  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • McGuinnessKevin Kevin McGuinness  (@McGuinnessKevin) reported

    @SamsungHelpUK my Samsung 4K TV has developed white rings on the screen. It’s not the Sky Q box I’m using as the issue is still evident on apps, Apple TV box, and the Freeview tuner on the TV. It’s almost 4 years old I would think it should last longer than this.

  • Ike_Laudius Ike_Laudius (@Ike_Laudius) reported

    @Channel4 Please can you advise as to whether you are aware of issues regarding listings not being available on Freeview devices for the forthcoming weekend?

  • justacwab Just Another Cyclist (@justacwab) reported

    @4Viewers Is there a known issue with All4 on Freeview Play? I cant log on - can enter my email address, but the keys don’t register when putting in the password. Any ideas?

  • Dave_2603 David (@Dave_2603) reported

    @danwootton @GBNEWS Sky is a subscription based service yoire on freeview at a time when most people are watching other channels like the BBC

  • JohnGlazebrook7 John Glazebrook (@JohnGlazebrook7) reported

    @itvhubhelp @itvhub First download via Manhatten freeview ITV HUB. experienced buffering then connection losses. Report was ITV Hub at fault. Switched to Smart LG TV ITV HUB app. Better connection but buffering issues. Not happy to have to start watching again and sit through axshed load of ads.

  • skierlisa Lisa (@skierlisa) reported

    @TimoBorg13 Very upset as my WiFi is rubbish so I only got 2 mins and it froze on third attempt I have up, could it of been Alex's Buckinghamshire broadband adding to my rubbish area, to give you an idea how bad I have never seen Dave not even on Freeview

  • PaulCarmichaelV Paul Carmichael (@PaulCarmichaelV) reported

    @Harrison1Ron Excellent. So, how do you fund the Disabiiity Programmes Unit, educational resources and Freeview transmitter maintenance. Or do the disabled/poor/kids not matter? OR does this chap not actually know what the licence fee pays for, like so many others?

  • mtchknght8 MichaelMITCHKnight (@mtchknght8) reported

    @dansumption They’re being repeated on one of the **** late night Freeview channels (That’s TV / c65) Together with the original run (with Dandy Nicols Tony Booth & Una Stubs ) - which initially I found a bit *oppressive* to view (half out of concentrated ranting) but caught a subsequent

  • Andy12366183386 Andy 1234 (@Andy12366183386) reported

    @danwootton @GBNEWS 236 on Freeview is probably a number to far for everyone’s favourite Countdown star that never was.
