  • 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.

    @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?

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

  • 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

  • sospainter 🅿🅰🆄🅻 🅲🅾🅻🅻🅸🅴🆁 (@sospainter) reported from Whyteleafe, England

    @IanSlaterPhoto1 @VixThatRuns I have a sizeable Samsung. Ditched Virgin Media, the plan was to have Freeview. The tv doesn’t support Freeview!

  • 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.

  • casslovedheino Ronan (@casslovedheino) reported

    @bririley_70 Man you gotta love the account name. No false advertising there. Also, pretty sure this concept was done before on one of the late night freeview channels years ago. Think the bastard McKenzie was involved in the channel though so have never gone back there.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @Richard92654559 Hi Richard, I am sorry to hear that you have been having issues with your Freeview channels. So we can look into this further can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • ChewieD2 Graeme Hanks (@ChewieD2) reported

    @tstrachanedit I used to watch it every weekend when it was on freeview but could never justify the spend when it went behind a paywall. Couldn’t beat having a lazy Saturday with endless cuppa’s and just tv. Good times!

  • SkyNews Sky News (@SkyNews) reported

    ⏰ #COP26 is now only days away. But what should world leaders be focusing on? Present problems or future challenges? We'll be discussing this on the #DailyClimateShow with @Dr_Gilbz and @StanleyPJohnson. 🕡6:30pm 📺Sky 501/Freeview 233

  • tinopener1 tinopener (@tinopener1) reported

    @AyoCaesar Awww, don't be cruel. Put a little fish paste on the collar. Ash Sarkar! Ask Sarkar! You're going to be on GB News (freeview channel 236) next segment! It seems somebody may have taken issue with something you have said. Hmmmmmmmmm...

  • AuntieSyzygy Auntie 🦕 (@AuntieSyzygy) reported

    @SoupelinaJail Haven't seen Breaking Bad. Only have freeview stuff.

  • ChrissiBranson1 Chrissi Branson (@ChrissiBranson1) reported

    @AndyWilsonFS @MoneySavingExp Not all of them are essentials and what the OP might pay out for the flat. TV package is not essential that is what freeview is for. Service charges are not always paid for on flats as that normally covers areas of shared ownership eg hallways grass etc.

  • rozlaws Roz Laws (@rozlaws) reported

    Does anyone I know on Twitter know about the tech of TV sets? I mainly watch it through my Sky box, but I can also get Freeview on terrestrial. That seemed to be hooked up via my VCR - yes, I still have one! Haven’t used it for years and now it seems to have broken, and… 1/2

  • Swoody1500 Stuart Wood (@Swoody1500) reported

    @skytv no sky glass as vodafone broadband down, and TV won't pick up freeview as router still on

  • ThaisSher Thais Sher (@ThaisSher) reported

    Hopefully it will regain Signal soon... Al Jazeera News is on the Freeview Channel list too on that TV but not BBC News...?! Ironic I guess...
