  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

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

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

  • 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

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • JEFFREY03296741 JEFFREY PHILLIPS (@JEFFREY03296741) reported from Brentford, 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?

  • RegenerateAndy Andy Smith (@RegenerateAndy) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Channel ‘Pick’ on freeview. Never heard of it before but grateful for it tonight #chelsea

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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😡

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • andybrown300 Andy Brown (@andybrown300) reported

    @brianmoore666 Quality of the red button feed on Freeview is very poor. Like watching through the bottom of a beer glass ...

  • libertyIAB Liberty (@libertyIAB) reported

    I've actually looked at the TV schedule bc it's Easter, I thought they may have done something a little special... Have they ****! I'm so pleased I'm not reliant on freeview 😳 It's streaming & reading, for me forever now I guess...

  • brianmoore666 Brian Moore (@brianmoore666) reported

  • NOWHelpTeam NOW Help Team (@NOWHelpTeam) reported

    @petew2804 Hi Peter, Whether you've got a Smart Box with Freeview or a Smart Box with 4K and Voice Search, you'll find the reset button on the bottom of your Box. For a factory reset, hold the button down for about 6 seconds.

  • stinky_mitten Nightshift (@stinky_mitten) reported

    @LongCjlsackley1 I have Sky broadband & have very few problems. I got rid of Sky TV & now have Freeview. I also have Netflix & Amazon Prime but not all Progs even old stuff is free on Amazon.

  • pcttons fugitive era ☼ (@pcttons) reported

    sunshine on leith with george mackay in it is such a terrible musical movie but if it’s on the freeview tv guide i’ll watch it 😭

  • Pauljohnsoneggs Paul Johnson (@Pauljohnsoneggs) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Thanks for the info but resetting the box does not help. The new update and software installed is too much for these black boxes. Are you not releasing a better box to support such an update ? The 4k box doesnt have freeview, not sure why it's even a box..... thank you!

  • auto_tech_pilot caroline mckenzie (@auto_tech_pilot) reported

    @daztraction @smokeybarkid Which is fine while Sky Arts is still on Freeview, a problem when that (inevitably) stops...

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @LeafNWS @a516digital I know what leaf network is getting at, like what I found out about getting ip. Yes you can get freeview play etc, but it's not free after paying an ISP.! It's like getting channel box, it's free, once you pay your ISP.
