  • fishinthedark1 fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

  • EranE1980 Eran Edry (@EranE1980) reported from Camden Town, England

    @FreeviewAdvice hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • niklasRen Nik Rahmel (@niklasRen) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @Stephen_Neal Good shout! If we just take the Freeview/Freesat ones, we get to ten, excluding the National ones: 1) BBC One 2) BBC Two 3) BBC Four 4) CBBC 5) CBeebies 6) BBC News 7) BBC Parliament 8) Dave 9) Drama 10) Yesterday But they aren’t licence fee funded, so don’t help the argument.

  • Tommy_M_E_J Tom Jordan (@Tommy_M_E_J) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @njvns That’s so shit. It’s literally called freeview and yet it’s not free

  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

  • Scare158Steve Scarebear (@Scare158Steve) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @bt_uk Thanks for the help. I spoke to freeview, tried a few things which didn't work but i contacted your TV help and after doing a few basic things somehow it appears to be working now! Very Strange. Tks

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

  • MartinC93414706 Martin (@MartinC93414706) reported from Lambeth, England

    @channel5_tv is the worst for catch up tv via your app or freeview. Just can’t find programmes sometimes. Trying to find Sally Lindsays posh sleepover. C4, itv and BBC never ever have a problem with. I give up with C5

  • vjlorenzato Victoria Lorenzato (@vjlorenzato) reported from Brentford, England

    Catholic Twitter UK- help please! Anyone know of a Mass being broadcast on TV tomorrow ( not via internet) Lovely elderly lady has Freeview but no internet.... TIA!

  • daguvernor tommy harper (@daguvernor) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia once again trying to contact virgin media is a no go a proper waste of time contract has run out trying to cancel they have put the money up to £60 a month for basically 2 freeview boxes I have cancelled my direct debit which is due on the 7 april what a scam😡

  • JensFallesen Jens Fallesen (@JensFallesen) reported from Hounslow, England

    @leksi_p Correct. If you do not have Freeview, Sky or Virgin (or any other cable service), you should not need to pay if you never watch it.

  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • maggieinlondon Maggie - wear a mask 💙🏳️‍🌈🌱 (@maggieinlondon) reported from Wandsworth, England

    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

  • RegenerateAndy Andy Smith (@RegenerateAndy) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Channel ‘Pick’ on freeview. Never heard of it before but grateful for it tonight #chelsea

  • omotforest david sinfield #pssc (@omotforest) reported from West Molesey, England

    To be honest, when you've removed the dependency of other real time tv, i cant see many people chipping in. Many will be paying just to watch their subscription service or Freeview.

  • AStrangerJ A.j. Stranger #UTAG (@AStrangerJ) reported from Bromley, England

    On the Freeview “REALLY” channel at 9pm, “Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?”. I’ve never seen it before, but I bet the answers not Jeffrey Epstein.

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported from Camberwell, England

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on Freeview.

  • nessymon Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England

    @MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, England

    @MyHydeHome @SCCIAlphatrack Not even sure how that's possible there's no record anyways over the weekend we lost signal for the communal aerial it has become very weak very pixelated can pick up the Freeview HD channels

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • JohnLoony John Cartwright (@JohnLoony) reported

    Great Movies Action channel (Freeview 42). “The Apocalypse” A disaster movie that is so apocalyptically bad that it hasn’t got enough budget for cgi of devastation. Just gormless characters watching TV news, or watching the devastation (neither of which is visible to the viewer).

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @scott_gamer @russty_russ I'm guessing they would have sold generic DTT boxes for free-to-air digital TV. Top-Up TV used to be on Freeview. Unusually the ntl:digital text service still ran and provided listings for ITV Digital channels long after Freeview had replaced it.

  • MagicSky_UK Nick Francis (@MagicSky_UK) reported

    @BBCNews wonderful new Webb telescope images, yet we now have to watch on Freeview in standard definition as no HD signal 🤷.

  • ReubenHerbert1 Reuben Herbert (@ReubenHerbert1) reported

    @thefulltoss @hainba67 Participation numbers in all sports are in decline regardless of whether its on freeview tv. The downward trend has been since the late 1980s. My research shows its more likely down to the fact sport is not played in state schools rather than tv.

  • lucyhackettxoxo Lucy🖤 (@lucyhackettxoxo) reported

    @lauranhibberd Babes I have a **** freeview telly I can’t watch

  • scovelljohn John Scovell (@scovelljohn) reported

    @ClearAsChloe I've never seen it as I only have Freeview TV. I know there are lots of references to Stephen King including the title. Still, one day I will get to see it!!

  • RogSat RogSat 🏁🐓🦖 (@RogSat) reported

    BBC News HD being taken of Freeview is a major loss. Poor show, @BBC.

  • recovringlawyer Matt (@recovringlawyer) reported

    @newhandlehun @CahairOKane1 Many of us can’t access it on our TVs (I don’t have Sky and my Freeview doesn’t pick up RTÉ) and not every VPN service allows us to get around the GAA’s geoblocking.

  • Cosmic_Carbon_ Cosmic🪐 | Splatoon era again (@Cosmic_Carbon_) reported

    @MAGNETIC_DOGZ Basically you needed a paid service with certain companies to even get Nickelodeon, CN, ect on the TV. I grew up on the freeview channels, pop, cbbc, citv, all that.

  • chimaira1967 mak (@chimaira1967) reported

    @NOW absolute thieves I pay for your service monthly and now your bombarding us with adverts as well, I can watch all the ads I want on freeview, drop the ads. I’d u want to run ads offer a lower price subscription, don’t implement it on everyone and ask for another £5
