    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!

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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 👍

  • 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.

  • 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😡

  • 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

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

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

  • 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?

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

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

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

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • stormcab stormcab (@stormcab) reported

    @Hrawli @cowell64807 I got rid of cable/satellite TV few years back. Was ridiculous paying £30 extra a month for what you get for free with Freeview. Sky wanted to put a dish in part of the building that would look horrible. I pay £32 a month for internet & a phone line rental.

  • SimonLivesey Simon Livesey (@SimonLivesey) reported

    @GBNEWS Well I'm hoping production quality head increased since I last tried it. But the SD picture quality is unwatchably poor, do until it comes to HD on Freeview I can't watch.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @lisapughlal Hi Lisa, So sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. Let us help. Can you please DM your full postcode and house name/number and we will look into this for you. Melissa

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice We've been here a million times Freeview, don't need you to check on coverage when I can tell you I HAVEN'T GOT ANY SIGNAL ie NO COVERAGE. There is no "data protection" policy on display so don't know what nameless "bot" I'm handing over personal data so no house number TS269AS

  • Starrygem4 DianeB (@Starrygem4) reported

    @SimonLivesey @TkoCymon @GBNEWS I'm sure my gbnews on freeview 236 is HD. I can't get it very well though cos the aerial is crap 😕

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Nope nothing now in TS26 Hartlepool had just 6 channels pre the 7th nothing over weekend, 10% signal strength during day today now 0%signal at night piss poor Freeview

  • WanderingSadu Harry Mincherley (@WanderingSadu) reported

    Not had Freeview for years due to aerial issues. Daily tsunami of garbage on there.

  • NigelsRadio NigelsRadioTakeover (@NigelsRadio) reported

    @FreeviewTV Freeview is broken for me now. Had to move to freesat. Had no tv signal suddenly. Had an engineer come to install a brand new aerial and still a weak as hell useless signal. So had to give up.

  • The_LizMarshall Liz Marshall 🌈♐🦄🙋🏻‍♀️ (@The_LizMarshall) reported

    @CharlieREBH76 @4Viewers @E4Tweets That's terrible. I missed the last season too because of the weirdly bad airing of it and could never find it online to stream. Such a shame as it's an amazing series w/ nothing else like it on freeview 😔

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @CrabbyValiant @back_the_BBC That's starting to change: Anyone with a Sky Glass TV no longer needs to turn over, as the HD service is fully regionalised. Virgin Media and iPlayer users are up next for the upgrade. Sky, Freesat and Freeview due to be upgraded before the end of 2022.
