    @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.

    @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

  • 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

    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!

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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😡

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

  • ChrisTheDJ Chris KEEP YOUR MASK ON Merriman (@ChrisTheDJ) reported

    @tepritchard Our IPTV is ridiculously over-regulated. Most countries have their Freeview equivalent available to stream already, free of charge. Freeview are moving that way (though billed as a "back up") but no firm dates yet, and as you say, Now is extremely locked down.

  • sc_timmy1180 Tim (@sc_timmy1180) reported

    @JoePalmerUK @itvhub Couldn't figure out how to do the Freeview on our new TV so on the net too. It's crap!

  • Marcus51300652 Marcus (@Marcus51300652) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam hi. I’m going into my final year of uni and I’d like some sort of recording box. I’ve tried freeview/sat but they’re bad. Can I get it for 12 months and not 18? I really don’t need it for 18 and I’m not sure if I can afford it. Also, do you still do Freesat by Sky?

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @ukdtt Remember CBM? The Freeview channel that had a caption 'Coming soon to Channel 22', but never launched.

  • stevend21607552 stevend21607552 (@stevend21607552) reported

    @BabestationTV Hi BS TV, why is Alice Goodwin on both channels on Freeview 673 and 674, isn't there suppose to be another babe on Ch. 674 on Freeview, has one of the channels got a technical problem, tweet back to me

  • erawneb Bware 🇬🇧🇪🇺🚹 (@erawneb) reported

    @Nigel_Farage I never thought I'd find a reason to be happy that my Freeview signal is too crap to pick up a channel.

  • FelixDiebus Felix Diebus (@FelixDiebus) reported

    @GBNEWS Please please please can someone fix the audio delay on the freeview channel..have persevered but find it unwatchable with the presenters lips so far out of synch with the video.

  • uncle_ebs DEXTA WAP (@uncle_ebs) reported

    Nah a man in shredded jinz and denim coat try embarrass her on Freeview, fok ****

  • ChrisBagguley Chris Bagguley💙 (@ChrisBagguley) reported

    @kevinsmall9 @BBCRadioStoke Now medium wave has gone there are only Freeview DAB and FM to choose from. Suppose they are going by interest and support. Personally Freeview works for me if Stoke were on there but expect whoever's at home between Vale and Crewe will get the Freeview slot.

  • krys1888 Krys 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇵🇱🇮🇪 (@krys1888) reported

    Oh nice, the Freeview BBC Scotland HD channel is offline so I guess I'm watching the game in SD. WTF.
