    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ross_actual Ross (@ross_actual) reported

    Movie Pick of the Day (UK Freeview) Nightbreed (1990) Dir. Clive Barker Horror Channel - 22:55 I despised Nightbreed when it was released, but only because of how much of an utter **** Craig Sheffer was in Some Kind of Wonderful, three years previous. I hold grudges.

  • marshallmaps Roversgotmeagain (@marshallmaps) reported

    @911Amelia @anetevt @SkyNewsBreak Why would anyone watch Sky News? I can get their "News" channel on Freeview but have hidden the channel to keep my blood pressure down.

  • EmilyKitv Emily Knight (@EmilyKitv) reported

    @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 🤞

  • lukehar04175810 luke harding (@lukehar04175810) reported

    @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

  • racefaceec90 adam cunningham (@racefaceec90) reported

    @discoveryplus thank the gods this is subscription only,as i will never ever have to watch any of it on freeview. jesus christ can your bloody adverts too (every 5 mins or less it seems on just about all channels). i will never want to watch any of your programs.

  • robotmaths RobotMaths (@robotmaths) reported

    @Paul_Monk One of the Freeview channels is showing episodes weekly. It's SO SLOW. If we find bingeing them on DVD tedious, what it must have been like for the non-streaming crowd.

  • Dr_Jon John Michael Leslie (@Dr_Jon) reported

    @Theking06810787 @CountBinface I don't get this, it's never gone away on Freeview, just press the Text button on your TV's remote while on BBC1, BBC2 or BBCNews and you're good to go: Page ideas: 101 = News headlines 302 = Football Headlines 360 = F1 Headlines 400 = Weather

  • trevorlong Trevor Long (@trevorlong) reported

    @JamesCridland @EFTM No mate, because you're the only one on the planet who cares:))) sorry... cross carry of EPG was an issue when i was at SBS - industry doesn't care, put too much effort into Freeview+ instead of the basic EPG - I hear ya... but, I'd be sticking with fetch:)

  • LJconservation Linda Kemp (@LJconservation) reported

    @SamanthaMalin We've been having problems over here too with signal dropout and pixelation. We aren't on Sky though, just Freeview. We weren't sure if our Humax box was on the blink as it's quite ancient now. Perhaps it's the 5G in the vaccines affecting the signal Lol!!!

  • mrssheardy Sarah Sheard (@mrssheardy) reported

    @plusnethelp the remote I have for the freeview plus box doesn’t work even after changing batteries, are you able to help with this please?
