  • 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 👍

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported from Camberwell, England

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

  • 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!

  • 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 😂

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @loudouglas75 I have such shit freeview I only have itv2+1

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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😡

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

    @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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • 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

  • 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

    @wchannel thank god you go live on Freeview on Monday. That awful ad with Stacey Dooley is as annoying as someone dragging their nails down a chalkboard.

  • moss_phill Phillbo (@moss_phill) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice EX349DF number 13. Has there been problems with freeview in this area recently? I seem to keep losing channels on a daily basis and having to retune everyday and not getting back channels I previously had (which isnt many compared to other freeview users)

    @TommyGribbin @MaggieM76079577 Don't have sky. Want to watch footie I go to the pub. Sky is just a few hundred more channels of crap and we have enough rubbish on regular freeview telly.

  • ann_sequinworld Sequin World 💙 (@ann_sequinworld) reported

    @wchannel why are you even bothering? your programs are an unmitigated sea of brain-dead garbage that have already been shown on the other rubbish channels that pollute freeview

  • stoner1968 @Stoner #BackBoris100% (@stoner1968) reported

    @UKBeanzOnToast More and more people who only have #Freeview are seeing what the #FakeNewsMedia has been doing. The trouble with this is the trust has gone and we know the #ScumMedia is no longer impartial so @GOVUK has to step in to normalise it again @NadineDorries

    @FreeviewAdvice Still experiencing poor freeview signal in Long Buckby. @longbuckbynet

  • uncriticalsimon Simon 🥑🚟🚅😈💉💉💉 (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, Wales

    .@Freeview question - how come the PSB muxes aren’t treated equally? The BBC one and the HD one seem to have a much better signal from Wenvoe than the “normal” ITV one. (I can get Mendip off a random bit of metal.)
