  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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

  • 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

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    Time for the BBC to close down the BBCNews channel as they always seem to put it on BBC1 at same time WHY as BBCNews is available on sky freesat and freeview you dont need it on BBC1

  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • 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.

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

    @bt_uk I got a problem it's not my fault and it's not BT issue I lost a lot of Freeview channels in my flat I went to no cancel and said you can have a dish because aerials are very bad in your area where you live we've had a lot of people coming to us about the same problem

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DanielCreminUK Daniel Cremin ✂️ (@DanielCreminUK) reported

    @mistylou43 News UK TV is said to be an evening time only service. My understanding is it will be on Freeview, Sky, Virgin and YouTube, etc. Free to air, but advertising based. GB News will be either 18 or 24 hours and will similarly be cross platform. Real choice is coming.

  • NathanChorley nathan (@NathanChorley) reported

    @BeeBelindaSmith @FreeviewAdvice Hi I've also lost Sony channel on freeview.. Is this a known issue?

  • Pickat33 Mrs Slocombe (@Pickat33) reported

    @Article1066 @HookyGolfer I rang sky to ask to have bbc/itv removed but they just said it’s a freeview service and they can’t. It’s annoying as I pay for prime, Netflix and Disney

  • McsheenMartin martin mcsheen (@McsheenMartin) reported

    We live in a digital age. I can find three hundred and twelvety channels of **** on the most basic freeview TV. How on earth could we get lessons to pupils en masse ?

  • Bad_cyclist 💧Jeepman🔥🚗 (@Bad_cyclist) reported

    @abc730 So ABC have renounced news in favour of divisive opinions on what people want. I’m thankful Twitter allows me to avoid the need to wade through the Freeview crap passed off as news.

  • EileenTurner8 Eileen Turner (@EileenTurner8) reported

    @rorybremner This sounds like an excellent idea. It works for all children if its on freeview without the need for Internet. The only problem I can see is getting someone to take it on quickly.

  • little_mavis Mary Wombat 🐝 (@little_mavis) reported

    @miss_mcinerney The govt could have negotiated access to a Freeview channel for their beloved Oak & sidestepped at least some of the issues with internet access

  • tizzycartel tizzycartel (@tizzycartel) reported

    When I was younger Wealthy: sky box Poor: Freeview

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @gsvalentine @steveboswell I've also seen TVs that won't support MHEG Text in Freeview Play mode, but happily show it when connected to a satellite feed. (2/2)

  • befriendabacter Matt Lloyd Jones (@befriendabacter) reported

    @MilesKing10 I think they discontinued iPlayer/4OD support for PS3 so might be this. Freeview box might be a workaround?
