    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!!

  • 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. 👍

  • 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...😳

  • Toffeewolfie Philip whitehurst (@Toffeewolfie) reported from Liverpool, England

    @rlwjones @Nick_Metcalfe @MarkyBunny They made one champions League game per round free to air..usually the crap games though..they used to have a channel on Freeview..

  • karlmcintyre Karl McIntyre (@karlmcintyre) reported from St Helens, England

    @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.

  • 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.

    I don't have an ariel or freeview I rely on your piece of shit @virginmedia #VirginMedia

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Forager26 Tom Paterson (@Forager26) reported

    @InsideOutCJ I believe RT has now been taken down from Freeview.

  • Geordie_Gavs Gav (@Geordie_Gavs) reported

    @JayneSeckerSky @SkyNews RT isn't working on Freeview. Has it been shut down?

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

    Has Freeview 'pulled' or removed RT? Technically no. What has happened today is that the feed of the channel has been cut. The black 'service unavailable' message kicks in when the channel feed is lost (has happened before on other channels). (1)

  • DavidWMcDuff David McDuff 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.🇪🇺 (@DavidWMcDuff) reported

    @adamboultonTABB @Ofcom RT down on Freeview 18:43 UK

  • SillyFool11 Filly Sool (@SillyFool11) reported

    @Lorien_MI @RT_com I'd assume you'd also support an official ISIS TV channel on freeview?

  • alistaircoleman Alistair Coleman (@alistaircoleman) reported

    RT is still on Freeview as its signal comes from elsewhere, but I really wouldn't bother. (thanks @tweetSP0RT)

  • LaBloggeuse Dr Devra Kay (@LaBloggeuse) reported

    @RolandCPowell @droyls It was going strong on UK Freeview until middle of this pm. Then a one-line message appeared: This service is currently not available. They had been criticizing the French ban just before that. Thanks for the info.

  • mpk Mike (@mpk) reported

    @veronica_landon @lexheath @PippaCrerar Ofcom is doing everything by the book. Lots of investigations running into various RT-related issues but they (rightly) don’t have the power to simply yank channels off air. Whether RT can still pay their bills for carriage on Freeview et al with the sanctions is another thing..

  • tvlive TV Live 🇺🇦 (@tvlive) reported

    BREAKING: RT has now been shut down completely on Freeview.
