (literally the worst selection of channels on earth but boy is it cheap broadband) I only watch the main 5 channels or SVOD. W, Dave, ITV2 etc are dead to me

  • Marmalord Marmalord (the) (@Marmalord) reported from Epsom and Ewell District, England

    @itvhub Humax FVP-4000T 1TB Freeview Set Top Box Recorder, and having to sign in more or less every time is making us all dislike Martin Freeman

  • budgie Lee 'Budgie' Barnett (@budgie) reported from Richmond, England

    @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.

  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

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

  • nessymon Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England

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

  • 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.

  • niklasRen 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.

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported from Camberwell, England

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

  • Beige29 Beige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    @loudouglas75 I have such shit freeview I only have itv2+1

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Beige29 Dark_Beige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    @Disco_Squirrel I’ve got the shitty EE freeview box and it’s one of the apps on there, but never used

  • 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 😂

  • Putneyman 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 👍

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital @hischeekiness Well on freeview, they will possibly merge or better still have a time shared service,. Either of those two can empty space for another channel. Such as talk tv in april. Who knows could be part of their plans!

  • GYPTXVN brown boy 🤎𓂀 (@GYPTXVN) reported

    Does anyone have a freeview tv and can help me with scanning for channels, not sure why mines is not working ??

  • BurleyNeo And Beans (@BurleyNeo) reported

    @PeterBoneUK @DefundBBC Would like a choice to pay for it or not as the BBC is not a critical service. Currently I pay it to watch other Freeview channels the BBC does not interest me but I have no choice. I have to pay them to watch channels that have adverts. Does not feel right at all.

  • Artemisapphire Tansy Kelly Robson (@Artemisapphire) reported

    @WalkingRichard Trying to get my GenX friend to watch more TV. There is LOADS on Freeview channels you cannot get streaming. Streaming catalogues are horrifically narrow And watching something on a whim when you come across it also expands your exposure to stuff you'd never select on a streamer

  • top1percentile Nigel Bennett (@top1percentile) reported

    @danidotx Worth trying Al Jazeera on Freeview channel 235 for a different perspective on international issues.

  • pauljholden PJ Holden (@pauljholden) reported

    in the end dropped the landline (haven't used it in years) and dropped the tv package (we're watching everything either online or catchup or on freeview - which, weirdly, in HD seems to be a better quality). Knocks from 56 (+4 increase) down to £46 (and no increase)

  • FacileTalk daz boot (@FacileTalk) reported

    Paramount Network @ 9 Freeview Ch32 The Running Man Go on, get some Arnie down yer. #TellyChat

  • recovringlawyer Matt (@recovringlawyer) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, I’m trying to get RTÉ on Freeview in Belfast. I’ve tuned my TV and all the other channels save RTÉ are showing up. I should be in an area that benefits from the RTÉ signal.

  • LGUK LG UK (@LGUK) reported

    @CallMeThoms @All4 Hi Tom, unfortunately LG and Digital UK were unable to reach an agreement for a Freeview Play device in time for the rollout of LG’s 2020 TV range, and this is why our 2020 models don't support the All4 app. (1/3)

  • leviijeanss brand😤 (@leviijeanss) reported

    @egusiwarrior the amount of nostalgia i’m getting right now, that was my **** freeview tv ones
