    @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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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😡

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

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

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • Marmalord Marmalord (the) (@Marmalord) reported from Epsom and Ewell District, England

    @itvhub Humax FVP-4000T 1TB Freeview Set Top Box Recorder, and having to sign in more or less every time is making us all dislike Martin Freeman

  • Beige29 Dark_Beige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    @Disco_Squirrel I’ve got the shitty EE freeview box and it’s one of the apps on there, but never used

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍

  • 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.

  • PhilipMichaelC2 Philip Michael Chapman (@PhilipMichaelC2) reported from Croydon, England

    @PanasonicUK I have Panasonic Viera TV set now the Sony Crime Channel on Freeview channel 40 has moved to channel 60 but when I click on 60 all I get is Loading Interactive Service then the screen goes blank can you help me please or send an engineer

  • Beige29 Beige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

  • 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

  • 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.

  • LeonSymnz Leo (@LeonSymnz) reported

    @toobbroadband All the clowns complaining they can't watch it... Either watch it on Freeview/sky/VM or on your phone/tether. Stop making such a ******* fuss you clowns That said, communication would have been nice. Any ETA? Or info on the issue?

  • Jules_Clarke Rouge Noir (898) (@Jules_Clarke) reported

    loads of channels on freeview blip blip and fail , but beeb and others dont. I have issues with horror channel when it decides go wonk. it shouldnt

  • BaikieRachel Rachel Honeyman Baikie (@BaikieRachel) reported

    @TalkTalk please reply to my private message. I’m NOT paying a £172 exit fee when I’ve only got talk talk set up on 23rd June & the service has been shocking! No freeview channels found, internet so slow that I can’t even watch Netflix without it freezing every couple of minutes

  • anjack91 anita Jaeckel (@anjack91) reported

    @possetrobbo5 @n_groom Wrong. If you watch or record 'live' TV on any channel – either through your TV or through a website or app – then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home.

  • brenmclarke Brendan Clarke (@brenmclarke) reported

    I’ve just tuned in to @GBNEWS for the first time since it’s opening night to see why it’s trending. Watching on Freeview Ch 236 and they’ve still got sound problems. Not only is it too quiet there’s a lip synch issue. I’m surprised they’ve not sorted these teething problems.

  • Melisandre6 Melisandre #JusticeMatters (@Melisandre6) reported

    @Raptor_Judy @Cynical_CJ I've got Virgin Cable & Freeview & Netflix and Now TV but there's always another service. Anyhoose, I don't think they do Hulu in the UK. Recently just got Now on a cheep deal but the only decent show is Game of Thrones & I seen it 10 times.

  • hollybuddy01 Jon S. Robb (@hollybuddy01) reported

    Freeview Anyone else having problems with receiving a signal? I cannot get anything not even radio?

  • NausicaasPsyche NausicaasPsyche (@NausicaasPsyche) reported

    no, resetting your smart tv will not fix your catch up issues. -reload your freeview stations. -enter your passwords. -that's the wrong password (no it's not netflix). -log into your email to reset your password. -reenter your password. do not try this at home 😭😭

  • dazzalaa17 Dazzalaa (@dazzalaa17) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Freeview in the Yorkshire provided by Arqiva is probably the worst service I have ever encountered! Constantly moving and deleting channels you can't keep up! Clubland TV and Now 90's completely disappeared from channel 271? And that is just the start!

  • thesausagekerb The Sausage Kerb (@thesausagekerb) reported

    Only 1000 spectators are allowed to be at @krcircuit for @OfficialBSB this weekend. What a shame. Please support the series and @krcircuit by watching on the 'Quest' Channel. Quest is available on Freesat 167, Sky 144, Freeview 37 and Virgin 172 #Superabikes #KnockhillBSB
