Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Sidcup and nearby locations:

  • 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 😂

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • KateKennedy66 Kate Kennedy 💙 (@KateKennedy66) reported

    Anyone having issues with BBC channels on Freesat channels? Ok on my Freeview. Checked cables and sat dish, but all seems fine. All other channels are fine, just BBC pixelating? SW Scotland here.

  • roasty88 Ryan McVeigh (@roasty88) reported

    @WrestlingCG1 @SCN_channel I would say that counts. on Freeview it is Channel 265 which should bring you to the vod365 menu and then you just search from there. Just a warning but I think the menu is absolutely awful to navigate.

  • Chizzley2 Chizzey XVl (@Chizzley2) reported

    @AlanJon53947014 @albolt76 My BBC Freeview was down last week so i hashtagged both words and my oh my..... 😳👀 And thats my story.....

  • pipmadeley Pip (@pipmadeley) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Thanks but I've already tried that direct on the Freeview website. Says it's available in my area but clearly isn't. I also lost BBC Four HD and BBC News HD a couple of months ago. Aerial strength is 100% for other channels so no problems there. Pity.

  • GEORDIEJOHN1982 NUFC1892 (@GEORDIEJOHN1982) reported

    @InspireAndStyle @FreeviewAdvice Hi Karen, I had the same problem and I done a software update on my TV and reset the TV to default again after the update and it worked. You may also need to update the freeview app from your TV store (android play store) or LG store for example.

  • AllanMadjacs SALFORD PATRIOT (@AllanMadjacs) reported

    I gave my tv license up 3 yrs ago,watching daughters TV, The absolute **** they put on wk after wk,mth after month is disgraceful!,chanel 4 and Dave and all the fking rest, are just an advertising vehicle for **** programs, for PLEBS, Who think FREEVIEW is Great!!!😝😡🤬🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇸🇮🇱

  • curlyjimsam Jim the Jim (@curlyjimsam) reported

    @RealFloppyLion we were never able to pick up Channel Five on terrestrial, so we had four channels right up until we got Freeview

  • Outside_Margina Outside The Marginals (@Outside_Margina) reported

    How many channels does #C4 have on Freeview? Why can't they run their flagship news program (part of their Public Service) on time on the flagship channel? #c4news

  • dcfc_jr JR🐏 (@dcfc_jr) reported

    @isaacjs29 Bet you wish he’d saved your ears instead, I bet you get freeview on them bad boys

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @InspireAndStyle Hi, Karen. If you're getting FVP-300 on all Freeview Play players, check to see if there's a software update available for your Freeview Play device. If you've done an update and the player are still not launching on the TV, contact the devices manufacturer for support
