    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • sospainter 🅿🅰🆄🅻 🅲🅾🅻🅻🅸🅴🆁 (@sospainter) reported from Whyteleafe, England

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • barongreenbacks Tim Binsley #JohnsonOut (@barongreenbacks) reported

    @jamiebglover It’s not just about all the BBC channels though, wonderful as they are. The licence fee also maintains the Freeview and radio network on which commercial TV and radio stations depend. The argument to defund the BBC will hurt far more than the BBC.

  • lewismj_waioeka Michael Lewis (@lewismj_waioeka) reported

    @GaryLineker @Aiannucci If the BBC is great, it will have no trouble getting subscribers, what are you afraid of? Why force say pensioners or the poor to pay a regressive tax? They may be happy with FreeView, why should they be forced into paying for the BBC if they don't want it?

  • mardibum63 mardibum63 (@mardibum63) reported

    @landeleanor People cant afford the Internet at the moment. I already said changing the cost of anything is beyond my abilities much like yours . I'm sure freeview is still available without the need for the internet maybe it could be done that way. Do you have a solution?

  • VinnieVonStarr1 Vinnie Von Starr (@VinnieVonStarr1) reported

    @1neilhallam @RussInCheshire They are prevented from watching them if they can't pay. What if all she has is a freeview TV with no facilities to play on-demand? Noone should be denied access to such a basic thing in the 21st century. Why do you support an extra tax that can easily be abolished?

  • JustTransitionW Just Transition Wakefield (@JustTransitionW) reported

    @SteB777 @GeorgeMonbiot Thinking: without the licence fee, every pensioner will have to buy a subscription service - it will completely undermine the freeview concept. Or we will be left watching ITV and Channel 4 - if that survives… Then as many point out, radio… Not an easy decision for the wise…

  • darrenscrimes Darren Crimes (@darrenscrimes) reported

    @Porrohman @ClaireJHartnell @jamiebglover And if you genuinely don't use the freeview TV service, never see any BBC content etc etc, then you don't have to pay. Idiot.

  • BunniesBum Robb (@BunniesBum) reported

    @JuliaHB1 I'm down to the weather at 5 to the hour, @RealKenBruce, odd Rugby match live, the rest on Freeview. No BT Sky etc

  • lewismj_waioeka Michael Lewis (@lewismj_waioeka) reported

  • spurlswood Andrew (@spurlswood) reported

    @Paul_Briley @jongreydavies @LDNCalling How do you make radio and freeview TV a subscription service?

  • colinelves Colin Elves (@colinelves) reported

    @Glostermeteor @stephenkb I’m sure their grand plan isn’t to turn off the signal, but to make it encoded and subject to subscription. But most freeview boxes that people only now have after a long and expensive campaign of digital switchover that was really only about selling bandwidth to mobile operators
