  • groovicat groovicat 💚 (@groovicat) reported from Adlington, England

    @Sillyshib Heartbeat, ssshhh, it's never been off. You can watch Heartbeat every day on freeview

  • quodignoratum Myles Winstone (@quodignoratum) reported from Warrington, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Definitely. We struggle getting Freeview and as you’re not on BT TV I’m missing my fix!

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • bulldogbyrne julie byrne (@bulldogbyrne) reported from Hindley, England

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

    @drewhill79 @VodafoneUK @MattJConnor @StHKHIS Same here. BT got the 150 mb and it flies. Good support and I stream everything!! Don’t even have normal freeview.

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • fleming77 Jane Fleming (@fleming77) reported

    BBC, ITV and Channel 4 have jointly announced plans to integrate the terrestrial television service Freeview operated by Digital UK with Freesat, the satellite television service available without subscription.

  • BameWiltshire BAME in Wiltshire (@BameWiltshire) reported

    @OliverDowden @HomeOfCricket @BorisJohnson Can you do something about Freeview content, please. If TV feeds into and from the culture of the nation - people are being mentally harmed by this so-called public service.

  • safc4ever John Dunne ♿👨🏻‍🦼💙 (@safc4ever) reported

    Anybody else in London getting problems with the @FreeviewTV signal this afternoon? TV and Free view box both freezing & restoring every second or two. Freesat is working fine, but I can't watch / record different channels at the same time, like I can on Freeview.

  • 0_marcella cella (@0_marcella) reported

    @virginmedia Thats not what I was promised. I was told I can keep the box and id get freeview channels as I've been a customer with you for years. I have a tivo box. Don't understand why I was told one thing when I cancelled it?

  • grim_fandango The Teletext Archaeologist (@grim_fandango) reported

    @illarterate @TeletextR @that_other_Carl It wasn’t too bad on Freeview but it was terrible on Sky. Really, really slow

  • MayLouis Amy Lou (@MayLouis) reported

    @ChannelboxTV hello i need some help when i go to choose Now 70s and Now 90s on my channel box on freeview it is coming up as sorry there is currently a technical problem connecting to this channel please try again later and i am connected to the internet.

  • luckysalt Kev Wilson 🦁 (@luckysalt) reported

    @Hawky93 Was stupid they removed it from freeview, cutting their figures down and it's meant to be a 'news' channel, if Sky News is on freeview why wouldn't they want their 'Sport' news. They kicked off and got another freeview slot for Sky Arts. But they still have Pick which is a waste.

  • executiverocker Rich Stanley (@executiverocker) reported

    @HaroldShand1979 Pluto TV is an app, although it's also built in on my firestick and Samsung TV. It's all free internet channels, almost like an extension to Freeview, but it's stuff like 24/7 homes under the hammer and bad films.

  • inxplosion Hannah 🍉 (@inxplosion) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice freeview has been bad all day. Only 28 channels found on retune. Distorted/broken up picture. Is there a signal/transmitter problem in the Newmarket, Suffolk area? It’s really annoying!

  • Kim_x0 Kim_x0 (@Kim_x0) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Sorry should have said sky+ multiroom and they both have the same issue with the freeview channels
