  • 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 😂

  • 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.

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • JEFFREY03296741 JEFFREY PHILLIPS (@JEFFREY03296741) reported from Brentford, England

    @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?

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • pop_hill Pop (@pop_hill) reported

    @SkyNews Can I connect my BluRay player to it, and is there a Freeview tuner in case the internet goes down?

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    @danowen79 @LukeCustardtv NOW sent me a questionnaire about this a little while ago. Sounds like a great TV. I especially like the built-in soundbar. But as a pay-lite customer, I wouldn't pay for full Sky. And no Freeview tuner rules me out.

  • steeleyp_ PS (@steeleyp_) reported

    @anditsinthere_7 @TheEverydayMan_ @SkyUK You're left with a 48-month credit agreement for a TV tied to the Sky OS. You don't even get all Freeview channels or an aerial socket on the back. No satellite tuner so unless you LIVE for Sky and plan to NEVER cancel, it'd be a huge waste of money.

  • drebee88 Dre ® (@drebee88) reported

    Anyone else's free view just now showing signal. Or is it just mine. #freeview

  • Mr_0151 ☃️ (@Mr_0151) reported

    We had tv wallahi I’m talking freeview we never had cable as they say...

  • PATVOne1 P.A.T.V. Scunthorpe (@PATVOne1) reported

    @Markylad29 @boxhits @4Music Unfortunately for now it isn’t permanent, just a back up as 4Music is still off air following issues at Red Bee Media… but you never know, Box Plus may see the interest in having a second channel on Freeview

  • naughtysaintni1 naughtysaintnick (@naughtysaintni1) reported

    @dan63uk Some places don’t have the signal to get all of the freeview channels. When I used to stay in some places in Wales you’d be lucky to get 20 channels, depending where area.

  • Terrywhittingh8 Terrywhittingham (@Terrywhittingh8) reported

    @FreeviewTV The Yesterday channel has disappeared from my TV. To start with the message said "no signal". When I retuned, it said " invalid channel". I've done a Freeview check using my postcode, but that said no outages in my area. Any hints on how to get Yesterday back.

  • CaptainBurgers Big captain (@CaptainBurgers) reported

    Really disappointed in Freeview just spent 45 minutes tuning the box to find that it’s broken! When I click on the BBC section I’m greeted with old people baking not young strapping black men with large dongs like on my iPad #BBC

    Is freeview down? @FreeviewTV
