    @Sharon43068108 Very annoying! They are now showing the same match on BBC 1 AND 2. We are in a hotel room son only have Freeview. Going to watch Bridget Jones Diary on itv2 - I have my fingers crossed it's not too rude for the kids 🤣 (from what I remember, I think it's ok)

    @Philips @philips_uk @FreeviewTV @PhilipsCare I recently purchased a Philips Ambilight 55PUS8204/12 55" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV with Google Assistant does it support Freeview play as I can't get the apps to work.

    @AmazonHelp I bought a Freeview PVR on my new Argos but have since decided I don't want it. It's still ready for collection at the Huddersfield store. What can I do to cancel this and have my card refunded

    @Emmalouisajones @SkyNews Poor retro-protest. You can't cancel Sky News. It's on Freeview.

  • terrymccrum Terry McCrum (@terrymccrum) reported

    @SkyUK It is 💩. Picture isn’t that good. Has loads less channels than Sky Q. Cannot record. Streams stuff on the usual platforms. No Freeview unless the wifi drops. It is awful.

  • bazzacollins Barry Collins (@bazzacollins) reported

    Lots of people in the south reporting Freeview reception issues this evening

  • BondDeal S Andrews (@BondDeal) reported

    @FreeviewTV Are you seriously going to ignore that Freeview is down across the entire UK and has been for hours? All channels are gone.

  • Juju72028287 Juju (@Juju72028287) reported

    @FreeviewTV Would love to watch, but Freeview seems to be down - surely you're not ignoring the fact that the service has been bad all week and has completely given up today. Or am I just imagining a no signal message on every channel?

  • HamlettGordon Gordon Hamlett (@HamlettGordon) reported

    @TMitC @WeedonsWorld Can't get any TV programmes at all due to Freeview outage in Norfolk. Doesn't appear to be on iPlayer either. Only regular series.

  • foxyermen765 Sally fox (@foxyermen765) reported

    @FreeviewTV Can’t watch die to freeview being down NN6

  • hunnybird40 Jo A (@hunnybird40) reported

    @FreeviewTV So Freeview is down apparently has been since lunchtime today. Any idea of when it is actually going to be back up working???

  • pauldalrymple Paul Dalrymple 💙 (@pauldalrymple) reported

    @aboveeg By ghosting you mean that shadowy effect there used to be on the old analogue signals years ago? Digital signal seems different ... just breaks up / buffers/ whatever they call it. Its so bad this evening have nothing watchable. We're not on Sky, just Freeview: nothing working.

  • MatthewHarrold Matthew Harrold (@MatthewHarrold) reported

    @JamieLaundon This one is a pirate yeah, but given the strength it's probably in London somewhere. There's been some interesting propagation for the last week, European radio stations popping up and lots of complaints about Freeview not working.

  • UKtodayUK the Real Mike 🎄🧊🎄 (@UKtodayUK) reported

    What are strange electrical day I kept getting bleed from other radio channels on heart FM today but now the channel to the left or right it was what I was hearing. I got home and I'm getting no signal on Freeview either
