  • 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...😳

  • 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:

  • AlDumas6 AlDumas (@AlDumas6) reported

    @MartinSLewis Don’t have any streaming services. I can watch a couple of hundred channels of utter crap on freeview/freesat or free online, or pay stupid money to watch several thousand channels of even more utter crap.

  • shortflyslip Andrew (@shortflyslip) reported

    @robert_t_bruce I guess the real issue is that there doesn't appear to be a decent like-for-like replacement for VodafoneTV. Some options include the Freeview streaming app, but that is hugely undermined because it will be shutting down later in the year.

  • DaveLGilmore David Gilmore (@DaveLGilmore) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Please make an Xbox app for encore. It would compete me (terrible freeview reception means I can’t get the broadcast channel)

  • eugene_doherty Eugene Doherty (@eugene_doherty) reported

    @haroldthimbleby Some years back when we had broadband I thought I'd have a look at freeview via aerial to save money but couldn't get a signal. Then when weeding one day I found a coiled up coax cable where next door had been working on their gutters, cut the cable and just decided to hide it.

  • Sarah_Lady Sarah Lady💙 (@Sarah_Lady) reported

    @BazTheHaff Yeah that’s the problem, we can’t usually get a picture properly with freeview so just stream all our telly through the apps.

  • AJdeVries2 AJ de Vries (@AJdeVries2) reported

    I noticed whenever they show foreigners speaking Mandarin on Freeview TV28 it's always foreign men, some of whom are even married to Chinese women😒. But they never seem to show foreign women speaking the language, let alone with Chinese boyfriends/husbands.

  • FramptonRoz Roz Frampton (@FramptonRoz) reported

    @BBC No, because we can't see anything! There have been so many Freeview outages, again today. We've had days & days of no service. Can't get terrestrial or other channels. The old TVs were far better in terms of reliability. Now, planes affect service, weather affects service, etc.

  • portybella Dudley's Butler (@portybella) reported

    @kendo491 Any streaming service provided it isn't "live streaming" Gave up TV license years ago Have Freeview Netflix Britbox Acorn Paramount + Prime IMDB etc I share my subscriptions with family as most will allow 5 profiles over 4 separate devices Splits the cost

  • RichardGB76 Richard G. Bartholomew (@RichardGB76) reported

    I am going to treat this Chinese takeaway just like I treated the ten minute freeview on TV X and The Adult Channel when I was a teenager: plan to drag it out for as long as possible, but I know I'll be finished in under two minutes! #TheOneShow #EURO2022

  • BerniKennedy Bernardine Kennedy (Maxwell) (@BerniKennedy) reported

    I'm getting twitchy already... neighbours have scaffolding all around their house and its totally taken down our Sky signal. No TV. For at least four weeks. Even Freeview won't work. No Corrie. No Judge Judy. Nothing. #bereft #tvaddicted
