  • thelobsterboy Paul Smith (@thelobsterboy) reported from Manchester, England

    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • 2013jamiepep James Pepperd (@2013jamiepep) reported from St Helens, England

    I don't have an ariel or freeview I rely on your piece of shit @virginmedia #VirginMedia

  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • h_polba Helen Polba (@h_polba) reported

    @Michi_Midge Is this for television? We got rid of Sky Years ago as we realised what we watched was mostly available on Freesat and Freeview. We’ve never had wifi through them, we have Plusnet.

  • samjenright Sam Herdman (@samjenright) reported

    @virginmedia We get freeview on our tele. We got told that an engineer would come around within an alloted time, and they never arrived. We just got cables posted later that week. It's sad that Virgin don't look after their loyal customers, just charge them more every year.

    @JackEDavies Hi, Jack. Sorry to hear that you're having problems with Freeview Play. What's happening when you're trying to use the service? Fraser

  • Guy21Nerdy Joshua (@Guy21Nerdy) reported

    @niall_gooch 5 USA (Way down on freeview). Seems to be on as a double bill at weekends, so probably one to record.

  • Humour_ous Animal the return (@Humour_ous) reported

    @SKYNZ have you changed your neon platform for streaming its gone very slow & clunky for menu and such, my freeview/netflix/prime/skysportnow all good just your ap. My previous subscription verging on ending, was keen on continuing but now?

  • zumospiceed èama nic suibhne (@zumospiceed) reported

    as if this m video is the number 1 worst thing weans could watch when naked attraction is right there on freeview television

  • Platinumshuu ✦ Platinum ✦ (@Platinumshuu) reported

    @Bigpikachu1 @menarepretty @CosmonautMarcus You're legally required to hold a TV license if the house has a TV, I think is what you're thinking. Sky is not TV though, it's a service that has Freeview TV (actual, default TV and channels), as well as 100's more you pay for with whatever deal you signed up to them with.

  • DeniseFinkel Mrs. Deedy (@DeniseFinkel) reported

    @MGMRewards MGM+ been watching a freeview on sling. Looks good. Is it a new steaming service?

  • MJS_RADAR R.A.D.A.R. 🏏🏏🎾 - BeatCovid #WearAMask! 😷 (@MJS_RADAR) reported

    @ITVXhelp @ITVX Whilst I can't comment on the above devices, I can comment on Freeview Play. The Device I baught a mere 28 days ago WILL NEVER work #ITVX even though ITV Hub is installed. Therefore, for you to state, "If your TV had ITV Hub it will automatically upgrade to ITVX." is incorrect.

  • Jamesalk3 James Wilkinson (@Jamesalk3) reported

    Oh joy. The United game is on ITV4 which means there are two options for those with Freeview. Either watch on ITV4 SD, which has arguably the worst picture quality of any channel, or stream with a major delay on their awful @ITVX app.
