  • PurpleDon1973 MadameCholet (@PurpleDon1973) reported from Ilford, England

    Some days I really wish I'd kept all those calls to @JimDavisOnAir on my freeview box. I've been sent way back in time with a USB memory stick, a few years back with some calls. Damn, I really miss those days with the song choice and #JimDavisLive And it was just brilliant radio

  • JEFFREY03296741 JEFFREY PHILLIPS (@JEFFREY03296741) reported from Brentford, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

  • Stroudgreenguy J. Alfred Prufrock (@Stroudgreenguy) reported from Tottenham, England

    @Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.

  • cycleoptic cycleoptic💙💚 (@cycleoptic) reported from Islington, England

    @jock_savage @ruskin147 This licence lets you use and install receiving equipment at the licensed place. watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat) watch live on streaming services (e.g. ITVX, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now, Sky Go)

  • 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?

  • UB5simon Simon Bye 🐟🔶 (@UB5simon) reported from Southall, England

    All those **** channels on Freeview and it's BBC News HD that gets the chop 🤔

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

  • djjohnyg Dj johny Garcia (@djjohnyg) reported from Richmond, England

    @itvhub Hello, I can’t seem yo be able to watch Live tv on the itv Hub on my Sony Android smart Tv. model Sony 49 KD49XH8196BU Smart 4K UHD LED Freeview TV, can you help please? @SonyTV @Sony

  • flowergirl_lon Sam (Flower Girl) Jennings (@flowergirl_lon) reported from Croydon, England

    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

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

  • 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.

  • M0YMJ Paul Coppin (@M0YMJ) reported from Worcester Park, England

    Freeview in Kent down at present. Anyone else have the same problem

  • maggieinlondon Maggie - wear a mask 💙🏳️‍🌈🌱 (@maggieinlondon) reported from Wandsworth, England

    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Kazza6900 Karen 🧙🔮💜🕊 (@Kazza6900) reported

    @LuckyLu31582986 @virginmedia Switched over to freeview and having no problems at all. I was thinking it was @virginmedia problems

  • Stephen_Neal Stephen Neal (@Stephen_Neal) reported

    @nigelwUK @MatthewMarks42 @bobdvb Odd. It must be doing a 5.1->2.0 PCM fold-down rather than a 5.1 PCM output I guess. There is no stereo on Freeview HD when 5.1 is being broadcast. (On satellite there is a parallel stereo audio description feed)

  • dook42_domini Dook 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇳🇿 (@dook42_domini) reported

    cool freeview signal better.. #Eurovision2022

  • SixfieldsSid Didcot Yard 💙 (@SixfieldsSid) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi I am having trouble with the ITV channels on Freeview, it started a few weeks ago when the picture pixelated and popped, the channel has now disappeared completely and is showing no signal, BBC channels OK

  • PaulSRobson PaulScott (@PaulSRobson) reported

    @Archie167 @RupertLowe10 Freeview has PPV built in. You can see the signal but you can't decode it.

  • veinmire 【V】is still here (@veinmire) reported

    "What's happening" ***** if I wanted to always know other people's interpretation of "what's happening" I wouldn't need the internet for that. I'd just chain myself to freeview television. No one is supposed to absorb this much ****, it's bad for your goddamn mind.

  • StuartDillon1 Stuart Dillon #COYI (@StuartDillon1) reported

    @jonesy_nb I liked Norway's. I was watching it on Freeview but I've lost the signal so watching it on iplayer as well

  • JAQKpanda ♦♠JAQK♥♣🐼Vtuber! (@JAQKpanda) reported

    @KatiKnitt That really sucks. We have the TV license here in the UK, but if you don't actually consume "live TV" (BBC, freeview, live sports, etc.) then you don't actually have to pay for it; in my case, all I use is YT, Twitch & stream subs. Shocking and aggravating that you're forced to!

  • DoubleMackem Steve Ruffell (@DoubleMackem) reported

    @AlStewartOBE Freeview v cable or satellite TV. Mobile phone v smart phone. Holiday abroad v stay at home. Big brand clothes v supermarket brand. Putting more clothes on v keeping heat on. All choices we have to make to 'make ends meet'. Reasonable to check with those seeking support.

  • greysetter greysetter (@greysetter) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice After watching All4 on Freeview, we switch back to live TV, but the sound is missing. We have to turn everything off at the mains then on again, to make the sound return. Can you advise a better way /how to avoid this problem ?
