  • 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😡

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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?

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    Ahead of BBC Four HD and CBeebies HD moving Freeview multiplexes later this month. Two new Service IDs - 18046 for BBC Four HD and 18176 for CBeebies HD have popped up on mux PSB3/BBC-B. Freeview users will soon be invited to retune their TV and/or boxes, likely 3rd week of June.

  • itvhubhelp ITV Hub Help (@itvhubhelp) reported

    @nicxari @itvhub Hiya, we provide subtitles through the major web browsers, or on iOS/Android. We also have support on some TV devices such as Samsung, Apple TV and Freeview Play but we're keen to get this support expanded to more TV devices!

  • TraceyLeeAU graduated TraceyLee 🎓🎉 (@TraceyLeeAU) reported

    @TheWalkindude77 @maesy5 It’s bad enough my interstate membership no longer gives me access to non-freeview matches … Dees rarely play in NSW so if I want to attend a game I have to PLAN!

  • BradTRC BradTRC (@BradTRC) reported

    @Mark56623345 @a516digital Last time I used Freeview religiously was in 2015 - as we used it alongside Sky due to bad weather. Now due to upgrades in Sky’s technology, particularly Q, there is no point for me. The only time I would use Freeview is if my Mini boxes went down, and that fixes itself quickly!

  • alexschristian Alex Christian (@alexschristian) reported

    @CharlieFBBaker1 This test is between my two national sides and has been incredibly stupid, which is brilliant. I should be allowed to watch it on Freeview

  • CraigTvBug 🄼🅁🄱🅄🄶 (@CraigTvBug) reported

    It’s 2022, drop the SD channels and encourage people to upgrade. SD freeview is unwatchable it’s so bad.

  • TheBlueUlysses Katy (@TheBlueUlysses) reported

    @JenOnTheMoveUK @PaulWhitewick @All4 Similarly I found it hard to watch ITV4 live, not-on-freeview. Which is crap for the resolution.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @BradTRC @a516digital Someone at work I know got fed up with the faffing about with freeview, looked into getting sky glass. Problem was his broadband provider was very unreliable after several goes to get glass working. He was about to give up. Until it was suggested changing the provider.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @BradTRC @a516digital My quick fix to freeview is use freesat it has exactly the same channels as freeview, plus extras as bonus.
