  • 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😡

  • 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.

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Pogit Richard Adams (@Pogit) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’m asking if its coming to Freeview Play, why would Sky know that? The BBC have said it’s coming to internet connected TV services (including Sky Glass). Freeview Play is an internet connected TV service it not? One not limited by manufacturer unlike Sky’s service.

  • DugMillward The Rodent (@DugMillward) reported

    @Channel4 & @channel5_tv with all the problems with your networks going down, no subtitles unavailable to the deaf, why not open a 2nd channel on Freeview with all the same programming at the same time (like the HD channels), but with a Signer and subtitles on screen at all times

  • smogski74 Phil Parkes (@smogski74) reported

    No tv signal... this bilsdale transmitter has alot to answer for..where can I get the freeview

  • Feather_Dancer Feather_Dancer (@Feather_Dancer) reported

    @Noehaddock You can tell how the "Spot Conrad in the background" is going :p Not watched many episodes this week, they had Amazing Spiderman (Terrible) and Venom (******* fantastic) on freeview so kinda watched those instead lol

  • clazza40 Claire (@clazza40) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice no channels in SN6 since last Thursday but no reported problems when calling the Freeview helpline. How do we report? Entire village affected. TIA

  • Reuben04748504 Reuben (@Reuben04748504) reported

    @ThisisACTV Think loosing the number on channels like sky is doing with sky one does give more impact on streaming service. The numbers ok if Freeview and channel hopping but the future landscape is more streaming so build up change now try out new things before it's too late.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    The sat backup combines Freeview multiplex BBC-A and BBC-B, without the full selection of BBC English Regions, so relays that fall back on satback may offer 'the wrong local news' until normal service returns. It's also very popular in Spain for reasons I won't go in to here...

  • stephengetty6 stephen getty (@stephengetty6) reported

    Watching Porridge on Freeview classic 70’s BBC comedy brilliantly funny and clever comedy . Such a difference to all the dumbed down American television served up on Netflix these days

  • mspaintera you can make my name out of "nyaitchinisan" (@mspaintera) reported

    @FreeviewTV freeview i have a serious question , what’s the point of your service it just redirects you to other apps

  • hopeless_punter Dan Chivers (@hopeless_punter) reported

    @wgf1976 @GBNEWS It's not news though. Call it Farage TV and stick it on YouTube for those that want it. No problem with that. Broadcasting as a "news" channel, in the news section of the EPG, using precious Freeview capacity? *That* I don't believe in, no. No right thinking person would.
