    @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 !

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • _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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Quoton Brian Campbell (@Quoton) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @Johnson66892442 @Nick_Metcalfe One thing which may help is that you can go to red button by choosing channel 981 on Sky or 301 on freeview, if you want to avoid iplayer👍

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SydneyCityTV SydneyCityTV (@SydneyCityTV) reported

    @whophd @meadea @domknight From what I've read, onDigital/ITV Digital was plagued with reception and piracy issues however overbidding for TV rights to a lower division football league was their biggest downfall. Although in a way, the failure of it + the later rise of Freeview was probably a good thing.

  • bastardly_dick here i am...stuck 'inbetweener' with you... (@bastardly_dick) reported

    Thanks @ITV not one tv or freeview box in our house can get @ITVX..and if you think I'm buying new stuff to receive it..you can **** right off..you're getting as **** as the BBC anyway.🖕

  • JHorb1 John Horb 💙🇺🇦 (@JHorb1) reported

    @ITVXhelp @Loochst3r Apparently, due to last minute technical issues, could be a few weeks before ITVX is available on some Freeview boxes, eg Manhattan.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

  • magicfauvrelle David Fauvrelle (@magicfauvrelle) reported

    @virginmedia Going out now to buy a freeview box now to cover the service @virginmedia should be providing me. 😡

  • Christi34653250 Christine Scott (@Christi34653250) reported from Longbenton, England

    @ITVX I wish I could or that Freeview took on this network a lot of us on pensions can't afford satalite or cable

  • philrandal Phil Randal (@philrandal) reported from Herefordshire, England

    Not at all surprised to find that @itvx is a pile of rubbish. Not integrated into Freeview Play's TV guide, no Channel list in the app's UI, so using it for catch up is a pain in the neck. Didn't they do any usability tests? Unbelievably bad. That's if it loads... #itvx

  • HobbitsWife Hobbits Wife 💙 (hobbitswife@fosstodon.org) (@HobbitsWife) reported

    Oh good so no @ITVX on @FreeviewTV then? #ItvHin refuses to load. Seems an odd decision not to support freeview!

  • kateflett Kathryn Flett (@kateflett) reported

    SO HAPPY that on my tv ITV Freeview is currently in a pixellated meltdown and the telly won’t support live tv on the ITVX app… 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇫🇷@ITV @ITVX 🤯

  • FatherPeter11 Bacon Dog 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@FatherPeter11) reported

    @alighirl77 Unrelated to Sky but my Talk Talk Tv box for freeview stopped working 2 months ago. I’ve tried to call them numerous times to report the problem while I’m still paying for the service. Talk Talk? You cant talk to them. 😳
