  • 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

  • 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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • flowergirl_lon Sam (Flower Girl) Jennings (@flowergirl_lon) reported from Croydon, England

    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed 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.

  • djjohnyg Dj johny Garcia (@djjohnyg) reported from Richmond, 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?

  • 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

  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    And without speaking too soon to jinx anything, our Freeview signal appears to be absolutely fine at the moment... cannot understand what is causing the disruption we've been having - not changed anything in the house at all 🤔

  • nufcJonny96 Jonny Eves (@nufcJonny96) reported

    How bad is normal Freeview television. Wow

  • bucksdeathwish bee 🌸 (@bucksdeathwish) reported

    @katiephipps some people really don’t get it, netflix can cost nearly £16 a month whereas freeview costs nothing, getting rid of cbbc is just another kick in the teeth for low-income. i don’t think some people understand what it means to be poor it makes me so angry

  • Ihatethisdumbf1 Ihatethisdumbfuckinglogin (@Ihatethisdumbf1) reported

    @Polly_Phluid @RowdyRe80996794 @colinbrazierGBN Lying again? I don't know why you bother when a 5 second Google search proves you are lying. The freeview network was built off the ITVdigital platform which was built by, you guessed it, ITV. The BBC didn't do squat.

  • Dorset_Owl Dorset Owl (@Dorset_Owl) reported

    @MsAlliance @SkyNews In Bromley?!? ******, I thought Dorset was cut off ! (I'm talking about the Freeview service on channel 233 not the subscription service - just in case that's what you thought.)

  • Polly_Phluid Polly Phluid (@Polly_Phluid) reported

    @RowdyRe80996794 @colinbrazierGBN Yeah - but only truly stupid UK people think it's just telly. BBC is state owned, so it's funded by a fee or a tax They have 6 channels of TV, countless radio stations inc Radio 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 - plus they run the the Freeview network that digital TV for aerials

  • l_dont_know_her I Don't Know Her (@l_dont_know_her) reported

    Why ******** is ITV2 not in HD on Freeview? It's 2022 #LoveIsland

  • pablofsmith paul (@pablofsmith) reported

    @AVForums hi, I have an nvidea shield connected via hdmi cable to my tv but when I turn it on my freeview signal completely disappears if I pull the cable out freeview returns can you offer any advice please cheers.👍

    @RonPritchard45 I've not paid my TV licence for a second time.not worth the money.freeview TV for the bad winter months and and Amazon fire stick when stuck

  • mikeapollo Mikeapollo (@mikeapollo) reported

    We have the BBC nations feed (high symbol rate) on here. It's obvious they've got their best (4k) cameras out today. Trouble is, it's gonna make every other programme tonight look like it was filmed on a 1970s 405 line plumbicon camera... Freeview will be like legovision.
