    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!

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @itvhub Hello, I can’t seem yo be able to watch Live tv on the itv Hub on my Sony Android smart Tv. model Sony 49 KD49XH8196BU Smart 4K UHD LED Freeview TV, can you help please? @SonyTV @Sony

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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😡

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • FormulaStoo Stoo G (@FormulaStoo) reported

    Bad news: confirmation that FreeSports will be leaving Freeview next week Good news: looks as though the FreeSports Player will still be available to watch the channel online. Fingers crossed, anyway

  • I_Returneth Stephen(insert appropriate virtue signalling flag) (@I_Returneth) reported

    Really starting to think the TV Licence isn't worth it anymore. No not because of the usual childish reason that "I don't like what's on BBC1" but because of the COM7 signal being so degraded now with the 5G takeover we're getting 2nd Class Freeview and channels are vanishing.

  • Jeffery22748212 Jeffery (@Jeffery22748212) reported

    Did you know a decision is to be made in the next 8 years that will see the demise of freeview. No more tv received via an aerial on the house. Meaning that you will have to pay a subscription for an online streaming service. Backdoor privatisation of the bbc!

  • rsmck Ross McKillop  (@rsmck) reported

    Big mistake to remove @BBCNews HD from Freeview. Hotels, airline lounges, foyers etc where BBC has prevailed for years will switch to another news service rather than retrofit freesat or IP based solutions just to keep the same channel :(

  • lexheath lexheath (@lexheath) reported

    @BBCNews just had a message on freeview that had is going - this is a huge mistake, I’ve already stopped watching bbc breakfast because the cut to local news gives that tedious message, also never watch local news as it’s ld, itv is all in hd so they’ve won

  • SteJWi22 Steven W (@SteJWi22) reported

    @colinwiseman3 We only have about 20 Freeview tv channels, none are Sky. The LNB on our satellite dish is dead and we haven’t had it repaired so no Freesat either… We rely on online services (although the Freeview online app service doesn’t work for us.)

  • dzonershow Association of Cartoon Talent & Services by Darren (@dzonershow) reported

    @RegularTweetsUK Also the HD versions of BBC News and Discovery Quest airing on freeview are shutting down next week due com7 band phasing out for 5g spectrum

  • VonPhartdangler Von Phartdangler (@VonPhartdangler) reported

    @benji_writer @FutureDarren Hahaha, an oldie but a goldie. I watch a lot of 80s pop vids on Freeview. But why are they often such bad quality? And the aspect ratios off?

  • LuminolNights Ethan Black (@LuminolNights) reported

    I have a tv and I’ve never even accidentally come across GB News or wherever it is that Piss Morgan steals his bread. Where is it broadcast, freeview?

  • wheatln2 nigel (@wheatln2) reported

    @PeterMcGuireIE Alternative is to go down the route of a NordVPN connection which usually works with BBC iPlayer and ITV. And then use the Irish TV on-demand services. I love have a TV with that ability to jump between the stations! Film4, BBC3, Sky Arts, Sky News, CNN all available on freeview
