  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

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

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

  • 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!

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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😡

  • 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 Beige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    @loudouglas75 I have such shit freeview I only have itv2+1

  • 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.

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

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

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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

  • airlineboy666 Graham (@airlineboy666) reported

    @janetrmason @BBCBreakfast @sallynugent I suspect most of those families have full sky packages, iPhones and other luxuries. We eat well and cheaply BUT I have to use Freeview and I cannot afford a £100's top rated phone. My families goes without nothing BUT we live to our means. I witness many who claim to be poor...

  • GeoffBrewer Geoff Brewer @RenewParty #FBPE #APPG @MakeVotesMat (@GeoffBrewer) reported

    2/ the EE TV service. What are other formerly happy EE TV clients feeling about and doing about this? Is there any way we can continue to use the EE TV box for receipt, recording Freeview programmes etc ?

  • phoneaccount125 Jon (@phoneaccount125) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi I have lost BBC on Freeview is there any problems?

  • Arsenal0819 Arsenal Mania (@Arsenal0819) reported

    To really bring football back to fans and boot the rich out of football - all matches to be shown on freeview channels I’m sure SKY will support this 🤡

  • chrisalfw Chris Williams (@chrisalfw) reported

    @PhilWilliams These channels have not said no, they have said they havent been approached as yet. I opposed the creation of the Premier League but i support this Super League. Inevitable it will be on a streaming provider rather than Freeview, Cable or Satellite.

  • batrobi Goingincognito 3.5% FBPE 🖤🇪🇺🇮🇹🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 (@batrobi) reported

    @Philips No unfortunately. Lots of going around in circles. Searched the web & it seems lots of people are having same problem with aspect ratio in smart/on demand/freeview play mode, and no solution. Settings changes don’t apply. Maybe a bug on your OS? I returned and went for Samsung 😢

  • BoroPessimist Marcus (@BoroPessimist) reported

    @longman751y2 @Paul_Coull87 @SkySportsNews Exactly the Championship has had big well supported clubs in it and the highlights are on some nothing freeview channel, and the live games get awful figures on sky. Without the big clubs the remaining leagues and clubs will die. Let them get the proportional revenue they deserve

  • Adrianchard72 Adrian Chard (@Adrianchard72) reported

    Love's this film.. Mosquito Squadron starting 16:30 Paramount Network, Ch (32) Freeview #Avgeeks #Raf

  • Sean7032efc seanefc (@Sean7032efc) reported

    @Tigga1878 @captainfriendz1 @vintage1878 Freeview they said **** all free about it

  • H_MOORE4 Hugh (@H_MOORE4) reported

    @SBunching I disagree, more football is available to watch than ever but virtually none is on free to air. 1st Prem game I watched live was actually in a stadium, we didn’t have Sky in my house so I never had the opportunity. I became a fan through FA cup and champs league games on freeview
