  • 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

  • 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

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

  • 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.

  • 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 !

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • JamesMartinTVR James Martin (@JamesMartinTVR) reported

    The other issue with the @bbceurovision geoblock is in normal years, the semis are on BBC Three; not available in HD in Scotland or Wales on Freeview. So these viewers have no way to watch in HD.

  • JohnHog94627424 John Hogg (@JohnHog94627424) reported

    @MinettaLane freeview chanell 82 talking pictures show his films regularly trouble in store was on last week

  • cbrown0601 Christopher Brown (@cbrown0601) reported

    @virginmedia no broadband since 0730 on Tuesday - no engineer until Tuesday 11 April. Tv playing up too. What a Happy Easter treat. I am about to plug in my old rooftop aerial on Freeview for the weekend 😫

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @cutex24 Hi. It may be worth a re-tune if you've not tried that already. If you are still having problems it may be worth contacting Freeview themselves: Problems watching Freeview | Freeview

  • EmmaLovelace Emma Lovelace (@EmmaLovelace) reported

    BBC channels are breaking up on Freeview, it really is a poop service. Really not worth the money paying the licence fee for.

  • juedan3 Stelson (@juedan3) reported

    @AmazonHelp Yes it's a known fault. I've spoken to the Toshiba UK support team a month ago and they told me there is an issue with your software causing issues with Freeview HD channels. They told me Amazon need to update the software. The TV has the latest software and has been returned.

  • Danko838343 퓒퓪퓻퓵퓸퓫퓪 🔮✨ (@Danko838343) reported

    Prime Minister Liz Truss has announced domestic energy bills will be capped at £2,500 for two years from the start of 1 October as part of a support bill to ease cost of living. 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

  • NigelRollings Nigel Rollings (@NigelRollings) reported

    @LesleyB58051421 It's been fine the last two days. This morning, when I switched it on at 10:27, it defaulted to Absolute Radio. I've given up and switched to Freeview for today but it's a dodgy signal!

  • pifflevalve Jon 🎄 (@pifflevalve) reported from Warkleigh, England

    My dad: “I don’t think we’ve got that Tory news channel on the Freeview have we? I’ve never seen it” Me, to myself: “No, I delete it every time you ask me to do the channel rescan”

  • TVNZ TVNZ+ (@TVNZ) reported

    @sillymidoff Kia ora Ruth! Sorry to hear about this. We're checking in with the team now to check on this! What were you watching on the TVNZ+ app (was it live or a show streaming via TVNZ+?) and did you have the same issues via Freeview or Sky?
