  • 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.

    The Good, the Bad and The Ugly is just starting now on Paramount network freeview 32

    @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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

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

  • 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

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • featuredreamer Ian S Rickard (@featuredreamer) reported

    @NLebrecht I didn't hear that problem. It sounded fine on my Freeview digital TV and combined HiFi. I will try to take ore notice of the balance of instruments, as the Proms continue.

  • NatureelVideo Paul Russell (@NatureelVideo) reported

    @a516digital Perhaps Sky will point to Arts now being available on Freeview and Freesat as a bigger positive than the negative of nudging it down the Sky EPG order.

  • ADewiM Alex (@ADewiM) reported

    @King_Buxton @JeffGrubb Had to look it up to see if my memory was broken and I guess they just renamed UKTV G2 then Gold stopped being freeview a few years later.

  • mickyjay Micky Jay (@mickyjay) reported

    @PhoenixTCat @MPrepuce We lurv #FREESAT it offers SÖ MUCH MØRE than #FREEVIEW and costs not a Squid more than the initial dish & decoder! I still fail to comprehend WHY THE HELL ANYÒNE CÖULD EVEN CONSIDER @VirginMedia. Yùķ!

  • luke100watt Luke Watt (@luke100watt) reported

    @GMB can someone do a public service & inform the 75yr old pensioners if they don't watch BBC or Live TV(most TV's now have Freeview so catch up) they do NOT need to pay the TV licence. See MoneySavingExpert (Martin Lewis) website for how to stop licence. Don't need to phone BBC.

  • paulofthepool Paulofthepool (@paulofthepool) reported

    @DeliaNGoG That is really low signal strength. Is this via an aerial or digitally? If an aerial looks like it's out of whack direction-wise. Had a storm? If using Freeview you probably will lose a lot if not got decent signal strength and only picking up from nearest transmitter.

  • parazoner You're Living In Thought So (@parazoner) reported

    @BaneNook The 10 minute freeview at 12am every night channel 546. Never did me any harm!

  • Stephen_Neal Stephen Neal (@Stephen_Neal) reported

    @HemingwayDM @BBCTwo @bbcproms I don't have a working Freeview HD aerial at the moment so can't easily listen on my Sony in London. Proms are 5.1 - so TVs will be doing a down-mix to stereo (but so are the Olympics)

  • JimGilroy Jim ⚫️🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 💙 (@JimGilroy) reported

    Wow! This thunderstorm is still doing it’s rounds. It’s even knocked our tv arial and satellite out. No signal on Freeview or Freesat. Thankfully I have a tv stick and an internet connection still.

  • jamgyal Dan (@jamgyal) reported

    @liisa_agren @bbcproms @BBC It’s closed down on Freeview. I’ve got the option to cast it from the phone instead.)
