  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

    @HotsnaxMihole @BreedersCup Us poor folk only have Freeview.

  • 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

    @FreeviewTV Would love to watch, but Freeview seems to be down - surely you're not ignoring the fact that the service has been bad all week and has completely given up today. Or am I just imagining a no signal message on every channel?

  • Philipbutcher1 Philip butcher (@Philipbutcher1) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice When Digital Freeview TV first came about for the first few years it was nowhere near as bad as this only the odd day here or the with no picture or bad picture but these days it’s more regular atleast 2 times per month.

  • pauldalrymple Paul Dalrymple 💙 (@pauldalrymple) reported

    @aboveeg By ghosting you mean that shadowy effect there used to be on the old analogue signals years ago? Digital signal seems different ... just breaks up / buffers/ whatever they call it. Its so bad this evening have nothing watchable. We're not on Sky, just Freeview: nothing working.

  • SimonPGiles Simon Giles. (@SimonPGiles) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice is freeview down? Started with all HD channels not working and now all channels, both TVs have the same. Apps work though

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @norfolkmummy3 @GrainPirateDan Hi, I am so sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. High pressure has been present for a few days and hopefully will move on soon. If you have retuned, please do this again once the weather changes. If you require further advice please DM.

  • broncoskolar Pasteur Eyes #UTA 🟥🟨 (@broncoskolar) reported

    Hey #FreeviewTV signal poor in Poplar. Freeview unwatchable on aerial.

  • tashatam14 tashatam (@tashatam14) reported

    @ConsPost @DrSpock_PhD Meanwhile those of us living in older (and new) rural properties have broadband little faster than dial-up and no prospect of anything better as Openreach are too busy servicing newbuild estates. See also poor water pressure, many power cuts, lack of mobile signal, no freeview

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @Stephen47763256 @bachelorettem There is a Freeview helpline if problems persist Stephen. 03456 505050

  • scott_eff Scott Macdonald 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇵🇸🇨🇺 (@scott_eff) reported

    @jodimullen I suppose it would be a frankly huge pain in the *** to replace all those ordinary Freeview boxes/in-builds to re-standardise new codecs and data delivery to increase resolution/quality. MPEG-2 really is showing its age on some of these data-starved channels.

    @JacquieSamateh Hi, I am so very sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. High pressure has been present for a few days and hopefully will move on soon. If you have retuned, you will have to retune again once the weather changes. Thank you, Melissa
