Latest outage, problems and issue reports in London and nearby locations:

  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

  • 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.

  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

  • Scare158Steve Scarebear (@Scare158Steve) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @bt_uk Thanks for the help. I spoke to freeview, tried a few things which didn't work but i contacted your TV help and after doing a few basic things somehow it appears to be working now! Very Strange. Tks

  • niklasRen Nik Rahmel (@niklasRen) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @Stephen_Neal Good shout! If we just take the Freeview/Freesat ones, we get to ten, excluding the National ones: 1) BBC One 2) BBC Two 3) BBC Four 4) CBBC 5) CBeebies 6) BBC News 7) BBC Parliament 8) Dave 9) Drama 10) Yesterday But they aren’t licence fee funded, so don’t help the argument.

  • omotforest david sinfield #pssc (@omotforest) reported from West Molesey, England

    To be honest, when you've removed the dependency of other real time tv, i cant see many people chipping in. Many will be paying just to watch their subscription service or Freeview.

  • vjlorenzato Victoria Lorenzato (@vjlorenzato) reported from Brentford, England

    Catholic Twitter UK- help please! Anyone know of a Mass being broadcast on TV tomorrow ( not via internet) Lovely elderly lady has Freeview but no internet.... TIA!

  • Tommy_M_E_J Tom Jordan (@Tommy_M_E_J) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @njvns That’s so shit. It’s literally called freeview and yet it’s not free

  • JensFallesen Jens Fallesen (@JensFallesen) reported from Hounslow, England

    @leksi_p Correct. If you do not have Freeview, Sky or Virgin (or any other cable service), you should not need to pay if you never watch it.

  • nessymon Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England

    @MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.

  • Beige29 Beige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    @loudouglas75 I have such shit freeview I only have itv2+1

  • RegenerateAndy Andy Smith (@RegenerateAndy) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Channel ‘Pick’ on freeview. Never heard of it before but grateful for it tonight #chelsea

  • Marmalord Marmalord (the) (@Marmalord) reported from Epsom and Ewell District, England

    @itvhub Humax FVP-4000T 1TB Freeview Set Top Box Recorder, and having to sign in more or less every time is making us all dislike Martin Freeman

  • budgie Lee 'Budgie' Barnett (@budgie) reported from Richmond, England

    @DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

  • daguvernor tommy harper (@daguvernor) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia once again trying to contact virgin media is a no go a proper waste of time contract has run out trying to cancel they have put the money up to £60 a month for basically 2 freeview boxes I have cancelled my direct debit which is due on the 7 april what a scam😡

  • fishinthedark1 fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

  • 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

  • Beige29 DarkBeige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    Now I have the truly truly shit @EE freeview package (literally the worst selection of channels on earth but boy is it cheap broadband) I only watch the main 5 channels or SVOD. W, Dave, ITV2 etc are dead to me

  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

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

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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • LorraineDWright Lorraine Wright (@LorraineDWright) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I currently have no channels available to watch on Freeview via the Mendip transmitter. Can you advise when this issue will be resolved - this has been ongoing since yesterday.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @daryl_millar Hi, Daryl. Sorry to hear that you're having problems with Freeview. If you're still having issues, DM us your postcode along with the house number or name so we can check for any issues in the area and advise from there. Fraser

  • Kimmieprice19 K I M B E R L Y 🇺🇦💙💛🌻 She/Her (@Kimmieprice19) reported

    @Farmer_Mooo @Depheruk I don’t have a house phone, seeing as I’m hardly home I felt it an unnecessary bill, seeing as freeview channels are awful for children’s programs, forgive me for having Netflix and Disney+ (which is a lot cheaper than sky or virgin May I add!) what a small minded opinion u have!

  • highwaylass Highwaylass 🌻 (@highwaylass) reported

    I’ve had to retreat from Freeview telly. The adverts are winding me up too much. Black November? **** off. It’s Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, IF YOU ARE IN THE USA. Adverts encouraging massive spending on Christmas? Stop guilting people. And adverts for funerals 😳

  • arif_ellam arif ellam (@arif_ellam) reported

    Lost Sky Arts channel 11 on Freeview after retuning TV Anybody else have the same issue?

  • blogmywiki Giles Booth (@blogmywiki) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Hi there - your channel seems to have vanished from my TV. Freeview, London area, strong line-of-site signal from Crystal Palace transmitter. It was there before. Retuning didn't work. Any ideas?

  • ahappystitcher Sally-Jane 💙💛🌻 (@ahappystitcher) reported

    @aj2squared @MattCainWriter We're fully Firesticked. Our lounge tv no longer has a working Internal freeview box inside it, so that's solely Firesticked but I do miss the tv guide. The others are both freeview/Firestick or would be if the signal is there. I think the roof aerial/connections must be faulty.

  • ETusty Emma T (@ETusty) reported

    Yet again poor (well no) freeview signal. Seems that yet again much of the south east is suffering from blackouts this evening. OH's annoyed because he's missing the SAS BBC show, although I did point out he could go onto BBC iplayer which should work.

  • Big_Frank88LFC seán (@Big_Frank88LFC) reported

    @Tipler1983 Considering most people have sky, virgin, freeview & even the skullduggery of IPTV I doubt very much we'll have any broadcasting issues. Plus all shows are on their on demand services which are international

  • MeraparTech Merapar (@MeraparTech) reported

    We joined them as their technology partner and were tasked to re-envision their critical Freeview broadcast infrastructure as a cutting-edge cloud-native solution using Amazon Web Services (#AWS) 💪🏻
