  • 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

  • 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

  • MartinC93414706 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Scare158Steve Scarebear (@Scare158Steve) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @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

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

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

  • vjlorenzato Victoria Lorenzato (@vjlorenzato) reported from Brentford, England

    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!

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • RegenerateAndy Andy Smith (@RegenerateAndy) reported from Wandsworth, England

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

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • daguvernor tommy harper (@daguvernor) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia once again trying to contact virgin media is a no go a proper waste of time contract has run out trying to cancel they have put the money up to £60 a month for basically 2 freeview boxes I have cancelled my direct debit which is due on the 7 april what a scam😡

    @danielmgmoylan @GBNEWS What's the Freeview channel number? Never watched it yet.

  • justacwab Just Another Cyclist (@justacwab) reported

    @4Viewers Is there a known issue with All4 on Freeview Play? I cant log on - can enter my email address, but the keys don’t register when putting in the password. Any ideas?

  • Elonbertarian24 LP Freely (@Elonbertarian24) reported

    .@dmckenty: RT @GBNEWS: 'I was denounced, smeared, it was pretty scary.' Dr Naomi Wolf joins Mark Steyn to discuss being ridiculed after linking problems with women's health with the Covid jab in 2020. 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 515, Virgin 604 🖥 GB News on YouTube …

  • Dimpconvery Dimps (@Dimpconvery) reported

    @leefer3 I don’t have any of the channels you pay for, but for the last few weeks I discovered on Freeview no 50 there is a Christmas movies Channel . I watched a couple but they were pretty terrible movies.

  • chaplow_john Mr John (@chaplow_john) reported

    @_mstephenson88 Probably BeIN not wanting Freeview anywhere in Qatar as they have had huge promotion push getting people to subscribe over here with discounted offers specifically for the WC. Still **** though WC should be Freeview everywhere

  • 0325_jade Happy birthday Seungmin! (@0325_jade) reported

    Cartoon Network 30th is tomorrow. I'll still be asleep by the time OG Teen Titan shows sadly, and i dont think Freeview even has access to it. All I want to know is more info about the new Total Drama seasons 💀

  • kerrydupont KDP (@kerrydupont) reported

    The sale of Base FM to members of Destiny Church is likely the first step towards a Destiny radio network. A station’s value generally lies within the owned frequencies (and in this case, Freeview presence). Stations pivot their audience all the time.

  • fincardy fin (@fincardy) reported

    Still not sure why on UK freeview you’re never more than 20 minutes away from a programme about Hitler.

  • tangent_tgt Joe Wallis (@tangent_tgt) reported

    @BlankOpenspace @FreeviewAdvice No terestrial TV channels at all in my area LU5 - LU6 and still freeview say everything is perfect. In reality, freeview has been getting worse and worse ever since the so called improvements all this year but today freeview has absolutely "NO" signal at all.

  • BallMalcolm malcolm george ball (@BallMalcolm) reported

    @offtheballbbc Brannigan was shown on Talking Pictures TV last night and Tam`s pal used a post box in the middle of Piccadilly Circus. The station has a catchup service on Freeview if you want to watch.
