  • 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.

  • 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

  • JEFFREY03296741 JEFFREY PHILLIPS (@JEFFREY03296741) reported from Brentford, England

    @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?

  • RegenerateAndy Andy Smith (@RegenerateAndy) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Channel ‘Pick’ on freeview. Never heard of it before but grateful for it tonight #chelsea

  • 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.

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported from Camberwell, England

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on Freeview.

  • 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.

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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

  • IanDavidRoss1 @thebadissuecollective (@IanDavidRoss1) reported from Lambeth, England

    Freeview tv is crap again tonight ,apart from french war drama on BBC2 - The Guardians(2017) I missed the first 30min ,so will watch from the start at first opportunity,Going to check Netflix.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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😡

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

Freeview Issues Reports

  • WatsonJKnights Watson J.Knights (@WatsonJKnights) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice No freeview signal in Surrey. Well I say none there is a smattering of channels that have badly broken up pictures that could be classed as art.

  • MerpsOver9000 TYC_merp (@MerpsOver9000) reported

    @BlackPanthaaYT @lomadia The app on the family polaroid tv sucks but we got a Freeview box and the app on there works fine. I like watching videos on my laptop but when listening to music I prefer chrome casting to the tv

  • PaulGallant11 Paul Gallant (@PaulGallant11) reported

    @Will68796790 I have for many years paid through Xbox as I am a carer for my Mother who watches freeview channels on the other TV I use my Xbox one to view BT Sports, and I would not risk using link's as they are unstable not on Xbox

  • tran_d87 David Tran (@tran_d87) reported

    @bt_uk So what do I do now? just wait until Freeview fixes the outage?

  • Oldcynic9 GrannyB. (@Oldcynic9) reported

    @GBNEWS @jf_hanley I'm really upset we won't be able to watch on our bedroom freeview tv as our signal is from a relay transmitter & not a main transmitter. We only have virgin on the main downstairs TV. 😡

  • QueerWrestling Davey🏳️‍🌈 (@QueerWrestling) reported

    @manizhkin @Iightuptheroom They dropped the junior eurovision like a bad habit after 3 years. Channel 4, I could see being a good alternatively. Even Sky, to an extent. Who have the option of putting it one of their freeview channels to get around the restriction of non sky subscribers.

  • clubtr0picana listen without prejudize ♓︎ 🇵🇸 (@clubtr0picana) reported

    oh yeah guys theres this freeview musix channel called ‘thats’ and it was 80s on and WHAM CAME ON I WAS SO HAPPY BC I WATCH IT SOMETIMES RANDOMLY AND WHAM IS NEVER ON AND I GOT SO HAPPY peak of my life

  • Mike_SmithUk1 Mike Smith (@Mike_SmithUk1) reported

    @EllieRSmith1 I'm with sky now, I want to cancel there satellite subscription. I'm tempted just to use the freeview tv

  • brundellfilimou Mike Benjamin (@brundellfilimou) reported

    @talkRADIO @mrmarkdolan The alternative funding. A wholly subscription model can’t be applied to radio and there is no UK news service not on freeview. So you could phase out the licence fee over and allow the BBC to compete for adv and sponsorship. I bet that will go down well with News Corp.

  • Obi1_Shinobi 𝐍Ⓘℕ𝓳ค (@Obi1_Shinobi) reported

    @Alichat66 @TheBembridge Nothing on freeview/freesat or don't you have that? I'm just going to use catch up service as I refuse to pay for BBC rubbish
