    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

  • 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

  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • nessymon Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England

    @MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.

  • 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.

  • UB5simon Simon Bye 🐟🔶 (@UB5simon) reported from Southall, England

    All those **** channels on Freeview and it's BBC News HD that gets the chop 🤔

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

    @m_arthur1 Hi Mick, Apologies for the delay in response. We are currently investigating the issue. Could you please DM your postcode to Freeview Advice. Melissa

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    If Freeview channels do get together to launch a joint streaming service, they could have pop-up channels for specific events like on iPlayer. Then if live events like the W Series are delayed, they could be streamed rather than going off air.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @PaulDel70889969 Hi Paul, Sorry to learn you have no Freeview reception. We are currently investigating the issue and speaking with all relevant parties to resolve the issue. Melissa

  • BusinessBullet1 Business Bulletin (@BusinessBullet1) reported

    @timmckane If you watch daytime Freeview TV, then you could be zombies in no time - it's that bad, no wonder the Englanders think Bozo is Brill

  • dwy6613 Dan Young (@dwy6613) reported

    Well, that's one way of clearing the 16 films on my Freeview recorder... After almost 10 years of good service it died today, taking the recorded films with it. Just ordered a replacement (and a new stereo to replace the 22 year old one that keeps skipping when playing CDs)

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I've got the DM. I've tried for another transmitter but nothing. Guess waiting game or Sky subscription, shame was enjoying Freeview service

  • zawenaeb ZAWENA B (@zawenaeb) reported

    I swear #skybroadband is down at least every other week... was working fine until now. Wanted to watch something on freeview play but my smart TV runs off WiFi and currently have none. Good luck to my older sister who works remotely/from home with no WiFi shew screwed.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @FurnessGirl @BBCNWT @GranadaReports Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. If you can DM us your postcode and house name or number we can look into this further.
