    @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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • djjohnyg Dj johny Garcia (@djjohnyg) reported from Richmond, England

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • JEFFREY03296741 JEFFREY PHILLIPS (@JEFFREY03296741) reported from Brentford, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • maggieinlondon Maggie - wear a mask 💙🏳️‍🌈🌱 (@maggieinlondon) reported from Wandsworth, England

    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

  • daguvernor tommy harper (@daguvernor) reported from Wandsworth, England

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MT_Kilpatrick Michael Kilpatrick (@MT_Kilpatrick) reported

    Old Panasonic Freeview PVR no good for new ITV player and it had fault:, watch catch-up progs and it would occasionally freeze for 0.5secs. Bought a new Manhattan and it's just as crap - goes slow-mo for 2secs at random times. Why is everything such junk? @FreeviewTV

  • m_laverick Michelle Laverick Music 🤖 (@m_laverick) reported

    @tjz1100 @AppleTV @FreeviewTV I should scrapped my old setup (plasma + Humax freeview) and bought a smart telly. Instead like an idiot I bought a cheap Manhattan set top & an AppleTV. At least AppleTV was gift…

  • grundyonasunda1 Julie Grundy (@grundyonasunda1) reported

    @SonyUK Hi I have a SONY RDR HXD995 Freeview 250GB HDD DVD Recorder but it's stopped working. Can you help please?

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    Is it me or is the sound quality on @BBCTwo US Elections programme rather poor? Watching on BBC Two HD on Freeview. And I don't mean one of the contributors not having a microphone.

  • MarkjMorelli Markj Morelli (@MarkjMorelli) reported

    @greatesthitsuk Never too early.....especially when there's a channel on freeview playing nonstop Christmas movies 🎅🎅

  • dannyboy7796 Daniel Jones (@dannyboy7796) reported

    @Wolf30331 @ItCorbyn @darrengrimes_ OK, so they're truly as bad as I've heard? Wow, I genuinely thought that would be against the rules on freeview broadcast media. Remember they banned RT, although that was down to sanctions to be fair. Good to know I was right to avoid them.

  • blogmywiki Giles Booth (@blogmywiki) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Hi there - your channel seems to have vanished from my TV. Freeview, London area, strong line-of-site signal from Crystal Palace transmitter. It was there before. Retuning didn't work. Any ideas?

  • AlokAchary1 Kiran (@AlokAchary1) reported

    There's going to have to be extra support' Alex Chalk MP says Tory leadership candidate Rishi Sunak believes inflation must be tackled to help those struggling with the cost of living crisis 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @blogmywiki We are broadcasting loud and clear, Giles. We haven't moved. Have you tried retuning your box? If you still have problems you will need to speak to Freeview, there is a helpline: Freeview advice line on 03456 505050

  • Kimmieprice19 K I M B E R L Y 🇺🇦💙💛🌻 She/Her (@Kimmieprice19) reported

    @Farmer_Mooo @Depheruk I don’t have a house phone, seeing as I’m hardly home I felt it an unnecessary bill, seeing as freeview channels are awful for children’s programs, forgive me for having Netflix and Disney+ (which is a lot cheaper than sky or virgin May I add!) what a small minded opinion u have!
