    @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.

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

    @MyHydeHome @SCCIAlphatrack Not even sure how that's possible there's no record anyways over the weekend we lost signal for the communal aerial it has become very weak very pixelated can pick up the Freeview HD channels

  • 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😡

  • 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.

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

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on Freeview.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

  • 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

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • poddys Tony Payne 🌊🌊 (@poddys) reported

    @mags324 Same here really. We have old aerials up on the roof but no good for digital tv. I have an indoor one that works with Freeview but once I retire and we need to cut down on tv costs, I will probably get a decent one put on the roof and stop paying for tv.

  • cast_bowring1 Scammell Routeman 🇺🇦💙🚛🚚♻️ (@cast_bowring1) reported

    @MrDazzaThomas @archivetvmus71 I was brought up with it, the 70's, 80's, 90's and 00's were good now it's a very poor shadow of it's self. I still watch it because there's nothing else on really. Single man alone only with Freeview.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @NickyKevin172 Hi, Nicky. Sorry to hear that you're having problems with Freeview. If you can DM us your postcode along with house number or name, we can check for any known issues or planned work in the area and advise from there. Fraser

  • ShiftDirk Owen Dirkshift (@ShiftDirk) reported

    @virginmedia @neilspellings That's just not true! I got rid of you because your service was expensive, inefficient and slow. I get better from Freeview and Netflix, and ASDL is much faster than your lowest fibre broadband, and supports just as many devices. And all at a fraction of the price.

  • mcarbl ьеи (@mcarbl) reported

    @virginmedia I have the basic of basic packages. Volt included, whatever that means, as I’m on O2 as well. A 22.5% increase is ridiculous for what is essentially Freeview with broadband. More ridiculous is your blanket removal of our right to cancel because of such imposed future increases

  • jump_on_thinice CERBERUS (@jump_on_thinice) reported

    Right well I'm shutting down now. I'm going to watch "the hitmans Bodyguard" on freeview channel 47 FLM4+1. Superb film. SAMUEL L JACKSON & RYAN REYNOLDS . HUGE FUN NITE!!

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @MarylouiseDarl3 Do you use a Freeview TV or box? And do you use any other TVs or boxes in your house? Do they have the same problem? Fraser

  • daphnewheeler15 Daphne Wheeler (@daphnewheeler15) reported

    @GBNEWS Dear GBNews and Mr Rees-Mogg please can you do something to help you would be followers. We can't all get Freeview 236 channel. Planners wont allow a dish either HELP

  • Bill_King1960 No Scottish Republic (@Bill_King1960) reported

    Breaking. Hummy declares his support for #ISIS 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233
