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

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

  • Marmalord Marmalord (the) (@Marmalord) reported from Epsom and Ewell District, 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

  • Beige29 DarkBeige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    Now I have the truly truly shit @EE freeview package (literally the worst selection of channels on earth but boy is it cheap broadband) I only watch the main 5 channels or SVOD. W, Dave, ITV2 etc are dead to me

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

  • 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

  • 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.

  • budgie Lee 'Budgie' Barnett (@budgie) reported from Richmond, England

    @DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

    @FreeviewAdvice Why can't I get the Horror Bites app on Freeview? Or view the Horror channel on demand service? Cheers

  • a4e_abc Kerrpunk🍊🍊🍊💙 🤡🇬🇧 (@a4e_abc) reported

    @DrewLawDesign A few saying Everett, I liked him in the 70s as a kid but I watched it the other week on Freeview and it was cringy as **** really really ****. Best left of n the 70s I think. Anyway has to be Ken Loach.

  • Anarkii_ Anarkii (@Anarkii_) reported

    Hey @SamsungTV @SamsungSupport - with the new firmware 1903 for the QN800A, sometimes pressing right on the remote on broadcast tv, nothing happens, when it is meant to show the Freeview guide. Turning tv off and on again is the only way to fix it. Please fix for next update :)

  • ggnewed Ash #BlackLivesMatter (@ggnewed) reported

    I don't watch Emmerdale any more, but I do like the terse episode summaries they put up on freeview. "Marlon bodypops. Something is loud. Terrible smell at the pub."

  • mickey_omeara Mickey O'Meara (@mickey_omeara) reported

    @FreeviewTV I'm still receiving the wrong ITV Region on Channel 103. On Channel 3 I receive ITV Meridian South which is correct but on Channel 103 I'm receiving ITV Meridian Kent. Freesat had the same problem but was fixed in April last year. When do Freeview plan to fix this?

  • steepstuff SteepStuff (@steepstuff) reported

    @FreeviewTV why is it that since having #freeview any wind, rain or combination of, and we get **** TV reception?? #craptechnology

  • BRFC_Bigchris Tackleberry (@BRFC_Bigchris) reported

    @yorkshirebegley As they're putting their prices up they are in breach of contract, you can cancel or renegotiate. I like their service Phil, I'm on 100Mb BB, realistically get 75% of that at peak times. I just want to ditch the TV service off for freeview.

  • DoctaP2 Pazzle Ron Cupboard (@DoctaP2) reported

    @simontucker1979 My parents eventually paid to have a booster aerial put in, just to try and pick up channel 4. Cost like a hundred quid and the signal was pretty patchy but it worked just about, wasn't that much longer before they started broadcasting it anyway tho I think, maybe Freeview time.

  • harajukulandon Chantelle Landon (@harajukulandon) reported

    @janetlucas728 @andjustice4some It is getting expensive yes. I had freeview, but my tv broke down Last year. So I have nothing now. I just watch stuff online. It doesn't really bother me tbh. But I occasionally miss out on a few things.

  • wozdm38 warren myers (@wozdm38) reported

    @bbcthree @BBCiPlayer So crap you actually came back to freeview...lol
