  • 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

  • AngusCapitan El Capitan ⚓️ (@AngusCapitan) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @HotsnaxMihole @BreedersCup Us poor folk only have Freeview.

  • 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.

  • 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??

  • Andysimpson74 Andrew Simpson (@Andysimpson74) reported from Alexandria, Scotland

    Anyone having problems at the minute with Freeview? The last couple of days I haven’t had any tv, it just says check your aerial antenna.

  • fitzscrounger Benny Fitzscrounger (@fitzscrounger) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @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 !

  • 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

  • shambo1ic shambolic (@shambo1ic) reported from Bowling, Scotland

    @kentindell Tbh every time I turn on my LG it asks if I want to programme channels. I have no antenna connected. I use it for streaming and Sky so never needed freeview etc. not so smart smart Tv

  • 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

  • _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

  • 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.

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GarethBarkley Gareth Barkley (@GarethBarkley) reported

    Why is changing channels on my Humax Freeview box so slow? The interface literally has one job.

  • rachelgmarks Sir Rachel Marks 🦟(imagine it's blue) (@rachelgmarks) reported

    @joeb_EY Analog TV has, I think, now been switched off everywhere, so you'll need to access Freeview. Check with your neighbours whether they get a Freeview signal - mountains can be pesky (bad enough where I am with gentle hills!). I solved it by getting a Roku Express to convert...

  • TommyRethink Tommy Flanagan (@TommyRethink) reported

    We have an old DTT freeview box in our cord-never house that only makes special appearances every two years, when the old girl is dusted off for the World Cup and the Euros. Tells you all you need to know about reliability of live streaming services for footy. Anyone else?

  • Prof_Plumtree Professor Plumtree (@Prof_Plumtree) reported

    @davehendon @eurosport @WeAreWST it isn't an issue to me as I can watch online, but why has freeview QUEST stopped showing the snooker?

  • tvfanatics22 TVFanatics (TVF) (@tvfanatics22) reported

    Main server restart due to everyone having a melt down over a freeview channel on such a service. Sorry in advanced... but still 3-0 🙌🏻

  • pixieglas Claire Vaughan she/her 〓〓 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🎬 (@pixieglas) reported

    @TheDaiLlew It took me so long to get out of being a Virgin customer. I eventually got out of the grind by getting a satellite dish installed via BT (as a new customer for the a year) then buying a Freeview box. Now I just have to get the Internet from somewhere and can shop around. Pob lwc!

  • richtea78 richtea78 (@richtea78) reported

    @p4G3y30 @MartinSLewis If you watch or record TV on any channel via any TV service (e.g. Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Freesat), you need to be covered by a TV Licence. You don’t need a TV Licence if you never watch live on any channel, TV service or streaming service, or use BBC iPlayer*. On any device.

  • Gibney_A Andrew (The Gib Show) 🦄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Gibney_A) reported

    @virginmedia Freeview service?

  • continueplayer2 Ricky Mason (@continueplayer2) reported

    @Aine090676 @channel5_tv England not working via satellite but is via freeview

  • green_powder2 GP (@green_powder2) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Best channel on TV.Hopefully it never loses its slot on Freeview like a couple of other much missed channels.
