  • 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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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 👍

  • 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 😂

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

  • 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

  • IronMask75 IronMask75 (@IronMask75) reported

    @FreeviewAU Can you please stop the #Freeview info banner from popping up by itself every 5 minutes on my Sony Bravia X95G? Problem started this week after an update and it's starting to annoy me.

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    @danowen79 @LukeCustardtv NOW sent me a questionnaire about this a little while ago. Sounds like a great TV. I especially like the built-in soundbar. But as a pay-lite customer, I wouldn't pay for full Sky. And no Freeview tuner rules me out.

  • naughtysaintni1 naughtysaintnick (@naughtysaintni1) reported

    @dan63uk Some places don’t have the signal to get all of the freeview channels. When I used to stay in some places in Wales you’d be lucky to get 20 channels, depending where area.

  • johnshigham John Higham (@johnshigham) reported

    @docrussjackson @ta_mills A freeview retune meant l lost most channels a few months before I cancelled it anyway and even new cabling, a filter and a signal booster didn’t help. I refuse to pay for something with opt-in alternatives just to be an obedient sap.

  • Cloagfarm David Smythe (@Cloagfarm) reported

    @queenchristina_ @AliMirajUK @jonathansamuels Sky news signal on Freeview non existent tonight.

  • beebusinessbee Bee Business Bee (@beebusinessbee) reported

    @officalITV It appears that your channels are down on Freeview. Still can view them via ITV Hub, however surprised you have not put some statement out on this outage, given the number of complaints being made.

  • chaneybabes mark chaney (@chaneybabes) reported

    Why is there still no #Horrorchannel app?? Wtf they playing at?? Come on and give us something better than #Horrorbites on that awful Freeview!

  • Terrywhittingh8 Terrywhittingham (@Terrywhittingh8) reported

    @FreeviewTV The Yesterday channel has disappeared from my TV. To start with the message said "no signal". When I retuned, it said " invalid channel". I've done a Freeview check using my postcode, but that said no outages in my area. Any hints on how to get Yesterday back.

  • davidvikingflag David drury (@davidvikingflag) reported

    @cordbusters Its because if you actually look what sky offer now is very poor in view if content , with the streaming apps like discovery plus , disney etc the content on sky is poor and look at what they charge . Mostly re runs of old rubbish , just go freeview
