    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

  • Toffeewolfie Philip whitehurst (@Toffeewolfie) reported from Liverpool, England

    @rlwjones @Nick_Metcalfe @MarkyBunny They made one champions League game per round free to air..usually the crap games though..they used to have a channel on Freeview..

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • woz789 Simon Eggman (@woz789) reported

    @AnnReynold73527 @FreeviewTV Freeview TV guide reception in East Yorkshire around early November 2025. The Belmont transmitter, which serves much of the region including Hull and surrounding areas, had planned engineering works during the week starting October 27, 2025. This could lead to signal disruptions.

  • HorribleGrandma Dave Stott (@HorribleGrandma) reported

    @CountMoriarty @anon_opin A massive problem is also the decision to put BBC Three online-only. It was a hotbed of innovatio, and they took it away from young adults with a freeview box.

  • Jim_W_YkS IDIOSYNCRASY (@Jim_W_YkS) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Since Sunday I've not been able to get these channels - 1,2,9,12,25,27,34,39,51,56. In this day and age I find it totally unacceptable that its still possible to get a bad signal for 1 day, never mind 3 days +. I can't afford cable or satellite tv, freeview is all I've got

  • lennymr2 lennymr2 (@lennymr2) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice none of the booked recordings are working on my recorder. And there are issues with freeview data ie next Thurs schedule is missing and when dr martin is on it says it is the royal?

  • PlainOfBlood Dennis (@PlainOfBlood) reported

    @NNick_Valentine I sometimes consider leaving but am such a fan of tv, I would miss the streaming, freeview is just all crap now days.

  • RupertThomson Rupert (@RupertThomson) reported

    Anyone else notice how bad the picture quality of U&Drama @dramachannel is on Freeview? Doesn't even look like SD resolution.

  • LukhmanM 🇪🇺 M Lukhman 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 🇬🇧 🇮🇳 #RejoinEU (@LukhmanM) reported

    @likesretirement @toryboypierce @BBC For 350 days of the year Freeview is a sci-fi free zone and so making 50p per day poor value for money and not something I'd want to do! Those who like it pay for it fully

  • AnnReynold73527 Ann Reynolds (@AnnReynold73527) reported

    @FreeviewTV Why are we having problems Recording Freeview channels, particularly Channel 10 ( ITV3) in the evenings? Generally ok during the day? Belmont transmitter? Does this need a time/ date adjustment at your end? Says No Signal for failed recordings but signal is there!!

  • LDHMarketing LDH Marketing (@LDHMarketing) reported

    @ofcom @bbc @10DowningStreet If Freeview is switched off in favour of Freely (which is good in some contexts) on a day like today when there is a major outage you could be at home with no broadband, now no landline AND no TV. So no idea what is going on. Is that sensible? No.

  • AnnReynold73527 Ann Reynolds (@AnnReynold73527) reported

    @FreeviewTV Is anyone else having great problems getting and keeping the Freeview TV guide? It won't SAVE and stay saved. Belmont transmitter.
