Freeview Issues Reports Near London, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in London and nearby locations:

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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😡

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

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

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • laotianrockrat Mr Socko (@laotianrockrat) reported

    @BierStarmer @GoingMedieval There's a directors cut of this I never knew existed until I happened to catch it in on some freeview channel a while ago. Lots of extra Rickman but it's way darker in tone so you can see why it wasn't in the original release.

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @russty_russ Hugely disappointing as they on concentrated on Teletext Holidays, a digital service on Freeview at the time.

  • B260Eb EB B260 (@B260Eb) reported

    @AnnSkelly3 Don't go for Virgin, it's awful. The woman I work for was with sky and paying a fortune. One of the other staff recommended virgin, think it was because she got £50 for recommending it. All freeview channels are now gone. So called Free virgin channels are terrible

  • Gooner725 Deep (@Gooner725) reported

    @BBCiPlayer Hi - can one of your technical staff explain why iPlayer is unable to pass a basic 5.1 soundtrack after all this time? Almost every other streaming service can handle it. Why do I have to choose between UHD + 2.0 or HD (Freeview/Sky) + 5.1. Thanks!

  • Ronagig Ro "there are four lights" (@Ronagig) reported

    @K_Flynny369 Can't get it tuned in on Freeview, signal not good enough 🙄 Enjoy it for me

  • hexodecimal blow 2021 (@hexodecimal) reported

    @afneil @GBNEWS The channel is too much of the same for my liking. Good to see you on TV again but your signal isn't strong enough for me to get it on Freeview

  • NausicaasPsyche NausicaasPsyche (@NausicaasPsyche) reported

    no, resetting your smart tv will not fix your catch up issues. -reload your freeview stations. -enter your passwords. -that's the wrong password (no it's not netflix). -log into your email to reset your password. -reenter your password. do not try this at home 😭😭

  • pagechord Alan Royston (@pagechord) reported

    @simonnread I've struck lucky today, normally Talking Pics pixelates. Will record and watch later. Ever since they tinkered with Freeview the signal has been appalling. Laurel & Hardy still funny to this day.

  • Mark_Ma77 Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Mark_Ma77) reported

    @MSwift94 Honestly think a better solution to get people into cricket (I presume this is what it's for) would be to just put more normal cricket and more t20 cricket on freeview telly.

  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    This is not good. Freeview signal has disintegrated in the middle of In the night garden 😱
