  • rozzietheaussie rozzietheaussie (@rozzietheaussie) reported from Royal Leamington Spa, England

    Dear @Channel4 please can you add live streaming to your 4OD service. My Freeview signal is shocking and I'm missing Bake off and this is very distressing

  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

  • niksibley Nik Sibley (@niksibley) reported from Coventry, England

    Any ideas why MiL’s @HisenseUK @Roku TV sometimes puts itself onto the Freeview Play page whilst watching her Sky Q box? Even did it to me as I was navigation TV settings. Maybe TV or remote control issues? Hopefully unplugging/replugging will simply be enough to fix it…

    You don’t realise how awful freeview is until your waiting for the sky man to come to your house 🥴

    @virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.

    @LewisHamilton @SilverstoneExp That may be the case Lewis. If you really want to inspire the next generation. F1 needs to be on Freeview. It willl never happen though.

  • JacquieSamateh KS (@JacquieSamateh) reported from Coventry, England

    @FreeviewAdvice My Freeview channels were broken up so I tried to retune, and only South TV channels came up & only BBC1, BBC2, BBC4 and the children's BBC channels. So I tried retuning again and I can find not ONE single channel. Please help me. Thanks

  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

  • xemilywalker emily (@xemilywalker) reported from Solihull, England

    The worrrrrst thing is, I’ve never had a telly in my room, never wanted one but that means tomorrow my mom and dad will be watching something awful in the back living room so ill be in the front living room with just freeview channels hahahaha **** off

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

    Zoe's internet has crashed just as we were settling down to watch Kenobi on Disney 🤬 Freeview is the only option and after 2 minutes of Glastonbury I'm about to put pins in my eyes and tie a rope around the nearest tree...

    @chrisbenson007 @NOWMusic Found this which explains as you scroll down what's happening to a major revamping of Freeview channels....29/30june 2022

  • allen_rob Rob Allen (@allen_rob) reported

    @bt_uk all your freeview HD channels keep have awful signal quality in last few days for some reason 🤔 has this been reported?

  • SteJWi22 Steven W (@SteJWi22) reported

    @colinwiseman3 We only have about 20 Freeview tv channels, none are Sky. The LNB on our satellite dish is dead and we haven’t had it repaired so no Freesat either… We rely on online services (although the Freeview online app service doesn’t work for us.)

  • geykyn George Eykyn (@geykyn) reported

    Is there a Freeview TV outage currently? Cannot get TV box to pick up terrestrial channels. Wd be odd if aerial suddenly stopped working. Restarted Humax box, etc etc. It is an old box, but...

  • Jeffery22748212 Jeffery (@Jeffery22748212) reported

    Did you know a decision is to be made in the next 8 years that will see the demise of freeview. No more tv received via an aerial on the house. Meaning that you will have to pay a subscription for an online streaming service. Backdoor privatisation of the bbc!

  • FormulaStoo Stoo G (@FormulaStoo) reported

    Bad news: confirmation that FreeSports will be leaving Freeview next week Good news: looks as though the FreeSports Player will still be available to watch the channel online. Fingers crossed, anyway

  • Bobby_Drake7 Bobby Drake (@Bobby_Drake7) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Thanks for the reply George, much appreciated. Guess im.gonna have to go direct and some questions then...! Admittedly I thought it was your owners whose name I forget. Sadly Freeview is becoming a continually more stifled service, it's a shame.

  • nvhstargazer Nance H (@nvhstargazer) reported

    What is going on with Freeview TV right now? Seem to have lost the Freeview Channels in the past 2 hours (something about the Digital signal) and now terrestrial is glitching the picture. Is anyone else having problems with Freeview in London right now? #FreeviewDown @FreeviewTV

  • _oatc_ oatc (@_oatc_) reported

    @BBCNews @BBCNewsPR Why is BBCNewsHD being deleted from Freeview on 30JUN2022? It is the only HD news service there!
