    @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

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    Time for the BBC to close down the BBCNews channel as they always seem to put it on BBC1 at same time WHY as BBCNews is available on sky freesat and freeview you dont need it on BBC1

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

  • RegenerateAndy Andy Smith (@RegenerateAndy) reported from Wandsworth, England

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

  • 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

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

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

  • niklasRen Nik Rahmel (@niklasRen) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @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.

  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

  • 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.

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

    @LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported from Camberwell, England

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on Freeview.

  • 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

  • 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 😂

  • 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.

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    @Forces_TV hi guys having a few problems with your freeview picture in London it freezes or breaks up had it since Friday

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

    @nowtvhelp I still got my old with the built-in Freeview TV all that still work and I do I'll come back to you because I transferred my account to BT I Wish I Never now if that box doesn't work I have to buy my NOW TV stick from you?

  • 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

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

    @bt_uk I got a problem it's not my fault and it's not BT issue I lost a lot of Freeview channels in my flat I went to no cancel and said you can have a dish because aerials are very bad in your area where you live we've had a lot of people coming to us about the same problem

  • daguvernor tommy harper (@daguvernor) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @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😡

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TonyMoretta Tony Moretta (@TonyMoretta) reported

    @Deano230 @AlStewartOBE It could have developed with FTA broadcasters as Freeview later did. Other problem is it never recovered financially from Sky switching to free box offer.

  • LimeyOtoko Vince Pavey (@LimeyOtoko) reported

    @rileysauruss PlutoTV has a bunch of free channels, I use that for anything not on UK freeview. It's an international service that covers a lot of bases, including channels for news and sports

  • ButtonPiers Piers button (@ButtonPiers) reported

    @kategarraway @skytv Sometimes it is a simple reset that can fix it, turn off your Sky Box and broadband router, turn the router back on and wait for it to fully initialise, then turn on the Sky Box You should still be able to watch freeview if you plug the outside ariel directly into the TV.

  • jerryalderson Jerry C Alderson (@jerryalderson) reported

    @back_the_BBC If the TV licence were to be decriminalised the only way to shore up BBC income would be some form of subscription even if only top up. A key problem, for government is that the #Freeview platform is, er, free, with the technology not currently supporting encryption for payments

  • Josh_HW Josh Wright (@Josh_HW) reported

    @jackh1092 Because mine is via freeview/online, and not via Sky/virgin etc, and the free view channel will be no more from 26th, so firestick (lite, not the full one) is only way to watch it. I haven't plugged it in yet, never had one. Just another way to stream i assume.

  • AllFineSunshine Vampire du bonheur (@AllFineSunshine) reported

    @MiniShane @JimSterling I mean, we had the same here with analogue. There were still channels that made their money from ad-revenue like ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, and they're still accessible on Freeview since the switch to digital. I just don't see an issue in funding a public institution

  • timmacwilliam Tim MacWilliam (@timmacwilliam) reported

    @LBC Traded in the equivalent of an all singing & dancing satellite tv service with films and sport plus Netflix thrown in for Freeview with a dodgy signal with half the stations but it does have a little British flag in the corner

  • Malcolm_Grinter Malcolm Bon Grinter (@Malcolm_Grinter) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam It’s on both TVs I have. I can’t get freeview on the other so it’s clearly an Ariel issue he has caused

  • peter_melvyn Peter Melvyn714 (@peter_melvyn) reported

    FREEVIEW : My oh my, what a load of utter garbage is prevalent on freeview now, the number of repeats is totally unacceptable and the commercial breaks are getting longer and longer, as long as 20 MINUTES would you believe, and as for the shopping channels, too much junk

  • wiganshale john shale (@wiganshale) reported

    @virginmedia @Ofcom just to let you know that tivo is still freezing up, whilst my wife is watching it and that your only solution is to turn it off and on is not an appropriate response. take the tivo away and deduct from my bundle and I'll get a Freeview box.
