  • 1FatKev Kevin Killoran (@1FatKev) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia really poor show all TV channels drop out just as the snooker semifinal is about to finish #freeview why not.

  • 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

  • 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 😂

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • LexFuturus LexFuturus (@LexFuturus) reported from Longfield, England

    Terrible streaming quality via YouTube! @btsport should have made it freeview #UCLfinal

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • PhilipMichaelC2 Philip Michael Chapman (@PhilipMichaelC2) reported from Croydon, England

    @PanasonicUK I have Panasonic Viera TV set now the Sony Crime Channel on Freeview channel 40 has moved to channel 60 but when I click on 60 all I get is Loading Interactive Service then the screen goes blank can you help me please or send an engineer

  • 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?

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • EastLight Ollie (@EastLight) reported

    @Lettiejp @AdeGardens @BBCNewsnight The BBC could encrypt its signals tomorrow - technically it's trivial to implement on both iPlayer and Freeview. But they continue to lie about this and to make excuses. I guess when your product is so poor, forcing people to pay for it makes sense. No-one would subscribe to BBC!

  • PopeyeFreeview Popeye (@PopeyeFreeview) reported

    Freeview channel 97 Hobbycraft TV I noticed one thing when Hobbycraft TV was off air on Sunday evening. There red button service has been reduced to 12 hours a day before it was 24 hours a day. The red button is only live from 7pm to 7am in HD. No HD between 7am to 7pm is only in SD.

  • Nugent4nil Robert Burns (@Nugent4nil) reported

    WTF there are currently four John Wayne films on freeview right now! Is it John Wayne month!

  • JoeBloggs400 Joe Bloggs (@JoeBloggs400) reported

    The main problem here is the huge plethora of films on the normal freeview tv or the normal tv somewhat hampering my progress through the films I want to watch on the blu-rays etc well on paramount+ they're getting in the ******* way.I watched oppenheimer on bbc2 yesterday.

  • poshsimon Poshsimon :) (@poshsimon) reported

    @LGUKCare The challenges on this LG TV are many: no freeview play or freely, the horrible remote control is difficult to use, the difficulty switching sources, popups appear for no apparent reason to do something, etc #Fail @lguk @johnlewishelp

  • aaroneh09 aaron allaby (@aaroneh09) reported

    NHL Center Ice from BELL must be on Freeview for the holiday season. i never ordered it. sounds good to me.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @DavidWiddick Can you please contact support? ALS how are you watching us please so we can investigate? Freeview red button? App? On your PC? Etc ? Thank you ! @TPTVEncore

  • sabrina777z SabrinaEvans01 (@sabrina777z) reported

    @stephen2876 @NotFarLeftAtAll Because those that can't afford Netflix or Prime or Disney have zero choice but to watch Freeview style TV and most of that is repeats from 70s/80/90etc so BBC and ITV are bad but they are less likely to be repeats.

  • 4Viewers 4Viewers (@4Viewers) reported

    @StuartJSimpson @Channel4 Hey Stuart - are you still experiencing issues with #Channel4? And if so, is this via Freeview?

  • algingersmith Alan C. Smith (@algingersmith) reported

    @blackplastic8 @AdrianFaiers Tech issues make it almost impossible. Charter means progs have to be accessible to all. Millions don't even have connected tv's or internet access. You'd have to dump the Charter. Or provide free Freeview boxes to millions. Cost prohibitive. #r4today
