    Some days I really wish I'd kept all those calls to @JimDavisOnAir on my freeview box. I've been sent way back in time with a USB memory stick, a few years back with some calls. Damn, I really miss those days with the song choice and #JimDavisLive And it was just brilliant radio

    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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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

  • UB5simon Simon Bye 🐟🔶 (@UB5simon) reported from Southall, England

    All those **** channels on Freeview and it's BBC News HD that gets the chop 🤔

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

  • ChonjiGraham Graham Pitkin (@ChonjiGraham) reported

    @robbeckettcomic So not on Freeview? Can't. Oh well, never mind.

  • BarclayWrongans SensibleSteve (@BarclayWrongans) reported

    @LittleBoats2020 I cannot fathom the complacency of the British over this but the big problem is that the media cover up is working. A Freeview channel would be nice with back 2 back footage as seen on here of the slimy little wrongans getting caught every day of the ******* week.

  • wildetrousers Gert Wildetrousers (@wildetrousers) reported

    @domjoly Les Dawson is always being repeated on Freeview. WTF is that victim on about? Benny Hill on every night at the moment

  • DawsePaws dawse (@DawsePaws) reported

    Public service announcement: Am watching 'Kenny Everett New Year 1979' show on Freeview 'That's TV" chan 65. I think Bowie is on soon.

  • BlueberriesRok Léonie #GirlySwot 🔶 🇺🇦 (@BlueberriesRok) reported

    @dem_cath The TV's awful this year. We're all going through a rubbish time, TV should be a welcome distraction for a day or so, but they are just showing rubbish. I have freeview and it's all like this, sadly. I hope your book makes you smile.

  • sugarcanebook E. E. Fry (@sugarcanebook) reported

    @virginmedia Also, losing all of our recorded programmes and movies yet again, unable to pre record any Xmas TV or movies, losing all of our favourites and our series links. FreeView and catch up have rendered the Tivo service sold to us as obsolete and we've not been offered any compensation

  • jonhughes_72 Jon (@jonhughes_72) reported

    What is it with feeling like crap and the correlation with crap TV. Can't be doing with Netflix or films, but instead I'm in the depths of freeview staring at family fortunes and a place in the sun.

  • PhilJDore Phil Dore 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇦 (@PhilJDore) reported

    My washing machine is now fixed, but I'm gonna nope out anyway lads, as my Freeview signal has gone rubbish in the wet weather we're having at the moment. #CovideoWed

  • _philjohn Philip John (@_philjohn) reported

    @SteveCo12420968 TV License also pays for the transmitter network used by all other TV stations on Freeview.

  • maisiemaria_ maisie (@maisiemaria_) reported

    So we don’t have a TV license because all we watch is Netflix, YouTube and Disney + but now I want to watch **** evening TV so I’m gonna get a license and freeview. Question: is freeview something I can pay for and download or do I need a box or whatever x
