  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38

  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

  • EranE1980 Eran Edry (@EranE1980) reported from Camden Town, England

    @FreeviewAdvice hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Davidp1103 David-19 (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @TalkTalk It would be nice if you could reduce or remove a £40 charge for an engineer who called but made no inspection of equipment, explained that Freeview channels had been altered; a fact that your customer services were not aware of, but should have known.

  • 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.

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • fawltytowers69 Joe Hart (@fawltytowers69) reported

    @jimalkhalili To be honest we haven’t been able to receive BBC4 on Freeview for years, and switched completely to watching BBC on iPlayer due to building work / Bilsdale burning down. Not sure we’ll ever go back to linear viewing. The times they are a’changing.

  • BillCar26144462 Bill Carson (@BillCar26144462) reported

    @JANUSZCZAK All I can say is that I used to watch it in HD about ten years ago back when I had a Sky sub, and in SD on freeview it was awful in comparison. I still have recordings of it from back then... And I do think your shows are a good example of something that benefits from HD.

  • rosshawkes Ross (@rosshawkes) reported

    @JayneHowarth If they do this and stop airing PBS on Freeview, I'll never get my fix of random documentaries!

  • lighty89 Ben Light (@lighty89) reported

    @CBeebiesHQ What’s happening to CBeebies HD on freeview next month? Seen a news article saying the transmitter it on being shut down?

  • samsharpsTBI Sam Sharps (@samsharpsTBI) reported

    @AlexGAThomas This is really nicely put. We have been here before though, when the beeb threatened to cut Asian Network and 6 Music. After an outcry they seemed to settle down to the usual salami slicing. Also the strange return of BBC3 to freeview.

  • PWispa Taylor! (@PWispa) reported

    @oocukkidstv No way, they bring back BBC Three only to immediately do this **** afterwards. Wtf are freeview kids who grew out of Cbeebies going to watch now? Pop?

  • Elizabeth_W1234 Liza Wilson (@Elizabeth_W1234) reported

    Sad to hear CBBC is shutting down. There’s not many kids’ channels on Freeview as is (or weren’t when I was a kid) & they made so many beloved shows. Such a shame

  • markpentler Mark Pentler (@markpentler) reported

    @mippy I assume the transmission platform side of the costs the same no matter where the content comes from. I think it’s on DAB and satellite? And Freeview? So they probably want to slim that down.

  • JulesPowis Jules Powis 🌻 (@JulesPowis) reported

    BBC3's audience is all online. Going linear won't help it's terrible ratings. BBC4's target demographic are all linear consumers. Killing-off BBC4 to keep BBC3 on Freeview makes absolutely zero sense.

  • owlladycal Owlladycal (@owlladycal) reported

    @theoneringnet Sadly i'll never see the prequels of LOTR....Terrestrial & freeview tvs no longer show original LOTR now. Gone Forever😢. Occasionally we get The Hobbit.. but thats rare... 1 or 2x per yr. Soon this'll be Gone Forever. Star Wars suffered a similar fate. Gone Forever.
