    @MrMalky Get tae **** !! Freeview is a wash with their content and the reason why people stump.up for NetFlix. I give it a year not personally I can't tell you the last thing I watched on ITV and BBC can **** right off !

  • verflucht Mr A$AP Verflucht Esq. (@verflucht) reported from Paisley, Scotland

    @SuperRetroid @jonesthescribe @MrTom Fair point. :) And in fairness, I have never had to use an internal Freeview in a telly in over 14 years. I always thought they'd use the aerial, not the leftover debris from Sky.

  • GoldCascade Stuart (@GoldCascade) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    STV on sat 103 and on Freeview showing wrestling when it shd be Tour Highlights...WTF is going on....at least Eurosport is on later. #STV #tourdefrance

  • Susie61180 Susie (@Susie61180) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @virginmedia all my channels including freeview ones are giving the message 'channel not authorised' this morning, I've rebooted and still the same, any help please??

  • LazyHermit 🌪 (@LazyHermit) reported from Clydebank, Scotland

    @virginmedia Been a Virgin customer for years. Cancelled Tv but have broadband and phone. Even my Freeview channels have been blocked on my boxes!! How churlish can a company get??😳 Freeview channels?! Show some compassion to your customers

  • KTCCLawson Miss Leading Herself, Katy Lawson (@KTCCLawson) reported from Renfrew, Scotland

    TikTok's latest trend is based on Adult Swim and the channel titles or whatever and... I grew up with Freeview television. I have no idea what's going on. I'm so lost. This is nearly as bad as when I tried to watch Phineas & Ferb with people and had no idea what was happening.

  • TravellingScot4 TravellingScotsman (@TravellingScot4) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @nowtvhelp It’s ok they’ll tell to do the exact same things I’ve done already. It’s working now but for how long. And your live chat very rarely works. Or there’s a long wait to speak to someone. When the passes are finished I’ll just cancel and stick to freeview amazon prime and Netflix

  • _Ninji Ninji 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇮 B L M / 1312 (@_Ninji) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @ali_king Now I feel like I should check the 365 Travel channel on Freeview again to see if they’re still advertising cruises that never happened

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • IanOnFilm 🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈📽💿Ian Smith (@IanOnFilm) reported

    TV signal vanished last night again and still isn’t back. One week after fire was put out Freeview say 2+ more weeks to fix. It is staggering to me that the biggest transmission aerial in the country could have been decimated so quickly and with no real contingency plans.

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

    @Adam_Peterkin They use the 'Freesat home transponder', sitting alongside the signal that delivers the Freesat EPG. Unlike the current TV back-up for Freeview multiplex PSB2 via satellite, the DAB multiplexes are not broadcast in a format that your average satellite receiver can handle.

  • MrRandomGuy93 That Random Guy (@MrRandomGuy93) reported

    @abline11 @ImVaradi @davywright65 No, I don't need to, I have a garage for that. Whilst I don't want to sound rude, your generation make me laugh when they try and act like they're so much more intelligent but don't even know how to tune in a digital TV to get freeview.

  • PaulDel70889969 Paul Delaney (@PaulDel70889969) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Freeview didn't start a fire that caused the damage...nor did the company who now manage it. How quick do you think it takes to put up a temporary mast that's over 1000ft high (so that it still reaches everybody affected). You can't expect anyone to just throw a tower up..

  • m0rjc Richard Corfield 🧗📷⚜️⛺ {🏃‍♂️🧭} 🎭 (@m0rjc) reported

    @rdavies6 @Golf_5_TM I don't think many noticed the Freeview failure here. My kids found out when they couldn't get their YouTube fix with the WiFi off.

  • TEOL85 The Evolution Of Life (@TEOL85) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I think you should make a sticky post saying that Freeview is pretty much up and down all week because of full and relay transmitter mass maintenance around most of the UK for the full week. I only just see about it on your website but Twitter is people's first go to to moan.

  • mattarkwright Matt (@mattarkwright) reported

    @virginmedia is there any updates when we’ll get TV working again in DL3?? it’s been down since Tuesday along with freeview

  • poochiewalker Sarah Poochiewalker #MaskUp 💙🇦🇺🇪🇺🏴‍☠️ (@poochiewalker) reported

    @alibi_channel Damn. Subscription only. Why not on freeview!

  • scraggytees nigel teece (@scraggytees) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi .. I love in Norton just outside of stockton.. o service except 14 channels on and off.. No Freeview or BBC .I think now I am entitled to ask when will I see some changes ??

  • Renbymon Zen-Aku ⬛🐺🗡 (@Renbymon) reported

    Apparently it's not just ITV4, most of the Freeview movie channels are "interrupt a movie with 5 minutes of celebrity/sports news".
