    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 😂

    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?

    @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

  • 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.

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, England

    @MyHydeHome @SCCIAlphatrack Not even sure how that's possible there's no record anyways over the weekend we lost signal for the communal aerial it has become very weak very pixelated can pick up the Freeview HD channels

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • samthom90 Sam Thompson (@samthom90) reported

    @SarahJaffray2 I’ve mainly got it because we’ve got issues with our reception. Often a lot of channels from freeview break up. Also, I’ve added on sky sports so I can watch the football.

  • wardtours Noel Ward 👁🇮🇪🇪🇺 (@wardtours) reported

    @euroweeklynews Don’t know why anyone pays for Sky, most ch’s worth watching are available for free on freesat (not freeview, is not & has never been available in Ireland)

  • Huriye Huriye (@Huriye) reported

    @michaelhogan I'm reading from @New_Adventures that @SkyArts is now on Freeview channel 11, but when I tune in, it's still Pick channel. Any help please?

  • giselle97 Giselle #FBPE 🕷 (@giselle97) reported

    @FreeviewTV Why does Freeview say there are no problems with either Sandy Heath or Belmont transmitter when the whole of my local neighbourhood has no signal reception at all?

  • wiganshale john shale (@wiganshale) reported

    @virginmedia @Ofcom just to let you know that tivo is still freezing up, whilst my wife is watching it and that your only solution is to turn it off and on is not an appropriate response. take the tivo away and deduct from my bundle and I'll get a Freeview box.

  • peter_melvyn Peter Melvyn714 (@peter_melvyn) reported

    FREEVIEW : My oh my, what a load of utter garbage is prevalent on freeview now, the number of repeats is totally unacceptable and the commercial breaks are getting longer and longer, as long as 20 MINUTES would you believe, and as for the shopping channels, too much junk

  • mattohare mattohare (@mattohare) reported

    @rtenews Too bad we can't get this in the North. Freeview blocks RTE and TG4. Tommy Gorman knows and supports it. He said so in a telephone call.

  • margatesunsets Fiona K. (@margatesunsets) reported

    @HabberleySteve @dancludlow @ShirleyMadin1 Andrew Neil is fronting a new news broadcasting service in the New Year. Called GB News, I think! It's going to be on Freeview, which I can't get! I use Freesat.

  • deadstar37 Vicky 💙 (@deadstar37) reported

    I know the news is important. But **** same the bbc have a designated news channel that’s viewable to everyone (?) on freeview. Why does it keep having to be on the main channels when all it is is bad news
