  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • ben_k_99 Ben (@ben_k_99) reported from Thornliebank, Scotland

    @figuremonkey Yeah imagine having to sit through this with nothing but what's on Freeview TV. Poor souls

  • 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 !

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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • LMac1970 Mr Lawrence 😷 (@LMac1970) reported

    @KellyQuilt If really battening down, consider ditching any streaming or satellite commitments (FreeSat is good if you have a dish, FreeView if not). Moving to an electric car (or if unfeasible a certain vintage of Citroen C1, Toyota Aygo or Peugeot 106) will save you on fuel and road tax.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    DAY 50 OF NO FREEVIEW Never on radio or TV nor with social media users such nonsense over loosing Facebook & pals. How one earth did people cope not sharing an image of what they're eating for dinner or a selfie standing infront of a mirror The horror

  • AdorabullyBadge SGT BadgEner #TeamBadger (@AdorabullyBadge) reported

    @tweetypie54 🙄 nae gud at all oot telly ain't tae bad even thou only got councilview aka Freeview

  • jaymirro Jay (@jaymirro) reported

  • sweeterEm Tweeter💙#NHS - Hates #Injustice 🐝#EU 🇪🇺🇬🇧💫 (@sweeterEm) reported

    @HumaxUK HUMAX FVP-5000T Freeview Play Smart Digital TV Recorder - 2 TB just bought one of these but very hit and miss recording is this normal? I've had a humax sat for years no probs need help or will return it

  • Unt_Lion Michael Fuller (@Unt_Lion) reported

    @sparkyfireman @channel5_tv I don't think they'll be able to for now, since they are at a backup centre. On Sep 26th, there was an incident at the transmission centre for Channel 4 and Channel 5. And that has been showing up for those on Freeview and Virgin.

  • KeithCP2 Keith Pates (@KeithCP2) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi I wonder if you could explain why 1 Freeview TV is working on one side of my room, But Another Freeview TV is not working on the other side, I am having to use Virgin on HDMI on that TV is that due to the faults your end? Thanks Keith

  • brian_damage brian_damage (@brian_damage) reported

    @a516digital Will this incident have resulted in lower Freeview signal strength? (Getting almost no signal from Wenvoe)

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    What start to the day, just had TV Licensing officer AGAIN at the door. I've obviously cancelled my dd for the licence as WE HAVE NO FREEVIEW SIGNAL in Teesside haven't had it for 60+ days now, so why would I pay for a service I don't receive, I don't download 1/n

  • FreeviewTV Freeview (@FreeviewTV) reported
