    @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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @jock_savage @ruskin147 This licence lets you use and install receiving equipment at the licensed place. watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat) watch live on streaming services (e.g. ITVX, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now, Sky Go)

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

  • 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?

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    @Forces_TV hi guys having a few problems with your freeview picture in London it freezes or breaks up had it since Friday

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • mrledders ian leadbetter (@mrledders) reported

    @Dolly_Darren Ok. Mine did the same to me. I switched it off at the mains (along with the Freeview box), promised never to watch ITV3 again, left it for about an hour and when I switched it back on it came back to life. Sadly, not designed to last now!

  • deanrmarsh Dean Marsh™ (@deanrmarsh) reported

    @MintRoyale Weird. I've never had in HD. Can't get it even if I retune either Part of Ch Fours agreement was it's not available in HD on Freeview... Wonder if it's a regional thing? 🤔

  • JasonAtDavid Jason Stone (@JasonAtDavid) reported

    @FollowerAndy0 @jimwaterson Yes but won't piping it through Sky, Freeview etc massively mitigate the risk of it breaking down?

  • russ_nicol Russ Nicol 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@russ_nicol) reported

    @Penelop11785074 @OwenJones84 @GBNEWS Unfair to judge on a YT clip of anything. Shame your freeview signal is so poor. You can download the GBNews app onto your phone however and watch it live there.

  • oatmilkb1tch_ mrs worldwide (@oatmilkb1tch_) reported

    wtf is blues clues i grew up on freeview all i know is grown men shouting bogies in libraries

  • ParmaleeWes WesParmalee (@ParmaleeWes) reported

    @arqiva To anyone commenting here. To date, I have not seen Arqiva reply here. It may be that they reply by DM, but I'm really not convinced. The Freeview answers read like 'how long is a piece of string'. A few MPs are pushing the issue.

  • garyburton45 gary burton (@garyburton45) reported

    We are on holiday in borth using freeview in our rented caravan we are having problems with the coverage a lot of what we call gremlins it has been happening a lot how do we stop it

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @Ashcroft46 Hi, Rick. If you're still not getting Freeview channels, try an automatic retune on your TV, if you haven't done so yet. If that doesn't work, please DM us your postcode and house name/house number so we can check your predicted coverage.

  • DempseyEN 𝘿𝙀𝙈𝙋𝙎𝙀𝙔 (@DempseyEN) reported

    @tamago2474 Freeview folks be like... Wtf are they talking about

  • fifasalty 💙Chris💙salt💙 (@fifasalty) reported

    @RealMickFoley i think one problem is the lack of hardcore matches and an hardcore championship. when you look back all the matches i remember they are covered in blood and death defying stunts. not sure why this is not happening now but again creative writing then aew shown on freeview in uk
