  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Prof_Nostalgia Prof Nostalgia (@Prof_Nostalgia) reported

    @dougmcfarlane41 It's not fair to blame Freeview. They didn't set fire to the transmitter and they don't own or maintain it. Arquiva are doing their best but they being hampered by legal issues due to the fact that it's in an area of scientific interest. We have to be patient.

  • russeaside1053 russell (@russeaside1053) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hu19 2ju seems strange everything went wrong after withernsea was dug up by kcom .tv channels are fine and strong signal upto about 3 or 4 in afternoon & it breaks up and signal strength is weak? A lot of people in withernsea have contacted Freeview & freesat same problem while

  • russeaside1053 russell (@russeaside1053) reported

    @FreeviewTV All the down was dug up to fit KCOM and the town has had problems tv ever since? I play for local bowls team and ask team members if trouble tv and yes they all have all over withernsea. People have bought tv's then find signal breaks up wether it's Freeview, freesat or any

  • UKTVPlayHelp UKTV Play Help (@UKTVPlayHelp) reported

    @Petramid @UKTVPlay Hey Christine, we've been unable to replicate this issue on our end. Please could you try unplugging your tv/freeview for 10 minutes to allow for the cache to clear and try again. Let us know if this resolves your issues.

  • russeaside1053 russell (@russeaside1053) reported

  • allaboutclait Allaboutclait (@allaboutclait) reported

    @JaTeken Pity we don't get a rebate for the fact we can't pick up all Freeview channels (the mobile signal's rubbish as well) and there's no FTTP here.

  • sw1a0aa Gareth Milner (@sw1a0aa) reported

    @JustSteve68 Online service I’m afraid, not watched much Freeview/Sky over past few years unless I’m staying at my dads

  • LE_Graeme Graeme P (@LE_Graeme) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV @valentepencil Here in the central region, during heavy rain most of my Freeview channels occasionally pixalate and lose the signal (though strangely not the BBC channels), yet my sister in the Anglia region only loses the BBC channels...
