  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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😡

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • bl0ke a humorously-shaped potato (@bl0ke) reported

    @virginmedia I believe it's a V6 TiVo box. Output has always been quieter than the same channel on Freeview but trying to watch the film #Yesterday... uh.. yesterday.. was terrible. Had to set the TV to 90% to get a decent sound level.

  • jennimcparland1 Jennifer McParland (@jennimcparland1) reported

    @ThisDave @FergusCraig Have one! Still have a problem with sky coming through it ( which is how we get our tv as the freeview signal is sh**t!

  • tiegsx tiegan 🦋 (@tiegsx) reported

    I thought i was going to get rag dolled up and down craigshill for a min there cos my tv doesnt work for freeview for the football cos ive no wifi yet 😭😭😭

  • DboxerScfc DBoxer_SCFC (@DboxerScfc) reported

    Just got in from work. Retuned the tv & bingo, Food Network is back on my Freeview, after going missing last week

  • blogmywiki Giles Booth (@blogmywiki) reported

    Some spoilers on Twitter for anyone watching on a streaming service rather than Freeview.

  • NOWHelpTeam NOW Help Team (@NOWHelpTeam) reported

    @SarahJChadwick This would be under freeview, NOW APP does not have bbc 1 2 3 or 4 or ITV channels live unfortunately we never did, the APPS are free to download on our devices.

  • peteprodge Pete Prodge (@peteprodge) reported

    @NoSpinZone_ @QuidVeritas A reach in a week of just a million is incredibly bad for a channel on Freeview, satellite and cable. No wonder Paw Patrol IN WELSH gets an audience over five times their size!

  • therealemmilene 👑 DommEmmilene 👑 🍑*** 🍑 😈 Switch😇 (@therealemmilene) reported

    @mayapetitee Omg do you remember someone with the username Eyecam? Used to constantly dip in and out everyone's Freeview without talking , never paid for grp/Pvt chat 🙄🙄

  • RyanABAOPod Ryan (@RyanABAOPod) reported

    @virginmedia Tried everything and had to watch the first half on a small TV that has freeview in our dining room! Literally rebooted several times and no joy. The internet is down as well and don't have good signal so having to connect via hotspot to tweet. Nightmare.

  • julianfells Julian Fells (@julianfells) reported

    @henry_stleger @LGUK @techradar I’l confess U saw this excellent article, but feel it needs a wider audience. Now LG have fixed the issue for 2921 TVs there’s a danger they’ll forget about us (like Netcast). So please keep up the pressure on LG and Freeview to resolve this for 2030 LG TVs. Thanks!
