  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, England

    @MyHydeHome @SCCIAlphatrack Not even sure how that's possible there's no record anyways over the weekend we lost signal for the communal aerial it has become very weak very pixelated can pick up the Freeview HD channels

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

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

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

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

  • 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

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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.

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

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

  • EranE1980 Eran Edry (@EranE1980) reported from Camden Town, England

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • petrolheadtoo Not Gary (@petrolheadtoo) reported

    The first 12 minutes of Sky (freeview) news at 1pm today in the UK was about a trial in the USA. I am so glad i do not pay for this rubbish. I know they are owned by the same company (Comcast) as a major USA woke network

  • summers_allan Allan Kempson (@summers_allan) reported from Romford, England

    @talkSPORT @Sjopinion10 That's a bad idea. Sky have rights to other sports too, so a netflix football service would be yet another thing to pay for if you like multiple sports. More football needs to be on freeview channels like BBC and ITV.

  • mmaconachie Martyn Maconachie (@mmaconachie) reported

    I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but my EPG on Freeview is now saying #TOTP is not on until 9:30, and it's not the 13th December episode.

  • StrictlyOsprey Mark Jones (@StrictlyOsprey) reported

    @RuthElleson I think part of the problem is there used to be two Red Button channels on Freeview to cover the two tables. That and the statement BBC4 is no longer for original programming so at least it’s not a repeat!

  • KarolKeenan Karol Keenan 💙 (@KarolKeenan) reported

    @EE We were told we could continue to use it as a freeview box and would be able to watch all the recordings. Thanks for your empty words but it remains that your customer service is dreadful. There is no need to disable them so they don’t work. #scammers #ShameOnYou

  • TheRealAJYoung AJ Young 💙 🇪🇺 🏳️‍🌈😷 (@TheRealAJYoung) reported

    @ChefGarethS Cheers. I did think of a factory reset, but Freeview are going to check it out in case it's a problem in the area.

  • Sean7032efc seanefc (@Sean7032efc) reported

    @Tigga1878 @captainfriendz1 @vintage1878 Freeview they said **** all free about it

  • Ooh_Matron Richard Pearmain (@Ooh_Matron) reported

    The Tom Cruise War Of The Worlds is on TV tonight, the blurb on the Freeview listings says it "deals with adult themes" - I've never heard aliens in giant tripods described like that before

  • GeoffBrewer Geoff Brewer @RenewParty #FBPE #APPG @MakeVotesMat (@GeoffBrewer) reported

    2/ the EE TV service. What are other formerly happy EE TV clients feeling about and doing about this? Is there any way we can continue to use the EE TV box for receipt, recording Freeview programmes etc ?

  • iangray71 ian gray (@iangray71) reported

    @BritishArmy @HCav1660 An absolute waste of taxpayers money..no need for it at all, unless private funding can be found to finance it all...freeview holiday destination only...scrap it now...stupid ancient uniforms, swords, boots, relics..
