Freeview Outage in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, England

With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

I will never have normal freeview tv

Channel ‘Pick’ on freeview. Never heard of it before but grateful for it tonight #chelsea

@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

@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

@njvns That’s so shit. It’s literally called freeview and yet it’s not free

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

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!

@virginmedia once again trying to contact virgin media is a no go a proper waste of time contract has run out trying to cancel they have put the money up to £60 a month for basically 2 freeview boxes I have cancelled my direct debit which is due on the 7 april what a scam😡

@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.

@leksi_p Correct. If you do not have Freeview, Sky or Virgin (or any other cable service), you should not need to pay if you never watch it.

To be honest, when you've removed the dependency of other real time tv, i cant see many people chipping in. Many will be paying just to watch their subscription service or Freeview.

@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.

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

Now I have the truly truly shit @EE freeview package (literally the worst selection of channels on earth but boy is it cheap broadband) I only watch the main 5 channels or SVOD. W, Dave, ITV2 etc are dead to me

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

@DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

@loudouglas75 I have such shit freeview I only have itv2+1

@itvhub Humax FVP-4000T 1TB Freeview Set Top Box Recorder, and having to sign in more or less every time is making us all dislike Martin Freeman

@Disco_Squirrel I’ve got the shitty EE freeview box and it’s one of the apps on there, but never used

@putasinghonit Just pay £28 for WiFi. I got rid of my sky tv package (was £98) and just opted for £13 NOWTV (entertainment and movies), Netflix, D+, Prime etc as well as usual freeview channels. Never looked back

@YarnallKate Ok, You are watching us on Sky SD, we are still on channel 103 but only in HD, to receive us on Sky channel 103 you’ll need to upgrade to an HD service by contacting Sky. If you don’t want to upgrade we are on Freeview HD and Freesat HD - free no subscription service.

@ryleydavison I had a sky box but no subscription, was just fancy freeview. Used to go down and still the card when my parents fell asleep

@YarnallKate @itvanglia @GMB Hello, I’ve looked into this. If you are watching on the ‘ plus one’ service you’ll get Meridian, of if you are watching on HD Freeview, also defaults to Meridian. Hope this helps 🤞

@SkyHelpTeam I also don't have freeview, but I think the tv has freeview in it. Is it just as simple as taking the HDMI cable out the back of my current tv and into the back of my new one? Coz I can do that no problem. With tv off obviously

TV reception seems to of fixed itself. Had a couple of weeks of poor freeview reception recently.

I’ve sent a third email to the building management about our lack of freeview signal. I have left out the part about where I am unable to watch Talking Pictures and CBS Drama and it’s pissing me off now.

@dancludlow Never thought of it even. Not that worried, there'll be a solution. It supposedly has Freesat & Freeview on it. Will have to try to get D's son out here, if he ever stays still, he'll know! TV is 2020 model, hardly top of the range but good enough for me.

@DorsetGirl1 Horror Bites, our on demand catch-up service available on Freesat, YouView and Freeview Play

Hotel again...means one thing...**** film on freeview 🥴
