  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

    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

  • Kryfold_Sky Kryfold Sky (@Kryfold_Sky) reported

    Either my tellys broke or several freeview channels have gone down? 📺

  • farmfriendlincs Farmers Friend (@farmfriendlincs) reported

    All Freeview @Channel4 stations have just crashed! Never had that happen before.

  • word_soup Ian (@word_soup) reported

    @SuperRetroid Had that on my first freeview pvr & after the initial novelty had worn off I basically never used it.

  • underarm_ace Lee S (@underarm_ace) reported

    @GothboyUK @Channel4 @SkyHelpTeam C4 has had problems all evening. Still off air in HD on Freeview here.

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

    Channel 4 on satellite is working (if you want to watch Deadpool 2). Problems persist on Freeview in some regions - this is because of the way C4 is distributed on terrestrial TV. Example C4 SD: E Mids Freeview: blank screen with 4 logo top left. North East Freeview: normal.

  • PinderBanthorpe Surviving Baby Boomer 🌈💙#EmbraceBrexitMyArse Ⓥ (@PinderBanthorpe) reported

    P*ssed off with @Channel4 tonight. Settled down to watch #Deadpool2 - no HD, (on #Freeview), but more importantly, no subtitles! For the hard of hearing, like myself, subtitles are the only way we can follow the dialogue. Poor showing. 😡

  • RealNewsUK News (@RealNewsUK) reported

    Should I report @RamadaHotels to @Ofcom for blocking @GBNews in their hotels or is it an Ofcom plan? RT News & Al Jazeera News also "no signal." Who owns them ? Rockafilla? Freeview is being censored.

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

    TV breakdown update: The worst is over for cable and satellite viewers. Freeview viewers appear to be worst affected, depending on which TV region you live in. This is because of Red Bee Media's role in getting TV services out to viewers via terrestrial TV.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @sminkypinky76 @The_X_Stitcher Hi, You could try and manually tune into one transmitter to avoid this issue. It would be dependent upon how your aerial is aligned. We would be happy to help. Please DM Freeview Advice your postcode, house name and number. Melissa

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

    Dreadful picture quality for More 4 Freeview viewers in North East England, still off air in other regions. While for others, everything is working fine. Why? That particular part of the Freeview service is regionalised and there are multiplexing issues in some areas.
