    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

  • 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.

  • MartinC93414706 Martin (@MartinC93414706) reported from Lambeth, England

    @channel5_tv is the worst for catch up tv via your app or freeview. Just can’t find programmes sometimes. Trying to find Sally Lindsays posh sleepover. C4, itv and BBC never ever have a problem with. I give up with C5

  • djjohnyg Dj johny Garcia (@djjohnyg) reported from Richmond, England

  • maggieinlondon Maggie - wear a mask 💙🏳️‍🌈🌱 (@maggieinlondon) reported from Wandsworth, England

    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

  • 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.

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, England

    @MyHydeHome @SCCIAlphatrack Not even sure how that's possible there's no record anyways over the weekend we lost signal for the communal aerial it has become very weak very pixelated can pick up the Freeview HD channels

  • 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.

  • AStrangerJ A.j. Stranger #UTAG (@AStrangerJ) reported from Bromley, England

    On the Freeview “REALLY” channel at 9pm, “Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?”. I’ve never seen it before, but I bet the answers not Jeffrey Epstein.

  • flowergirl_lon Sam (Flower Girl) Jennings (@flowergirl_lon) reported from Croydon, England

    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Caro64733955 Caroline138 (@Caro64733955) reported

    @JeremyVineOn5 A paedetrician on GB News (freeview 236) last week said higher chance of under 18s dying of heart problems following jab than dying of Covid. If they’ve already had covid the chance of dying after jab even greater

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

    @belperite Hi. Good question. The satellite feed is broadcast in DVB-S. It has to be converted into a DVB-T multiplex using a modulator so that Freeview devices can receive it. The solution for ITV/C4 and C5 means they can use a similar system to that used in hotels and ships, no encoder.

  • TEOL85 The Evolution Of Life (@TEOL85) reported

    @STARTVUK @HarshAnantNagar @snehajain The good thing is it would have everything on demand eventually. But you can't watch Disney or Fox movies on a big screen anymore because it's all online only which is a bad thing. Disney and Fox still have a BBC and Channel 4 Freeview deal for films but that's 2-5 years behind.

  • mauricedaman Maurice Affleck 😎 (@mauricedaman) reported

    @ellapeaches1984 Just moved into a new house, no internet connection, so only have freeview. Does anyone realise just how bad it is?

  • illuminatus illuminatus (@illuminatus) reported

    @georgyjamieson 5Select live but I’m watching through on demand because Freeview here is poor (especially with Bilsdale as it is now)

  • ashworth_mick Mick Ashworth (@ashworth_mick) reported

    @Space_FL @nikkinoelle7 Good,I haven’t got Showtime, I’m in the UK and it’s an American channel or service so we don’t get showtime over here, it could be on Sky, our main satellite broadcaster, I’ve got 80 plus Freeview digital channels and Netflix and Amazon Prime, I’ve got a smart Tv so got YouTube👍

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @PaulDel70889969 Hi Paul, Sorry to learn you have no Freeview reception. We are currently investigating the issue and speaking with all relevant parties to resolve the issue. Melissa

  • merseytart Scott (@merseytart) reported

    Another hotel, another auto tune of the TV to get an up to date Freeview channel list. I should charge for this service.

  • GarethPc1237 Gareth Jones (@GarethPc1237) reported

    Well TV has gone off again. We had BBC and ITV for a few days but that has gone now. Message from Freeview to say the 28th when all was due to back to normal will not happen due to an access issue with the land owner. Will we get a refund on our TV licence? #Bilsdalesbuggered

  • NFGmart martyn notman (@NFGmart) reported

    @alanplynch Apparently its a freeview issue here!
