    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!!

  • 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.

    @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:

  • AgentSchmith Agent Smith (@AgentSchmith) reported

    @jasonpwalk @Talesofanalfa I would expect you'll need a freesat decoder / set top box at each TV to interpret the signal. It's slightly different from FreeView which the TV may well have a built in digital tuner for, but will expect a tuning signal from on the RF port.

  • ROBMER ROBERT MERCER (@ROBMER) reported

    @grannypatt @TalkingPicsTV I've been having problems with freeview lately so this might explain the situation,i am in the London area.

  • DSkippings Darren Skippings (@DSkippings) reported

    @redflag3rd @BebsDotter @tomhfh I can honestly say I have never once watched it, I deleted it as soon as it was put on freeview, so I didn't see it by accident.

  • Nick_Payne Nick Payne (@Nick_Payne) reported

    Anybody else in the midlands just lost Freeview? @FreeviewTV is there a transmitter down?

  • recovringlawyer Matt (@recovringlawyer) reported

    @LGUKCare Hello, I need some help tuning my TV for Freeview etc. I've tried a few times (and I have a digital aerial) without success. Also trying to update the various apps and that's not working either (the TV is connected to my WiFi).

  • Mlabus5 Malabus (@Mlabus5) reported

    @Rob_McPhee_UK @FreeviewTV Drama; Drama +1, Horror and ITV3 are the main problematic channels. Maybe a relay transmitter problem, but nothing is indicating that on the Freeview website. I've changed the amplifier and still having issues. Thanks for replying.

  • joebloggz6 Terrorist Tea Pot (@joebloggz6) reported

    Is freeview down?

  • JoshxReid Josh (@JoshxReid) reported

    Looks like they've quickly cut out that slide on iPlayer and replaced it with a static version of the new downtime slide. Still able to get the 'We're not here right now' on Freeview though

  • JamieNemeth Jamie Nemeth (he/him/they/them) (@JamieNemeth) reported

    Next week on my Twitch stream: Freeview watchalong! Can't see any potential issues with rebroadcasting content from the BBC, ITV, Channels 4 and 5, UKTV, Quest, etc. I mean, they're literally giving it away for free on Freeview! That's how copyright and fair use works, right?
