  • 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

  • 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.

  • LexFuturus LexFuturus (@LexFuturus) reported from Longfield, England

    Terrible streaming quality via YouTube! @btsport should have made it freeview #UCLfinal

  • u0421793 Ian K Tindale (@u0421793) reported from East Ham, England

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    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 😂

  • IanDavidRoss1 @thebadissuecollective (@IanDavidRoss1) reported from Lambeth, England

    Freeview tv is crap again tonight ,apart from french war drama on BBC2 - The Guardians(2017) I missed the first 30min ,so will watch from the start at first opportunity,Going to check Netflix.

  • 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?

  • StevenGothard Steven Gothard (@StevenGothard) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @S66Cams @ellabellajolie @sashalouise__x I've lost studio 66 on freeview can you help please

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

    Time for the BBC to close down the BBCNews channel as they always seem to put it on BBC1 at same time WHY as BBCNews is available on sky freesat and freeview you dont need it on BBC1

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • CJP_services Chris (@CJP_services) reported

    @SkyNews Oh crap, another subscription to cancel. Already ditched sky. Just amazon prime left and then after that just left with freeview that I have to spend £160 a year to BBC to watch GB News. Hardly free view. Oh well in 1970s we had a mere 3 channels.

  • spidermanmsy Francis (@spidermanmsy) reported

    @AdrianEdmondson It's the amount of bloody repeats that gets me...even hours/days rolling films that aren't changed for 2 - 3 weeks 🙄 Even the older films repeated...must be 1k's films that haven't seen daylight gotta be better than current crap! This is of course re freeview tv channels!

  • sedition3 Adrianne Sebastian-Scott (@sedition3) reported

    @LemSip27 ITV is down. Freeview has a written announcement "Service is not running" for over an hour.

  • a_rdavey subject impermanence (@a_rdavey) reported

    @pde62 @Bazza315 @AvonandsomerRob "I think charities should have the power to take away people's TV packages on pain of starvation, while the government - instead of them proper support - installs Freeview. Because my brain is mush and assume they don't have this already, but I want to punish the poor further"

  • sedition3 Adrianne Sebastian-Scott (@sedition3) reported

    Freeview not working, some London tube stations shut down.

  • triplemeister Jay Hill (@triplemeister) reported from Downham Market, England

    @R59V8 I don't know what we pay, so I don't know how good a deal we get. But at least with Freeview you are close enough to the big mast to get no issues. Up here it is terrible - The slightest tropo and it's unwatchable

  • gareth71 Gareth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@gareth71) reported

    @WelshGasDoc @itvhub Oh yus. Dreadful. UK’s most popular soap (Corrie) not even on their front page any more. On iplayer you can start watching a prog on catchup any time after it’s started on Freeview - on ITV you have to wait until several minutes after it’s finished. And UI is *awful*.

  • DaveyBoi73 Dave ♿️ Esq (@DaveyBoi73) reported

    @Fibutton Which TV service do you use? Really is available on Freeview 17, Freesat 160, Sky 142, Virgin 129 and discovery+ UK.

  • Dpoet58 Don (@Dpoet58) reported

    @FreeviewTV CA14 Workington, no freeview signal on both receivers. I visually checked my aerial, it's still pointing the same way as all the others. All my neighbours are at work so can't check with them.

  • sashasimic Sasha Simic (@sashasimic) reported

    Watching a jaw-droppingly saccharine krimi on some freeview channel featuring crime-busting nun #SisterBonniface clearing up the phenomenally high murder rates in a twee 50s English village that makes #Midsomer look like 70s New York. Hypnotically horrible.
