  • PurpleDon1973 MadameCholet (@PurpleDon1973) reported from Ilford, England

    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

    @Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • M0YMJ Paul Coppin (@M0YMJ) reported from Worcester Park, England

    Freeview in Kent down at present. Anyone else have the same problem

    @IanSlaterPhoto1 @VixThatRuns I have a sizeable Samsung. Ditched Virgin Media, the plan was to have Freeview. The tv doesn’t support Freeview!

  • UB5simon Simon Bye 🐟🔶 (@UB5simon) reported from Southall, England

    All those **** channels on Freeview and it's BBC News HD that gets the chop 🤔

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

    FREEVIEW | My main aim is to help the team - Blackett Tyler Blackett sat down with iFollow Millers after penning a deal until the end of the 2022/23 campaign. #rufc | #ForeverTogetherForeverProud

  • SmallCurtains Jen (@SmallCurtains) reported

    Has anyone else's #FREEVIEW signal disappeared?

  • space_librarian Lorna Robertson (@space_librarian) reported

    @angefitzpatrick @libmichelle I have lived IN Edinburgh for the past 12 years. Our last house is on the edge of the city but definitely in it. On rainy days Freeview only picked up 4 TV channels and when we moved out in 2019 there was still no cable so internet was glacially slow.

  • stone_cabin Stone Cabin (@stone_cabin) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Freeview TV reception has been awful in Portsmouth for months. It's getting worse. Please do something about it, your service is a joke.

  • juedan3 Julie (@juedan3) reported

    @ToshibaUSA when will the software be updated for the fire TV I purchased from @ArgosHelpers in October 22 re the picture flickering black. You say it's an issue with Freeview and the software on the tv

  • gurncrop gurncrop (@gurncrop) reported

    @AboutEG Might be worth following @DowndetectorUK. You will get alerts for things you don't care about, but it was a great early warning for today's Twitter problems, and that recent Freeview outage - answers the "is it just me?" question.

  • MarkSzczepansk3 Mark szczepanski (@MarkSzczepansk3) reported

    Couldn't get a good Freeview signal anyway

  • marfarfarquhar Martha (@marfarfarquhar) reported

    @johubris @jarrod__baker Ok I feel like a bit of an idiot, but it transpires the Freeview app is actually working on our tv now. I thought it’d been canned but I seem to have live tv.

  • Pawsaldo Pawsaldo the Unlucky Navy Breacher (@Pawsaldo) reported

    @Anth_Peace @JewelKnightJess its on Freeview, also they have their own on demand service that is free.

  • reviewsdino2 Dino’s Reviews (@reviewsdino2) reported

    @CaptainPikeachu @LeahyMichael43 It was so bad that UK Netflix got rid of it after three seasons and it had to be shown on freeview tv until Paramount+ debuted. It was purely made so a streaming service could have content.
