    People who have Freeview - is it just a one off cost for the box or subscription and can you record stuff? (Am trying to figure out tv options and can't get virgin and sky i think you need a dish. Aerial is crap here)

    @GBNEWS I am subscribed to GB News on YouTube but can’t seem to get it live. Freeview 236 has no watchable signal this morning. Please can anyone advise?

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MuxCoDAB MuxCo (@MuxCoDAB) reported

    Due to a fire at the Bilsdale transmitter, our local North Yorkshire DAB multiplex will have reduced coverage. The incident has affected all services from the transmitter including Freeview, local FM and national/local DAB.

  • J_P_Quin James Quin (@J_P_Quin) reported

    Well ****. The Bilsdale TV transmitter that serves the North Yorkshire region is currently on fire. So that means no Freeview telly until the problem is sorted out.

  • lewgall Lewgall (@lewgall) reported

    Wish Premier Sports would get tae ****. How can he have Sky, BT, prime and freeview channels but still no see a game.

  • stuart1963 Stuart Crawford (@stuart1963) reported

    @BBC i wanted to 4hank you for letting me see how channels there are on freeview. as i didn't have to watch idiot football pundits try to commentate on the Olympic gamed. i only saw a bit of the opening ceremony.

  • teweybear Sharon Tew (@teweybear) reported

    @bt_uk No issues with Freeview at all (ie watching through the TV using the external aerial and built in Freeview). As soon as we switch to BT box, picture pixelates. Does this answer your Q’s?!

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @ukdtt Remember CBM? The Freeview channel that had a caption 'Coming soon to Channel 22', but never launched.

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @StuartRidley8 @GaryLineker TV licence pays for the upkeep of the Freeview transmitter network. Freeview is the way the majority of the elderly watch TV. They’re getting a very good deal. And they don’t pay if they’re receiving pension credits.

  • AllanLear6 Allan Lear (@AllanLear6) reported

    @Dean0076103703 @GaryLineker Already told you. Your licence fee pays for little old ladies to get free radio. It also pays to maintain the freeview network which lots of advert-using channels piggyback on.

  • mpollo11 M Pol (@mpollo11) reported

    @rjohnsykes @GBNEWS I was able to receive in BT53 to begin, but now nothing on Channel 236....defaults to Sky 233. Freeview told me defo being broadcast on likely NI transmitters. Didnt offer solution though

  • GrahamWatts15 Northern Lad 💙 (@GrahamWatts15) reported

    @tompeck I'd sooner pay the licence fee than the rip off subscriptions of both Virgin and Sky It's amazing how a huge % of the defund the BBC brigade have no problem subscribing to TV and Broadband packages that charge you to send down freeview channels and charge you a phone line rental
