    Some days I really wish I'd kept all those calls to @JimDavisOnAir on my freeview box. I've been sent way back in time with a USB memory stick, a few years back with some calls. Damn, I really miss those days with the song choice and #JimDavisLive And it was just brilliant radio

    @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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • flowergirl_lon Sam (Flower Girl) Jennings (@flowergirl_lon) reported from Croydon, England

    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

  • JEFFREY03296741 JEFFREY PHILLIPS (@JEFFREY03296741) reported from Brentford, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

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

    With 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.

  • Stroudgreenguy J. Alfred Prufrock (@Stroudgreenguy) reported from Tottenham, England

    @Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.

  • 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?

  • sospainter 🅿🅰🆄🅻 🅲🅾🅻🅻🅸🅴🆁 (@sospainter) reported from Whyteleafe, England

    @IanSlaterPhoto1 @VixThatRuns I have a sizeable Samsung. Ditched Virgin Media, the plan was to have Freeview. The tv doesn’t support Freeview!

    Any reason why @BBCNews keeps losing signal on @FreeviewTV #bbcnews #freeview

  • LoveLovePeaceP1 Love_Love_Peace_Peace_Blog (@LoveLovePeaceP1) reported

    @soundofbeauty22 Semis are only shown on Freeview channels in the UK and barely promoted, so only really watched by the fandom. We've never liked that up to now but I'm glad of it this time.

  • Edinburgh59 Alex (@Edinburgh59) reported

    @ArgosHelpers hi I wanted to order a 24 inch Bush television Freeview dvd combi but it won't let it be delivered to me fast track why and you've just lost a £139 customer

  • t_witterer t_witterer (@t_witterer) reported

    @MartinSLewis @bbc5live Cancelled mobile contract and Disney+ so far, will just use Wifi and have freeview channels. Have nothing else to cancel. Considering getting train to work & hoping no ticket inspectors as can no longer fuel, this is serious last straw now.

  • JasonFlavell Jase 🎢 (@JasonFlavell) reported

    @timpez123 It can be, it entirely depends on your Wi-Fi, it relies on that entirely, if your wife is down the TV is pretty much defunct apart from if you have an arial in it for free view. Same applies if you cancel the sky subscription, the TV is basically a dead tv other than freeview

  • FreeviewTV Freeview (@FreeviewTV) reported

    @Gucci_Hughes Hi Brad, Unfortunately, Freeview is only viewable via a aerial at this time, you can use the catch up service online. Thanks George

  • anotheriain another iain (@anotheriain) reported

    No, Freeview box, I *never* want to record this programme in HD instead of SD, why do you keep asking me?

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @gffcontwitch @BBCNews @FreeviewTV Hi, I am so very sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. Can you please DM Freeview Advice your full postcode and house name/number and we will look into this for you. Thank you, Melissa

  • happyborg happyborg: decentralising & democratising (@happyborg) reported

    What have you done @RadioTimes? The online TV Guide I've used for years has been broken in multiple ways. Choosing things like 'Freeview' breaks it. Lazy loading as I scroll never completes, channel numbers aren't shown. It's hard to scroll vertically without it scrolling time😵

  • SummerCrush10 Sam Norris (@SummerCrush10) reported

    @KeepUpWithKFabe In the UK you can pay to watch The AEW PPV's on the night or wait an extra until it goes onto the FREE Channel ITV (which you don't have to pay to watch on Freeview or Sky) but you have to pay to watch it if using their ITV Hub catch up service.
