Freeview Issues Reports Near Kensington, England

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

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

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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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 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 👍

  • 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 😂

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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!

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • garyburton45 gary burton (@garyburton45) reported

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @TherealNihal Think that's bad, tommorow will be 28 days since Teesside lost it's Freeview transmitter. So no sky, no TV. Weirdly got DAB but no FM apart from local radio. It's like being in the Stone age. One positive, mood change is weird, no stress better sleep, easier to get to sleep too.

  • JamiePickles14 Jamie Pickles (@JamiePickles14) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice The problem I am having Is that my New Television Is a Hisense Model which won’t let receive the Freeview even though a new Mast has been put up In Thirsk

  • BendyCuteness Abby Addison (@BendyCuteness) reported

    I’m sure any one who dose free view can relate with how annoying people are in freeview “BRB let me top up” Never returns “ twirl for me “ just wants to jerk for free “ where you from?” I just want meet me not interested in camming

  • stephen_j_moran Stephen Moran (@stephen_j_moran) reported

    Virgin Media broadband is brilliant, phone line and mobile sims good, but their TV offering is poor. Alas, they package them all together. Their basic TV offering is no better than Freeview. The rest are exorbitant Sky packages etc. Apps dead slow through TiVo. Firestick v fast.

  • king4856 Paul King (@king4856) reported

    @FreeviewTV Great news for those who can get any channels still zero at YO624LE and I read in the paper it could be two months before a signal is relayed from Bilsdale : you at freeview should hang your heads in shame 😡😡😡

  • CamillaWestUK MILLIE → UK ******* | ADMIREME ♡ (@CamillaWestUK) reported

    @BendyCuteness I tried freeview on AW once for about 2 minutes. Never again!! I take my hat off to those who have it on all the time.

  • russ_nicol Russ Nicol 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@russ_nicol) reported

    @Penelop11785074 @OwenJones84 @GBNEWS Unfair to judge on a YT clip of anything. Shame your freeview signal is so poor. You can download the GBNews app onto your phone however and watch it live there.

  • pageturner_92 Emma✨ (@pageturner_92) reported

    When our TV was installed the guy said we didn't need to worry about the satellite signal dropping when the weather was bad because the freeview would easily run through the Sky. Well guess what, it is absolutely pouring down with rain and we've lost all signal!

  • DempseyEN 𝘿𝙀𝙈𝙋𝙎𝙀𝙔 (@DempseyEN) reported

    @tamago2474 Freeview folks be like... Wtf are they talking about
