    @mickmcfc1 I'll never know. I've pulled the cable out. BBC Parliament on freeview only from now on. They talk absolute bollocks but rarely about football. I'm in!

  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

  • thelobsterboy Paul Smith (@thelobsterboy) reported from Manchester, England

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Why is S4C showing E4 on Freeview in Wales? On Freeview, S4C is normally bundled together with Channel 4's signal where it replaces E4. E4 in Wales is bundled with other commercial services, where it replaces GREAT! Movies Action. (1/2)

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    More 4: if you're on Freeview, availability varies. It's still off air in some regions - i.e. you'll just see a logo top left. In other areas, it's back and earlier issues with poor picture quality are being resolved. Sat/cable viewers are already back to normal.

  • farmfriendlincs Farmers Friend (@farmfriendlincs) reported

    All Freeview @Channel4 stations have just crashed! Never had that happen before.

  • SJIFreddyFan82 Sarah Jane Illingworth 😷💗 (@SJIFreddyFan82) reported from Castleford, England

    I feel this thing of channel 4 and 5 and Freeview going down was a publicity stunt to add to all the fuel crisis today. **** you channel 4 and 5.

  • eddsirr Edd Sirr (@eddsirr) reported

    @JBlairSco @Gwyn_Dr @S4C It’s not a connection error or a broadcaster error- it’s an error by the company that broadcasts the Freeview multiplex. There is literally nothing S4C could have done themselves to fix it.

  • OurManInBananas Philip Livingstone (@OurManInBananas) reported

    @channel5_tv is channel 5 down - in London all we see is a service card on Freesat and Freeview?

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Dreadful picture quality for More 4 Freeview viewers in North East England, still off air in other regions. While for others, everything is working fine. Why? That particular part of the Freeview service is regionalised and there are multiplexing issues in some areas.

  • underarm_ace Lee S (@underarm_ace) reported

    @GothboyUK @Channel4 @SkyHelpTeam C4 has had problems all evening. Still off air in HD on Freeview here.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @danmooreradio It appears at least C5 has a back-up feed. C4 is restored - i.e. there is a working feed around. The problem now appears to be in the distribution chain for Freeview's D3&4 (PSB2) multiplex.
