  • 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.

  • geovilla77 georgie green (@geovilla77) reported from Bromsgrove, England

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

  • old_bob52 Kevin Bull (@old_bob52) reported from Coventry, England

    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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…

  • 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

  • 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…

  • 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

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @d0hertyry4n @TomRafferty4 No, you’re not debating it. You said very clearly that only the elderly and the poor who watch via Freeview should pay. Of course as that’s 16% of the population they would get a hell of a lot less than they do. “Get less if you’re old or poor”. An interesting hill to die on.

  • Shakacarnage Gareth Williams (@Shakacarnage) reported

    @woblis Terrible long term customer outlook. If I left for a month and came back, I'd get it for £50 a month. I think we'll go Freeview, like you say, in case we miss something, but I think the last two years has seen a huge change from live to streaming in our household.

  • WearsideWorrier Christopher Beard (@WearsideWorrier) reported

    @Forces_TV hi, is there an issue with Freeview signal in Sunderland area. Can no longer receive it via the freeview TV or BT box on 96. Missing my fix of cult TV.

  • RainbowChazer Music is my first love. And it will be my last. (@RainbowChazer) reported

    @wargandonor @David__Osland My argument entirely. Stick it in general taxation to preserve Freeview and radio (which are apparently important to many people) and make the rest of it subscription only. Happy to support my Twitch streamers who are the reason I have to pay the licence fee in the first place.

  • Davcobbler Bill Craven (@Davcobbler) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice My freeview channles such as Quest and Drama hwve no signal. Others OK but not great quality. NN11 0RE using Anglia transmitter. Would I be better from Midland.

  • mudlarklives Clay Harris 🇪🇺💉💉💉😷 (@mudlarklives) reported

    @OhBlimey Never on before 4pm, rarely on after 10pm. No news or current affairs. Sky Arts (via Freeview) or BBC4 when possible. The soaps basically are just *on*, not heavily invested in.

  • garyscott8383 Gary Scott (@garyscott8383) reported

    @Lakeuk @timfarron The company dvtv that administrates the UK Freeview network is owned by the BBC.... They choose not to give us the full offering ( that we pay for all the same) so we pay for less service (Tim knows this it was his own campaign when Freeview first came out) we also can't get dab

  • KevinCore Kevin Core (@KevinCore) reported

    Media Show actually getting into the big issue with a subscription BBC. Freeview. How do 18m, generally older people, who may skew Tory, watch Strictly?

  • BrandinyourHand Roger Tomlinson (@BrandinyourHand) reported

    @jamesdoeser @bectu @MegaphoneUK The problem as most media are discussing, no viable alternative has been proposed handling issues of vast amount of free-to-air radio & television the BBC broadcasts, with no infra-structure technology that would enable any kind of charging mechanism for radio or freeview

  • Whoknow01623687 Who knows 🗣 (@Whoknow01623687) reported

    @WonPeople Nothing you can’t watch a repeat of on any other freeview channel. Never listen to any BBC radio either.
