    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

    @FreeviewAdvice any advice?Unable to watch terrestrial tv properly since Winter Hill update in August. Retuned Humax box and Hisense tv numerous times but still an issue #winterhill #freeview #

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • bulldogbyrne julie byrne (@bulldogbyrne) reported from Hindley, England

    Why do I keep paying for TV service which is shit @BTGroup I get better service on indoor freeview aerial

  • MikeBates04 Mike 🇬🇧 #Britishindependent (@MikeBates04) reported from Manchester, England

    @NetflixUK as gone shit pay to see old flims that you get free on Freeview so what's the point 👊👊👊👊👊

  • MaryMares81 mary whitfield (@MaryMares81) reported from Salford, England

    @FreeviewAdvice we have lost the majority of freeview channels having retuned a few times. Used the availability checker which says channels should be available, can you help? Thanks

  • groovicat groovicat 💚 (@groovicat) reported from Adlington, England

    @Sillyshib Heartbeat, ssshhh, it's never been off. You can watch Heartbeat every day on freeview

  • Like47 Les Dawson and me #JC4PM2019 #LabourActivist (@Like47) reported from Manchester, England

    @gary_worden @cjssydney @cptcapitalg @FrogAlaPeche Poor people either don't have a TV or watch freeview.

  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • CanveyViews Canvey Views (@CanveyViews) reported

    Trying to work out what causes the interence on UHF 21 474 MHz during the day on Canvey Island. Can't all be down to atmospherics. Would be interested to hear if anyone has any ideas about this issue. It seems to make the Kent freeview comux unwatchable here during daylight hours

  • Pinklady66 Snoopy (@Pinklady66) reported

    @Sarahca34957734 @virginmedia @virginmedia that is a very good question . Why cant was the #ChauvinTrial not shown live on your network ?? Why are the freeview channels not on .???

  • corfgar GarJam 🇬🇷 (@corfgar) reported

    @chiddyj @virginmedia Leave them then rejoin as a new customer later........ Freeview for a month then back to a deal you'd have no chance of getting as a customer.

  • KarenHu04464593 Karen Hudson (@KarenHu04464593) reported

    @FinancialReview @FreeviewAU Freeview is not working properly menu wont go away, still just loads and loads I have had to switch over to Telstra Box just to watch tv. Thanks for that

  • Fetch13 Andrew Bell (@Fetch13) reported

    I've been watching various reruns of Star Trek on freeview. And I can't help from wondering why the Enterprise doesn't have an IT department or at least why Starfleet Engineering doesn't have an IT division.

  • toaoan Maiden Auntie (@toaoan) reported

    @chronicjayne @ITV So frustrating, but I have seen a couple of people on here say they didn't have any problems watching on Freeview. I was on Sky, how about you?

  • whiplashgrace Grace Rutherford (@whiplashgrace) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Never use freeview

  • TheRoundhead42 John Harrison 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 (@TheRoundhead42) reported

    @Nettleshippy I don't know many people who only have four or five channels. In fact, I don't know any. Freeview has dozens. Licence payers don't get to dictate content; never have. It was one day. Making a formal complaint seems OTT

  • christhejani Chris Lincoln (@christhejani) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi I am getting no picture from Freeview on any channel just a message saying the receiver is not getting a signal or the signal is week

  • Bohemoth Bohemoth (@Bohemoth) reported

    @AnasSarwar If the TV licence was abolished and replaced with paid ads, the option to subscribe would be there and the elderly could simply have freeview. NO TV LICENCE and you could concentrate on real issues. This is like NO. 1050 on the list of things needing addressed. Get SNP OUT!
