  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • Stroudgreenguy J. Alfred Prufrock (@Stroudgreenguy) reported from Tottenham, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

    @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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • flowergirl_lon Sam (Flower Girl) Jennings (@flowergirl_lon) reported from Croydon, England

    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed 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

  • UB5simon Simon Bye 🐟🔶 (@UB5simon) reported from Southall, England

    All those **** channels on Freeview and it's BBC News HD that gets the chop 🤔

    @freeview no signal Sutton Coldfield transmitter

  • RosalynConnors Ros Connors (@RosalynConnors) reported

    Oh not again! Brighton Festival on @bbcsoutheast Yesterday it was Redhill in the Home Counties @BBCLondonNews area. For God's Sake please let's be rid of this so-called "South-East" news service from the Bluebell Hill Freeview mast with its constant references to Brighton.

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @NikkiDiddams @FreeviewTV Freeview aka crap tv have never been able to supply a decent signal we lost any signal last night from 9pm till 1am I'm actually emailing advertisers to let them know if they had advertised that time period Swindon sn3 and thousands in UK could not see them to get refunds

  • rainbowshaz62 shaz62 (@rainbowshaz62) reported

    Freeview issues in Guildford and surrounding areas been happening more and more. Lost all channels but BBC and Itv and E4 the rest say no signal. Housebound fun times.

  • Barfette Barfette (@Barfette) reported

    @BlightyUK Totes agree, I do not usually watch GMB I watch Sky news on Freeview, BUT THAT morning I couldn't get a signal and was privy to the debacle. I thought he was a weatherman yet he was sitting beside the presenter the other day, ideas above his weather station methinks.

  • LukaMoric14 Brian (@LukaMoric14) reported

    @shattenstone Totally agree Lots of great arts programmes over the years Will they find a home elsewhere or quietly disappear? Has the BBC seen Sky Arts channel on Freeview and thought, that's it, we don't need to bother anymore? Is it the new DG plan to dumb down?

  • TommyCoyneBN1 Tommy Melancholy Goose Honks 🦢 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 😷 Coyne (@TommyCoyneBN1) reported

    My #Freeview signal seems to have died. Either that or my telly is up The Swannee ☹

  • JCLMackn John Macknight (@JCLMackn) reported

    @bbcpointswest Why no reports on Freeview transition problems in the region. We would like to know about massive outages in last 24 hours

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @roger44 @FreeviewTV Wow 3 hours no signal in Swindon what do we get let me tell you. No apology. No explanation. No idea when freeview returns. Total silence. Maybe you need better staff. Better customer service and maybe a new brand, I suggest you try crap tv it's discriptiveand and true. 🤔

  • andrewe12345678 Andrew (@andrewe12345678) reported

    @ReeceShearsmith Channel 68 on Freeview. Never seen this film, will give it a go!
