  • 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

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

    @loudouglas75 I have such shit freeview I only have itv2+1

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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😡

  • 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.

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

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

  • ProfJohnEllis John Ellis (@ProfJohnEllis) reported from Egham, England

    @MariaMichalis @All4 C4 is in talks to join Britbox... and you get surveillance on any streaming service, even ad funded. That’s how they can target the ads and tell you where your nearest car dealership is (new in All4). Only Freeview lets you keep anonymity

  • 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

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

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

    @Disco_Squirrel I’ve got the shitty EE freeview box and it’s one of the apps on there, but never used

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍

  • 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.

  • PhilipMichaelC2 Philip Michael Chapman (@PhilipMichaelC2) reported from Croydon, England

    @PanasonicUK I have Panasonic Viera TV set now the Sony Crime Channel on Freeview channel 40 has moved to channel 60 but when I click on 60 all I get is Loading Interactive Service then the screen goes blank can you help me please or send an engineer

  • 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.

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • mrledders ian leadbetter (@mrledders) reported

    @Dolly_Darren Ok. Mine did the same to me. I switched it off at the mains (along with the Freeview box), promised never to watch ITV3 again, left it for about an hour and when I switched it back on it came back to life. Sadly, not designed to last now!

  • MaffyBoon MF (@MaffyBoon) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice retuning does nothing.. no channels! Looking at the local forums many people are experiencing the same. Can you comment on actual service status in the SG11 area? Information on tuning my Freeview box is useless if there are no services...

  • chrisalfw Chris Williams (@chrisalfw) reported

    @joti261 @Nigel_Farage @GBNEWS STUPID!! GB News is not a satellite channel; it is free to air on Freeview.

  • MaggieJudge6 Maggie689 (@MaggieJudge6) reported

    @RebeccaHBM I’ve had no signal for TV since they changed to Freeview, so for approx 15 years I’ve had to pay for Sky. I don’t live in a little country village, I live in Barrow in Furness. We get our signal from IOM which is bounced off Winterhill, but not available here

  • BlakeAntcliff Blake Antcliff (@BlakeAntcliff) reported

    @BBCNews Not just villagers, occasionally try my TV and still can't get a signal (have freesat so not that much of an issue) My Dad has BT Youview box that he barely knows how to use and no Freeview channels at all.

  • quantum_quasar Henry Brian Shaw (@quantum_quasar) reported

    @DerSchwarzBaron @U_didnt_saythat Yeah think that's the problem. Because GAA sold rights to Sky, sky block it on the RTE channel. Not sure if you can watch it on Freeview or not. But this is what happens when sports do big TV deals.

  • moseleyjules Julie (@moseleyjules) reported

    @chris_hawkins @BBC6Music The Freeview app I use says you're on at 5am and 1pm. I used to work split shifts years ago but never one that tough! 😳

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital When i lived at my parents freeview was no trouble at all. And remember getting com7 and 8, when they started.

  • deanrmarsh Dean Marsh™ (@deanrmarsh) reported

    @MintRoyale Weird. I've never had in HD. Can't get it even if I retune either Part of Ch Fours agreement was it's not available in HD on Freeview... Wonder if it's a regional thing? 🤔

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    OK Day 35 with no #Freeview has just got worse. Got no @bbc5live & no BBC radio on DAB either (obviously no FM with no transmitter. #Freeview need to start answering questions to MP's this is ****, can live with no TV, radio just about but *******, this is 3rd world crap
