With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

@tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

@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.
J. Alfred Prufrock (@Stroudgreenguy) reported 52 minutes agofromTottenham, England
@Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.
Jens Fallesen (@JensFallesen) reported 56 minutes agofromHounslow, 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.

@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.
Greg (@Gpearce555) reported 4 minutes ago
Absolutely stupid that Amazon has made watching Parcs and Recreation now almost unbearable to watch because even though you still have prime you still have to watch it through their Freeview service so there's no way to get rid of the ads...
Phillip Busch (@KiwiBuschman) reported 5 minutes ago
@TVNZ morning. What's up with your Freeview signal for tv1, tv2 and Duke channels? No signal? But all good coming through sky?
Martha (@marfarfarquhar) reported 9 minutes ago
@johubris @jarrod__baker Ok I feel like a bit of an idiot, but it transpires the Freeview app is actually working on our tv now. I thought it’d been canned but I seem to have live tv.

@SirEdwardBooth @DavidPoulden You never paid the BBC , you paid TV Licencing which you need to pay to watch GBNews live on Freeview or Sattelite.

@AboutEG Might be worth following @DowndetectorUK. You will get alerts for things you don't care about, but it was a great early warning for today's Twitter problems, and that recent Freeview outage - answers the "is it just me?" question.

@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.
