  • johnworthy27 john worthington (@johnworthy27) reported from Preston, England

    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • LRackstraw Luke Rackstraw (@LRackstraw) reported

    @williambecket @NadineDorries The cheapest Sky package I can find is £26 (which includes the "tax"-payer funded freeview service). Letting the BBC go commercial would mean that pensioners would save £13 a month but they wouldn't get any TV for that. So in effect you'd be doubling the cost for pensioners!

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @brownboots23 @stevehemsley @NadineDorries So how do we provide such things as disability programming, Welsh language broadcasting, maintain the Freeview transmitter network (used largely by the elderly and poor) and provide educational resources? These don’t generate profit. Ready when you are.

  • justine_j Justine J (@justine_j) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice We suddenly lost our Freeview channels, we've tried rescanning but can only get 30ish channels. Can you help?

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @williambecket @NadineDorries So you’ll be happy for these pensioners to pay a separate broadcasting tax to maintain the Freeview transmitter network? That’s MILLIONS each year. None of the programming they recognise of course.

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries There's plenty of companies out there. I see ads on some channels that aren't shown on ITV or Channel 4 or 5. Personally I'm for a hybrid model; ads on a skeleton Freeview service, with option of a paid sub on iPlayer for Premium and ad-free catch-up content.

  • DanielNvB84 Daniel Nicholson (@DanielNvB84) reported

    @RmnMark @MartinSLewis Yes, Freeview on a Smart TV. Thought I'd miss being able to pause, rewind and record, but with catch-up and smart apps you just don't need it. Pay for Netflix for films etc but can obviously cancel that whenever I like.

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    I only deal with news about Freeview and Virgin Media UK. (And the soon to launch Virgin Media IPTV Network).

  • DeusFoxy Post Brexit Foxy 🦊 (@DeusFoxy) reported

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries Because they'd still be state-owned and under a PSB. And those niche audiences will still get the ad-funded skeleton Freeview service, and ad-funded catch-up on iPlayer.

  • steviexdavis stevied (@steviexdavis) reported

    @GBNEWS Needs to be. It's a disgrace we pay a licence fee not to watch the BBC but to watch all the other Freeview Channels. I never watch the BBC, so cancelled licence, now I Can't watch all the other channels.

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries Freeview? That's for poor people who don't have Netflix or Sky!!
