  • 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??

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 !

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • picstoview HotPics.... (@picstoview) reported

    @BrawBandHome @CityFibre Come on how much longer for fixing the Glasgow / Renfrewshire outage. Can’t get online at all other than my limited mobile data. No freeview so need Internet to work from home or watch TV 😡🤬

  • Fishy2007 Douglas Sinclair (@Fishy2007) reported

    @Susiebags It's been a rant of mine for a long time, it's just awful. England playing almost any type of match, live on Freeview TV, Scotland playing almost any match, no chance it'll be on Freeview TV.

  • Canis63 Old Nick.💙 (@Canis63) reported

    Hmm, loads of my freeview channels are nothing but fuzzy static but the HD versions are fine. Anyone else got that problem?

  • bobthe_dolphin 🐬 Bobs ar oglēm darbināms delfīns 🐬 (@bobthe_dolphin) reported

    @dontdoit61 Try an OS update. If you're streaming try 2.4 rather than 5ghz WiFi stream. Also if it's Freeview try attenuating the Ariel signal...

  • sharepointalex Alex Clark @ Microsoft (@sharepointalex) reported

    Does anyone know if you remove a Virgin Media TV package but keep the broadband whether the TiVo box continues to receive a signal for freeview use? Thanks!

  • charleyb2355 Charleyb2355 (@charleyb2355) reported

    @JohnInAdelaide1 @xskinn They are in the UK. I just use streaming and catch up. Never watch freeview. Even with my streaming fees it is cheaper than the licence fee.

  • h11rstie Stuart Hurst (@h11rstie) reported

    @TalkTalk Hi could you tell me if freeview is down in the BB7 area thanks

  • Louie54330836 Louie (@Louie54330836) reported

    Stop paying for a licence which still sounds **** up, paying to watch freeview #bbc #DefundTheBBC

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @sharepointalex Hi Alex, I believe there is no free service of channels if you cancel your subscription with Virgin. In order to receive Freeview you will need an aerial connected to the TV. Thank you, Melissa

  • ZwitterelfZana DanielleZana🧜🏽‍♀️👽🐈🧝🏽‍♀️💾🌍🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 (@ZwitterelfZana) reported

    Horror channel no longer on Freeview and replaced by Legend channel.. I knew this was going to happen after RT News got the boot. I just can imagine the christofascists taking over the media saying it was demonic and **** … reality has become the horror channel
