  • 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

  • robinjuste Robin Juste Emery (@robinjuste) reported from Gillingham, England

    Fog risk and disruption to TV and radio transmissions. Expect some lost Freeview or low signal channels on some mornings next week! #KentWeather @AffinityDJ @AffinityKent

  • htwcentral Historical Television Website (@htwcentral) reported

    @whocolour @WhyNotts_ @Forces_TV Also from what I've read in the past, there's a future intention to further slim down Freeview to make way for more mobile frequency allocations and the subsequent switch to HD will mean only twelve or so channels in total. There won't be any +1 services so not as bad as it seems

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    Freeview have an outage map with latest UK areas with reception problems. However, those areas mentioned yesterday are dropped from the map. I still have no freeview signal. Still no explanation or apology. Day two.

  • AndrewBowden Andrew Bowden (@AndrewBowden) reported

    @LornaGoodyear Paramount+ is a new streaming service so it's built into many TVs. But actually there are Freeview channels that need an internet connection so yes there are channels thatb can't be watched on normal TVs

  • dzonershow Association of Cartoon Talent & Services by Darren (@dzonershow) reported

    @RegularTweetsUK Also the HD versions of BBC News and Discovery Quest airing on freeview are shutting down next week due com7 band phasing out for 5g spectrum

  • itvhubhelp ITV Hub Help (@itvhubhelp) reported

    @devonfromdevon @itvhub Thank you for confirming this, with some Freeview devices to activate subtitles you'll need to switch them on so you'll need to enable subtitles via the TV's captions/accessibility settings. If you're having trouble with this, please DM us - with your TV's Model Number.

    Freeview, on their webpage, state they were having issues since 6am today. No , it started at 4.20pm GMT yesterday. My watching of tennis at Queens had just started. Ryan had just started playing. Had to catch up with data only on my phone.

  • LuminolNights Ethan Black (@LuminolNights) reported

    I have a tv and I’ve never even accidentally come across GB News or wherever it is that Piss Morgan steals his bread. Where is it broadcast, freeview?

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    Freeview were right about one thing. It was a webpage called: is the service down.
