  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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?

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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😡

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • djjohnyg Dj johny Garcia (@djjohnyg) reported from Richmond, England

    @itvhub Hello, I can’t seem yo be able to watch Live tv on the itv Hub on my Sony Android smart Tv. model Sony 49 KD49XH8196BU Smart 4K UHD LED Freeview TV, can you help please? @SonyTV @Sony

  • 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.

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, England

    @Richard92654559 Hi Richard, I am sorry to hear that you have been having issues with your Freeview channels. So we can look into this further can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • GalanthusA Angel (@GalanthusA) reported

    @GBNEWS Are you broadcasting at a reduced signal strength? For around a week I have been getting glitches affecting sound and picture and its so bad today its even affecting a set with a booster on it. All other channels are fine and I have tried re-tuning. I watch on Freeview

  • Raxor1Robin Robin Taylor (At home 🏡) (@Raxor1Robin) reported

    My #freeview is not working right the NW Granada transmission tower 🗼 seems to be kaput on a lot of the channels, #ohdear

  • rozlaws Roz Laws (@rozlaws) reported

    Does anyone I know on Twitter know about the tech of TV sets? I mainly watch it through my Sky box, but I can also get Freeview on terrestrial. That seemed to be hooked up via my VCR - yes, I still have one! Haven’t used it for years and now it seems to have broken, and… 1/2

  • ThaisSher Thais Sher (@ThaisSher) reported

    Hopefully it will regain Signal soon... Al Jazeera News is on the Freeview Channel list too on that TV but not BBC News...?! Ironic I guess...

  • evan_makeba Evan Makeba (@evan_makeba) reported

    That might be one of the first freeview football games and it was so bad I still want my money back.

  • rozlaws Roz Laws (@rozlaws) reported

    @jonnylaws1 No. Socket in wall connected to dish/aerial, which is connected to my box and is allowing me to watch tv that way. But I liked the option to also watch Freeview, handy if lots of progs on at same time. The ‘source’ on tv screen now says there’s no tv signal that way, not sure why

  • ChrissiBranson1 Chrissi Branson (@ChrissiBranson1) reported

    @AndyWilsonFS @MoneySavingExp Not all of them are essentials and what the OP might pay out for the flat. TV package is not essential that is what freeview is for. Service charges are not always paid for on flats as that normally covers areas of shared ownership eg hallways grass etc.

  • DougGore Douglas Gore (@DougGore) reported

    It's 2021 and there is still no sane way to have a streaming equivalent of Freeview or Freesat that can be accessed from a single UI. This is why public service broadcasting is dying.
