    @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

  • 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!

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍

  • 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.

  • PhilipMichaelC2 Philip Michael Chapman (@PhilipMichaelC2) reported from Croydon, England

    @PanasonicUK I have Panasonic Viera TV set now the Sony Crime Channel on Freeview channel 40 has moved to channel 60 but when I click on 60 all I get is Loading Interactive Service then the screen goes blank can you help me please or send an engineer

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

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

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

  • 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😡

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

    @itvhub Humax FVP-4000T 1TB Freeview Set Top Box Recorder, and having to sign in more or less every time is making us all dislike Martin Freeman

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

    @Disco_Squirrel I’ve got the shitty EE freeview box and it’s one of the apps on there, but never used

  • dozecat007 Boris D'Burger-Zilla (@dozecat007) reported

    Abolish TV Tax, that's £10 per month into poor peoples' hands and there is plenty on Freeview. No excuse for Today and Sport presenters being made BBC millionairres #bbcaq

  • MJCopinion Martin (@MJCopinion) reported

    I 'upgraded' to Sky Q from my Sky HD box. Engineer comes out ' all good to go'. SkyQ box doesn't work. Sent new one. Doesn't work. Try to go back to my old sky HD box to at least get Freeview. Doesn't work anymore @SkyHelpTeam what an amazing job you've done ...

  • mishybabez_ Michelle💕 #11YearsOfLittleMix (@mishybabez_) reported

    Be glad when virgin media gets set up tomorrow this freeview is annoying me! The signal keeps going. Better not do this when soaps are on xx

  • vnlbeans VNLbeans (@vnlbeans) reported

    @Chr1stop4 @skytv Yep. My Sky Q isn’t working. Been with 20+ years. Tried to phone 3 times now 55 min wait, 40 min wait and 45 mins tonight. It’s unacceptable. Next call will be to cancel, Freeview, Disney and Netflix will be fine for me since they can’t be bothered.

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

    @JHenryHardy @a516digital I honestly don't understand why anybody would watch the funeral coverage in ultra low resolution on the Sky owned Freeview channels rather than on BBC 1,2 or ITV (even in SD)

  • dvjj Di D (@dvjj) reported

    @virginmedia Area 21 down all day only to be told 45 minutes before it was due back on that its going to be 11:55 which is 4 more hours... recordings not recording and naff all on freeview grrrrrr

  • wewatchu2 Dan On Stolen Land (@wewatchu2) reported

    @victoria_racing I had a weird one from a service group but to do with Kogan lack of service. Can't see Optus in this unless someone is listening. Or reading..all I want is an app fix. Not paying for fixing freeview

  • SRE_NCFC Steve V Egan 🐄🐖🐑🐔🦃🐟 (@SRE_NCFC) reported

    @Dagenhammer01 @CathyJones65 Lifelong Labour voter - never voting Labour again. If you have the least bit of interest in understanding why then watch the #LabourFiles tonight 9pm freeview ch235 and the final part Monday 9pm. No amount of calling the left "Tories" will make a scrap of difference #NeverStarmer
