    @Sp0ngebucket @virginmedia I wish I was technically minded, I'd do that. Ours isn't recording anything we have to watch it the next day on catchup. How do I watch freeview? ps really appreciate your help 🙏

  • oddurbauer Oddur Gunnarsson Bauer (@oddurbauer) reported

    @GoonerWaffle @LauraKirk12 Just a quick pointer from an Icelandic native, you can get the Freeview channels here if you get your internet service through a company called Kapalvæðing.

  • cllr_LeGresley Nigel Le Gresley (@cllr_LeGresley) reported

    @GBNEWS I am now streaming my TV through BT as our aerial reception of various Freeview channels is poor, especially in bad weather. That means we have the channels THEY give us and GB News is not available. This is discrimination in the extreme and you should take it up with BT.

    @AnneCardwell4 Sorry to hear about the problems receiving Freeview though if you aren't happy with what the broadcasters are putting out, you would get in touch with the broadcaster in question. Fraser

    FREEVIEW | My main aim is to help the team - Blackett Tyler Blackett sat down with iFollow Millers after penning a deal until the end of the 2022/23 campaign. #rufc | #ForeverTogetherForeverProud

  • Hellcidlives Hellcid (@Hellcidlives) reported

    @WheresWilly8 @Notregistered66 @Maxaretunit And the signal goes on the Mendip tower leaving people unable to watch Freeview

  • Fishy2007 Douglas Sinclair (@Fishy2007) reported

    @Buzzjunkie29 @andalg1 I know I've been banging on about this for ages, a cup final in Scotland on Sunday and nothing on the Freeview network yet tonight the choice of two English cup matches, it's ******* awful.

  • KiwiBuschman Phillip Busch (@KiwiBuschman) reported

    @TVNZ morning. What's up with your Freeview signal for tv1, tv2 and Duke channels? No signal? But all good coming through sky?

  • lostinfens1 lostinfens (@lostinfens1) reported

    @DanielFooksArt Twitter's a bit like flicking through Freeview channels. Most of it is crap, some of it is harmful but occasionally it's educational or even uplifting. It's also the top venue to make a **** of yourself after 1 too many shandies.

    @angefitzpatrick @libmichelle I have lived IN Edinburgh for the past 12 years. Our last house is on the edge of the city but definitely in it. On rainy days Freeview only picked up 4 TV channels and when we moved out in 2019 there was still no cable so internet was glacially slow.

  • bean0509 Justine (@bean0509) reported

    @MacLiv Yeah I mainly just wanted Sky broadband but even that I’m going to cancel. Freeview channels are good aren’t they! As long as we get CBeebies then we’re happy xxxx

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @pauljonesking Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with the Freeview Play service. So we can look into this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • MarkSzczepansk3 Mark szczepanski (@MarkSzczepansk3) reported

    Couldn't get a good Freeview signal anyway

  • Pawsaldo Pawsaldo the Unlucky Navy Breacher (@Pawsaldo) reported

    @Anth_Peace @JewelKnightJess its on Freeview, also they have their own on demand service that is free.

  • BrittasFan The Brittas Empire Fanpage (@BrittasFan) reported

    @scott_gamer @Page_888 @dramachannel I can't watch Gold, because we only have Freeview. Is it true that they air never-ending repeats of Only Fools and Horses?
