    @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?

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on 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

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

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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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😡

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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.

    @greatesthitsuk Never too early.....especially when there's a channel on freeview playing nonstop Christmas movies 🎅🎅

  • kkl033 Scooter (@kkl033) reported

    @AmazonFreevee please find a way to pay to watch commercial-free. Infuriating to watch a series with same 5 commercials 1000's of times. When this series is over, so is my relationship with Freevee. Freeview sucks! #freeveesux

  • MT_Kilpatrick Michael Kilpatrick (@MT_Kilpatrick) reported

    Old Panasonic Freeview PVR no good for new ITV player and it had fault:, watch catch-up progs and it would occasionally freeze for 0.5secs. Bought a new Manhattan and it's just as crap - goes slow-mo for 2secs at random times. Why is everything such junk? @FreeviewTV

  • BDpMOHUjfU0guzV oli henshaw (@BDpMOHUjfU0guzV) reported

    @Dinnaedothat @SamBT40 @fesshole So you agree the bbc is a lefty biased site All 5 main freeview channels are so dont talk **** about the media being a tory outlet

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    Is it me or is the sound quality on @BBCTwo US Elections programme rather poor? Watching on BBC Two HD on Freeview. And I don't mean one of the contributors not having a microphone.

  • ReferralsEasy Easy Money Referrals (@ReferralsEasy) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I just got a jvc fire tv with  freeview play built in, I looked online about it & was asked if I had Aerial, WiFi etc so I just clicked WiFi as the aerial is broken but when I've set up tv it's asking me to scan stations with aerial so can't get live TV.

  • den66621408 den (@den66621408) reported

    @GBNEWS GBN On freeview keeps freezing is anyone else having problems. Talk TV and all other channels working fine.

  • LorraineDWright Lorraine Wright (@LorraineDWright) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I currently have no channels available to watch on Freeview via the Mendip transmitter. Can you advise when this issue will be resolved - this has been ongoing since yesterday.

  • EllaMarie_94 E l l a 💙 (@EllaMarie_94) reported

    @ChannelboxTV @FreeviewTV Hello, do you know how my nan can get your channel. She's got a smart tv and freeview but its not there. Don't know what to do. Any help pls?

  • highwaylass Highwaylass 🌻 (@highwaylass) reported

    I’ve had to retreat from Freeview telly. The adverts are winding me up too much. Black November? **** off. It’s Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, IF YOU ARE IN THE USA. Adverts encouraging massive spending on Christmas? Stop guilting people. And adverts for funerals 😳
