    @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

  • 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 😂

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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?

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • FreeFilmsUK FreeFilms UK (@FreeFilmsUK) reported

    Bad news bears, this morning's showing of Three Colors: Red (1994) starring Joseph Fiennes as Bebop has been abandoned due to the only good actor being a dead actor. #freeview

  • deeplyclassical The Symphonist (@deeplyclassical) reported

    I see @smithsonian channel which my 88-year-old mum loves, has gone from Freeview and the programmes are now only on paid-for streaming services which her poor eyesight means she can't use. So thanks for that.

  • alsmiff Alsmiff (@alsmiff) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Are there any issues in SS6? We’ve had no freeview channels for over 24 hours now.

  • Topaz_Jules Julie (@Topaz_Jules) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice we seem to have lost our freeview HD channels on all our TVs in PL7, is this a known issue?

  • CatIpswich Toby the Cat (Ipswich) (@CatIpswich) reported

    @last_of_england I never knew what to think of the film. It left me feeling quite depressed. If they screen it on Freeview, I'll give it a try.

  • lhsaapso1 Jennifer Johnson (@lhsaapso1) reported

    @virgosam70 Jeremy Kyle was on the Liverpool TV channel causing trouble for Harry I switched off as soon as I heard Kyle putting Harry down, he lost his job on the Jeremy Kyle show for being abusive, now Kyle is being abusive on the Liverpool freeview channel, he too is vile and abhorrent.

  • UKTVPlayHelp UKTV Play Help (@UKTVPlayHelp) reported

    @FO2D_ All right, can you come back to us if you still see the issue tomorrow after lunch? It looks like freeview servers (where you get the ads from) did have some issue today so it could explain why you got few issues.

  • Mighty_Shipp Stairface Ogre (@Mighty_Shipp) reported

    @Lydiarosesteph you never had to pay for it, even in your situation you can just use itvx for free, the subscription removes ads and have extra content but watching live and love island are available for free. also freeview is free so i don't understand why u wouldn't have it if u have a tv

  • greenbenjamin Benjamin Green (@greenbenjamin) reported

    @ITVXhelp @ITVX Thanks, but that’s not a great deal of help as Freeview Play is listed, but just says ‘some devices not supported’. Why would the software not be written to work on devices that might be a few years older but still being sold? Or is it just not been sorted yet?

  • gibluap Paul Riley (@gibluap) reported

    @itvMLshow Broadband, ours is typed to landline, TV and BB, TV we cannot receive Freeview, so our options are cable or satellite. My package was due to increase to £118, got offered a deal with Gigabit and £30 off, down to £88, then got it reduced to £78, ismybill fair down to £68.
