Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Hounslow and nearby locations:

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • budgie Lee 'Budgie' Barnett (@budgie) reported from Richmond, England

    @DrRacheal @FreeviewTV When I had problems with Freeview, I found their helpline - when I eventually managed to get through to someone - very helpful. Took me step-by-step through the stuff I could check and solved it for me.

  • 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

  • Beige29 DarkBeige (@Beige29) reported from Merton, England

    Now I have the truly truly shit @EE freeview package (literally the worst selection of channels on earth but boy is it cheap broadband) I only watch the main 5 channels or SVOD. W, Dave, ITV2 etc are dead to me

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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😡

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • 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!

  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

  • d4nnytye danny (@d4nnytye) reported

    its not one size fits all but i grew up with only terrestrial/freeview and most the shows had strong moral messaging (even if it was subdued) about how to treat others, respecting differences etc, whereas USian stuff was a lot more based around consumption and celeb culture

  • princessmel_87 𝕄 𝔼 𝕃 👑 (@princessmel_87) reported

    Wish they never removed @kiss & #Kisstory off Freeview TV. As much as I like @CapitalOfficial they literally play the same songs every hour of every single day. I miss the KISS vibes

  • BarbaraBone3 Barbara Bone (@BarbaraBone3) reported

    @JamiePa79580833 @juneslater17 Oh that's why my broadband is crap - better get rid of the cat if her chip's interfering with the signal. Is that why sometimes I can get Freeview & other times it tells me ITV, Channel 4... don't exist?

  • LBCbackOnDAB LBCbackOnDAB (@LBCbackOnDAB) reported

    @rockgod1970 @GBNEWS Yes same on freeview all evening. Out of synch issues often seems to happen. Surprised how few people seem to raise the issue on here.

  • ShoyebJeeva Shoyeb Jeeva (@ShoyebJeeva) reported

    Is there anyone out there in London experiencing issues with their dtv signal while trying to watch #freeview channels especially @BBCOne has moved over to channel 800 on my tv.

  • nicksflo_xo Nikki 👩‍🔧❤ (@nicksflo_xo) reported

    Glad the game ain't on freeview. 3-0 down already in 30 minutes ! Awful #rangersfc

  • KtodayU83406 theUKtoday (@KtodayU83406) reported

    If you only have Freeview you'll notice that they're just putting **** old films anything up to 70 or 80 years old on Freeview channels now because I guess pay sites bought Freeview channels and put old crap to encourage people to join there pay sites

  • secondontheleft Ross (@secondontheleft) reported

    @TVmusicNews Away for the weekend and I'm here, remote control.. no music channels. How are people gonna promote stuff on Freeview! Hotel viewers need tunes! So we had radio 2 on, wasn't so bad.

  • birch_js Jamie Birch (@birch_js) reported

    @yagiznizipli I’d say look for what features it says it supports. In the UK, I’d be looking for: - Freeview Play certification, for hybrid broadcast + broadband - DIAL support, for casting YouTube videos from phone - Some good (possibly native) branded apps included - Responsive UI - No ads

  • TotallyBeans AVS1972 (@TotallyBeans) reported

    @364690 Did this last month and my God did they try it on. Now only have Essentials on cancel anytime/no contract and that's only because we have no tv aerial for freeview. Also bought firesticks so even the Sky Essentials will be binned off once got used to using apps on firestick!
