    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • DavidSwindells1 David Swindells (@DavidSwindells1) reported from Macclesfield, England

    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

  • Northern_Steve Steve, just Steve (@Northern_Steve) reported from Manchester, England

    @mickmcfc1 I'll never know. I've pulled the cable out. BBC Parliament on freeview only from now on. They talk absolute bollocks but rarely about football. I'm in!

  • MikeBates04 Mike 🇬🇧 #Britishindependent (@MikeBates04) reported from Manchester, England

    @NetflixUK as gone shit pay to see old flims that you get free on Freeview so what's the point 👊👊👊👊👊

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @dramachannel The trouble is the general bit rate and 540x544 resolution are so poor on Freeview that even the adverts and trailers frequently look like they are being played from a badly worn VHS tape, add archive material to that and it becomes a blocky detail free mess.

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    Just a real shame that @BBCRedButton is only in SD on Freeview as the picture quality is very poor - poorer than usual IMO. They could easily have provided live coverage in HD by cutting the hours of @CBBC HD for the fortnight.

  • Amanda45887585 Amanda (@Amanda45887585) reported

    @DisorderAwesome Only have freeview I think. Don’t pay for any service

  • s5ingh sam 🦁🦁🦁 (@s5ingh) reported

    @ErickWGN16 @scottygb @Eurosports Damn it I only have Freeview :(

  • Oldcynic9 Granny B.Goode 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Oldcynic9) reported

    @SooksThe @GBNEWS Deffo ,👍 we can get it on the main TV through virgin but can't watch on bedroom tv on freeview as signal is from a relay mast. Luckily it's a smart tv so can get YouTube. Great news.

  • purple_dragon25 kelly * double jabbed * (@purple_dragon25) reported

    Challenge and Pick are not working. Typical Freeview.

  • AliceP104 Alice Pennington💙 (@AliceP104) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, I’m struggling to get a consistent signal when watching BBC One and BBC Two on my Freeview box. I even retuned my box and changed regions and that hasn’t solved the problem. Could you please look into if BBC transmitters are experiencing issues? Thank you.

  • HiberniaLife Mary White (@HiberniaLife) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi there. I know this is not your issue but someone i know wants to get RTE Irish tv in northern ireland but only a couple of channels are coming through. What can she do to pick them all up? Are some Irish channels on UK Freeview also?

  • Nicky_Harrison_ 𝗘𝗸𝗹𝗲𝗸𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗡𝗶𝗸𝗶💁🏻‍♀️🇬🇧 (@Nicky_Harrison_) reported

    @scrane__ @GBNEWS 1/2 I wasn't keen on #NanaAkua being replaced anyway, but when I seen him, I soon found out he was a ****. I didn't hang around either. His schedule was sent to #Freeview by #GBNews on Monday, or was it Tuesday? It went on our TV EPG's straight away. Today, Nana's new show..

  • D__2__1 DANIEL (@D__2__1) reported

    Aside, imho the effort here to give them their own show vs. Doing the same for the (much larger) Asian populations implicitly shows whites (+other groups) don't think they are capable without help (contra the scores of Asian channels on freeview).
