Freeview Issues Reports Near Ruislip, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Ruislip and nearby locations:

  • ProfJohnEllis John Ellis (@ProfJohnEllis) reported from Egham, England

    @MariaMichalis @All4 C4 is in talks to join Britbox... and you get surveillance on any streaming service, even ad funded. That’s how they can target the ads and tell you where your nearest car dealership is (new in All4). Only Freeview lets you keep anonymity

  • niklasRen Nik Rahmel (@niklasRen) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @Stephen_Neal Good shout! If we just take the Freeview/Freesat ones, we get to ten, excluding the National ones: 1) BBC One 2) BBC Two 3) BBC Four 4) CBBC 5) CBeebies 6) BBC News 7) BBC Parliament 8) Dave 9) Drama 10) Yesterday But they aren’t licence fee funded, so don’t help the argument.

  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

  • Beige29 Dark_Beige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    @Disco_Squirrel I’ve got the shitty EE freeview box and it’s one of the apps on there, but never used

  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • Tommy_M_E_J Tom Jordan (@Tommy_M_E_J) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @njvns That’s so shit. It’s literally called freeview and yet it’s not free

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

  • vjlorenzato Victoria Lorenzato (@vjlorenzato) reported from Brentford, England

    Catholic Twitter UK- help please! Anyone know of a Mass being broadcast on TV tomorrow ( not via internet) Lovely elderly lady has Freeview but no internet.... TIA!

  • Scare158Steve Scarebear (@Scare158Steve) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @bt_uk Thanks for the help. I spoke to freeview, tried a few things which didn't work but i contacted your TV help and after doing a few basic things somehow it appears to be working now! Very Strange. Tks

  • Beige29 DarkBeige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    Now I have the truly truly shit @EE freeview package (literally the worst selection of channels on earth but boy is it cheap broadband) I only watch the main 5 channels or SVOD. W, Dave, ITV2 etc are dead to me

  • Beige29 Beige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    @loudouglas75 I have such shit freeview I only have itv2+1

  • 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 😂

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

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

  • fishinthedark1 fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

  • 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.

  • daguvernor tommy harper (@daguvernor) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia once again trying to contact virgin media is a no go a proper waste of time contract has run out trying to cancel they have put the money up to £60 a month for basically 2 freeview boxes I have cancelled my direct debit which is due on the 7 april what a scam😡

  • JensFallesen Jens Fallesen (@JensFallesen) reported from Hounslow, England

    @leksi_p Correct. If you do not have Freeview, Sky or Virgin (or any other cable service), you should not need to pay if you never watch it.

  • budgie Lee 'Budgie' Barnett (@budgie) reported from Richmond, England

    @DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

  • omotforest david sinfield #pssc (@omotforest) reported from West Molesey, England

    To be honest, when you've removed the dependency of other real time tv, i cant see many people chipping in. Many will be paying just to watch their subscription service or Freeview.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍

  • adamwhumphreys Adam neu Adda (@adamwhumphreys) reported

    **** sake man, hate having to use BBC iPlayer to was the game because there's a bit of a delay on it. Found out about the goal on Twitter 20 seconds before it happened. (Also, I am watching it on S4C, but I gotta go through BBC iPlayer to get it cos I can't pick up Freeview).

  • fhv554 FHV554 (@fhv554) reported

    Bit of Queen on Freeview 11 if you’re interested. Public service announcement on behalf of decent music fans everywhere. 🤘🏻👍🏻

  • Michael80789776 Michael CLARK (@Michael80789776) reported

    @ShiregreenOwl @teresadg0 The online services are definitely a big contributor, I agree. But a dedicated 24 hr news service on Freeview is far more accessible for many, and that will have an impact

  • AJFeneley James Fen (@AJFeneley) reported

    Anybody else lost the vast majority of their Freeview TV channels in the past week? Used to have basically everything but had to rescan and now down to 16 channels.... no ITV, no C4, nothing at all in HD any more. Had 100+ last week.... #rdguk

  • DiGada1 Ali (@DiGada1) reported

    @TRACEYBRO @GBNEWS Unfortunately there's always been a load of freeview channels that have never been available where I live.

  • Doctor_of_Music Mike Coe (@Doctor_of_Music) reported

    Living in a remote location, we only have a 'public service' Freeview transmitter, with restricted channels. Dense woodland to the east means no satellite TV reception, & there is no 'cable'. Therefore I have discovered with some pleasure that I will be unable to receive @GBNews

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @KimWebb44671708 @PJDarran200 @ivorsawbottom Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • iannock Ian Nock (@iannock) reported

    @matthewcarter7 Freeview Play 4K TVs ... they have good support. TiVo v6 did at WC but have not confirmed this time around. Still need to check my SkyQ, but Android TV devices almost universally don't...

  • NickJStilwell1 Nick J Stilwell🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇿🇦🐾 (@NickJStilwell1) reported

    @GBNEWS SKY 515 (also FREEVIEW) starts THIS SUNDAY 8PM. Chaired by Andrew Neil. Aims to be non-woke, non pc. Never have to watch BBC NEWS, Laura Kuntsberg et al again @defundbbc Give it a go guys.

  • kennyhegney Kenny, so called, Hegney (@kennyhegney) reported

    Because my phone is a Universal Credit special I've never downloaded BBC Sounds. Recently( in an attempt to get work) I went without food so I could get Internet plumbed in. Yesterday I found Sounds on Freeview Player so listened to final episode of #BatterseaPoltergeist
