    @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

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

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

  • 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 👍

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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😡

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Marmalord Marmalord (the) (@Marmalord) reported from Epsom and Ewell District, England

    @itvhub Humax FVP-4000T 1TB Freeview Set Top Box Recorder, and having to sign in more or less every time is making us all dislike Martin Freeman

  • 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 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

  • 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!

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

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

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

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

  • 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

  • ronniet240 Ronnie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 totally 🇬🇧 (@ronniet240) reported

    @toryman1979 We use to have Sky but realised we were paying to watch advertising when we could get for free on FreeView. No point paying twice for the same crap!

  • BenJohn45874515 Ben Johnson (@BenJohn45874515) reported

    I'm so glad I have satellite. Just been watching a bit of Freeview and a plane flew over and I lost signal. It's a bit like some of these issues with DAB.... nothing is as strong as it should be. Now I'm Netflix and chill.

  • playmistie4me Miss4Tune (@playmistie4me) reported

    My Sky contract runs out in May & so they are increasing prices. I only had phone line for internet & smallest TV package. If I cancel everything, I am left with freeview at least??.. Anyone know please? 🙏

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @IsraelHands2 If the problem persists it might be worth speaking with Freeview advice line on 03456 505050 as there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to get us.

  • embee200 Mark Anthony Cameron 🇬🇧 (@embee200) reported

    @VoiceofCal It's only if you watch or record live TV or watch anything on iPlayer which is the BBC's own video on demand service. This includes any channel broadcasting in the UK, Sky, freesat, even freeview tv-the channels preprogrammed into a TV when you buy it.

  • 2_Wheeled_Wolf @2_Wheeled_Wolf 🇪🇺 (@2_Wheeled_Wolf) reported

    @SherlocksSpring don't watch that crap, haven't since Wright did it. New name, same old bigoted **** from #ScourgeOfTheTvChannels who is no longer on my Freeview box. @gnomeicide

  • firebird7X3 Firebird7x3 #FBPE #FBPA #FBPR #FBPPR #StuffBrexit (@firebird7X3) reported

    @Helenmacca @helenamayb @NadineDorries They both make a lot of content these days but channel four already does that Big question is will it become subscription outside the TV licence in which case they will be depriving Freeview viewers of several channels & an online streaming service, hardly fair & worth pushing

  • djbwells Darren Wells (@djbwells) reported

    @SimonJeremyMil1 @ThatsTVOfficial Same down in the South of Uk. We watch on satellite but would be handy to get it on freeview

  • blogmywiki Ask Me About My Aeropress™️ (@blogmywiki) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Hi! Has something happened to your signal from Crystal Palace on Freeview? I can’t receive you on channel 82 any more. Retuning didn’t help.

  • gildy61 Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    @did_40 @lomelindi12 Can you both listen to the repeat of Health Check on the World Service at 1.30pm online via smart speaker, sounds, on DAB, Freeview? A very big feature on MS which seems to offer hope and it does seem reliable what they talk about it.
