    @Disco_Squirrel I’ve got the shitty EE freeview box and it’s one of the apps on there, but never used

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍

  • 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

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

  • 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.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • 1FatKev Kevin Killoran (@1FatKev) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia really poor show all TV channels drop out just as the snooker semifinal is about to finish #freeview why not.

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

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

  • 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😡

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • PhilipMichaelC2 Philip Michael Chapman (@PhilipMichaelC2) reported from Croydon, England

    @PanasonicUK I have Panasonic Viera TV set now the Sony Crime Channel on Freeview channel 40 has moved to channel 60 but when I click on 60 all I get is Loading Interactive Service then the screen goes blank can you help me please or send an engineer

  • 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.

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

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

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    BBC Red Button 1 now has the lying-in-state live stream running until 6:30am on Monday. Satellite has no-commentry coverage from 0800-1700, then suspension. Freeview currently still has suspension. Overall, BBC very slow to confirm arrangements away from BBC One and BBC Two.

  • andy_eastfield Andy (@andy_eastfield) reported

    @MintRoyale My next door neighbours Freeview went down, so you can take one off that number for a start.

  • GreatStrides65 David Turner (@GreatStrides65) reported

    @GabrielVanca @EmergMedDr @PeterTatchell Freeview. Netflix. iPlayer. Plenty of alternatives available to those who don't want someone's way of life shoved down their throats

  • Flic_Kitty Kitty (@Flic_Kitty) reported

    @PeterTatchell Ah yes, the BBC have blocked all other TV channels, all access to freeview, freesat, Sky, Now TV, Netflix, Prime, Brit Box and every other TV and film service in the country. They've also burned all books, DVDs, radios, and blocked Spotify, Deezer etc. Pillock.

  • jamestestarossa James Turner (@jamestestarossa) reported

    @bt_uk Not a freeview issue. Picture is currently doing it and the Home menu is not viewable due to the distortion so unable to check signal strength. Plugged aerial in direct to TV and absolutely fine.

  • BMacfhearghuis Brian MacF (@BMacfhearghuis) reported

    @Smicht @JamesAmcvean Were they going to shoot down the Astra satellite broadcasting freeview out of spite?

  • Black81855312 Black (@Black81855312) reported

    @PeterTatchell Talk sense man Last time I checked I had over 100 channels on Freeview , quite sure the majority of these never showed anything of today's proceedings

  • Artemisapphire Tansy Kelly Robson (@Artemisapphire) reported

    @PeterTatchell You live in a country with hundreds of Freeview Channels that give you hundreds of choices. For one license fee. But you know that, and you don't care, you just want to score cheap points for a populist dopamine hit. So put the gaslight down and stop being a part.

  • Chalky1958 💙Chalky White 💙 (@Chalky1958) reported

    @PeterTatchell So, you've never heard of streaming channels, Freeview & catch up services. Dear me you are a shrouded individual!

  • d2leeds JT (@d2leeds) reported from Threlkeld, England

    @AlStewartOBE @GBNEWS Shame I missed your broadcast. Sadly I’m not at home and the Airbnb tv doesn’t have freeview. Internet also too poor to stream.
