  • 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.

  • _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

  • 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

    @HotsnaxMihole @BreedersCup Us poor folk only have Freeview.

  • 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.

  • 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??

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

  • doctorgreyboots Graham Taylor (@doctorgreyboots) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi we have had no freeview signal at all for about a week now. YO31 area of York, served by Bilsdale. Freeview status page for my postcode says there are outages in my area but I can't find any more information. Help!

  • Ravenblade86 Paul Convery (@Ravenblade86) reported

    @_mels13 my parents are having the same problem with RTE 1 on Freeview

  • ukdtt UK Terrestrial TV (@ukdtt) reported

    Channel 23, BBC THREE, has been added to PSB1 (East W) (was unlisted [Service 0x10c0]) #Freeview

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @d0hertyry4n @TomRafferty4 Well of course it isn’t. Yes. You said on your other tweet that you think only Freeview viewers (the elderly and poor) should pay. 👍

  • JustLEAVEeu Just Leave.EU (@JustLEAVEeu) reported

    Just because we’re in a “universal broadcasting bad place”, is not an excuse not to bite the bullet and move to a subscription model to fund the BBC. Yes, some people reliant on Freeview will lose out, that’s life! There are other ways to enjoy life, go 2 the pub, church, mosque

  • sazenrose Sarah Gerrard (@sazenrose) reported

    After 3 attempts (partly due to Freeview issues 🙄) I have finally got to the end of #StarTrekVoyager. 🥳 Gonna miss my dose of Delta Quadrant Trek.

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    @mashcore4mums @a516digital I know that Channels are move down one EPG number on Freeview on January 26th. I have not seen news on BBC ONE HD England channels being moving to Channel 101 on January 26th on Virgin Media. When BBC ONE HD Scot. was moving I did see info screen about the move for a week before

  • NeilRBowers Neil Bowers (@NeilRBowers) reported

    @skytv Hi, Sky Arts is available on FreeView but I get very poor TV reception. How can I watch it online? I have a TV Licence.

  • jonwensley Jon Wensley (@jonwensley) reported

    @PeteSmi15995270 @NorfolkGood1 @DefundBBC But the BBC isn't. And, if the BBC is removed from Freeview, then the platform will die. So unless you make people buy/subscribe to a set-top box like Sky/Virgin (at >£20 per month) they won't have access to any of these channels. Yep, that would go down well.

  • Davcobbler Bill Craven (@Davcobbler) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice My freeview channles such as Quest and Drama hwve no signal. Others OK but not great quality. NN11 0RE using Anglia transmitter. Would I be better from Midland.
