  • 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?

  • 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

  • summers_allan Allan Kempson (@summers_allan) reported from Romford, England

    @talkSPORT @Sjopinion10 That's a bad idea. Sky have rights to other sports too, so a netflix football service would be yet another thing to pay for if you like multiple sports. More football needs to be on freeview channels like BBC and ITV.

  • u0421793 Ian K Tindale (@u0421793) reported from East Ham, England

    The Good, the Bad and The Ugly is just starting now on Paramount network freeview 32

  • 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.

  • MartinC93414706 Martin (@MartinC93414706) reported from Lambeth, England

    @channel5_tv is the worst for catch up tv via your app or freeview. Just can’t find programmes sometimes. Trying to find Sally Lindsays posh sleepover. C4, itv and BBC never ever have a problem with. I give up with C5

  • 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?

  • PurpleDon1973 MadameCholet (@PurpleDon1973) reported from Ilford, England

    Some days I really wish I'd kept all those calls to @JimDavisOnAir on my freeview box. I've been sent way back in time with a USB memory stick, a few years back with some calls. Damn, I really miss those days with the song choice and #JimDavisLive And it was just brilliant radio

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

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

  • 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

  • flowergirl_lon Sam (Flower Girl) Jennings (@flowergirl_lon) reported from Croydon, England

    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38

  • 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

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, England

    @MyHydeHome @SCCIAlphatrack Not even sure how that's possible there's no record anyways over the weekend we lost signal for the communal aerial it has become very weak very pixelated can pick up the Freeview HD channels

  • AStrangerJ A.j. Stranger #UTAG (@AStrangerJ) reported from Bromley, England

    On the Freeview “REALLY” channel at 9pm, “Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?”. I’ve never seen it before, but I bet the answers not Jeffrey Epstein.

  • Davidp1103 David-19 (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @TalkTalk It would be nice if you could reduce or remove a £40 charge for an engineer who called but made no inspection of equipment, explained that Freeview channels had been altered; a fact that your customer services were not aware of, but should have known.

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MarkLeicester7 MarkLeicester (@MarkLeicester7) reported

    @cjayanetti @CarefulTweeter Not sure about that. I have never sat down one evening to go online & watch it, but if it was on Freeview and there was nothing else on then I might channel hop onto it for a bit. It's niche, but unlike the right with their countless options, there's not much else similar.

  • thirstyworks ♂GENERAL ELECTION NOW 👍Paternalistic Conservative (@thirstyworks) reported

    @BreesAnna @KayBurley Weird, Sky 233 on Freeview was down this morning!

  • BellaGilesSmit1 Bella Giles-Smith (@BellaGilesSmit1) reported

    How I #savemoney Turn off at socket my TV, Freeview box, PC, Microwave, and all rechargeable devices, only charging when needed. Light on where I am, rest off. Washing machine once a fortnight so FULL load Hot water on once a week, lukewarm showers Share your tips to help us all

    @skytv is there a problem with channel 103 itv1 on sky tv and also on freeview .,., sounds been cutting out all day ,, not just with me ??? Gillingham Kent ME7 AND Also CT5 Whistable Kent,,

  • ChrisBagguley Chris Bagguley💙 (@ChrisBagguley) reported

    @UtchStokie @sailingbikeruk I have this problem every week. When MW frequency was available Stoke were always on Freeview. Since that went they're always on FM hence I can't listen nor is Sounds available.

  • Mathe_Musician MatheMusician (@Mathe_Musician) reported

    @aryomjapes @Beccabell05 @katemassey77 The beloved just records them & deletes the adverts if we might want to watch it again, or just fast forwards thro' them if not. We *never* see adverts because we never watch anything live. (Also only watch freeview 'cos there's more than enough to watch on there.)

  • DJGaryBaldy DJGaryBaldy (@DJGaryBaldy) reported

    My Freeview box is recording #CelebrityMasterChef twice yet it's only been set to record once. Stupid box

  • KeithToms4 Keith Toms (@KeithToms4) reported

    @FreeviewTV @Dodgyclare I live near Wisbech in Cambridgeshire and we have been having trouble with Freeview lately with No signal being shown and jigsaw on the screens.

  • ChrisTheDJ Chris Merriman 🇺🇦 (@ChrisTheDJ) reported

    Actually that's not strictly true. Freeview will be offering internet streams of channels as back up in the future, but no sign of when, so that doesn't help you today.
