  • 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.

  • 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😡

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

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

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

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, England

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • EranE1980 Eran Edry (@EranE1980) reported from Camden Town, England

  • Oldcynic9 Granny( wokes will be blocked )Bull. (@Oldcynic9) reported

    @docjmt Thanks, we wondered about freesat because the problem we have with freeview is our signal comes from a secondary mast so can we only get the main TV channels like the ITV channels ,BBC ch4, ch5 & Film 4 most of the other freeview channels are unavailable .

  • dickiemint1 Dickie Mint (@dickiemint1) reported

    @simesa @cleanfeed_ttvr Won't that HD service be online, though? No capacity on Freeview!

  • anneshine33 Anne (@anneshine33) reported

    @colinbrazierGBN Can’t get freeview we have no Ariel. All through sky or internet. Help !

  • Bryan527Bryan Thomas Bryan (@Bryan527Bryan) reported

    @Darksparks1 @thewle Not giving up, can't vote because there is no choice other than LibLabCon. Say what I think on twitter but it's just pissing into the wind. Generally I'm up for a laugh, Freeview, Sky, Netflix and Amazon Prime mainly crap but have Audible and Kindle unlimited too.

  • thecolinturner Colin Turner (@thecolinturner) reported

    @GBNEWS The problem with being on Freeview is we need a licence to watch it and therefore have to fund the BBC.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    ITV is to close its SD service in the West Country, Yorkshire and Central East regions for viewers with Sky or Freesat. These regional news services will only be available in HD. There are no changes on Freeview or Virgin Media.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital The same with freeview, dispite the fact i cant get this service even after my best efforts, those that can should have all the hd at the start, i know theres less coming up when mux 7 closes, but its the way forward.

  • HarryBarnes Harry Barnes 🥾🌍 (@HarryBarnes) reported

    @LGUK hi, you've announced Freeview play support for 2021 models. Will your 2020 models receive this? I've just bought your BX model for a fairly substantial amount, so would expect support. Thanks.

  • ByChrisSmith Chris Smith (@ByChrisSmith) reported

    @Simon_OW Wasn't it terrible? It was like something you'd see on an obscure Freeview channel, not the platform with the biggest original content budget in the world.

  • joglitter Joanne Sykes (@joglitter) reported

    @gazpunch Strangely though... If the weather's really windy, wet & stormy every channel appears. But on a calm, nice sunny day the signal strength is appalling and the few channels I do have constantly crackle... I HATE FREEVIEW! It's bloody crap these days.
