    @virginmedia all my channels including freeview ones are giving the message 'channel not authorised' this morning, I've rebooted and still the same, any help please??

  • Quoton Brian Campbell (@Quoton) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @Johnson66892442 @Nick_Metcalfe One thing which may help is that you can go to red button by choosing channel 981 on Sky or 301 on freeview, if you want to avoid iplayer👍

  • KTCCLawson Miss Leading Herself, Katy Lawson (@KTCCLawson) reported from Renfrew, Scotland

    TikTok's latest trend is based on Adult Swim and the channel titles or whatever and... I grew up with Freeview television. I have no idea what's going on. I'm so lost. This is nearly as bad as when I tried to watch Phineas & Ferb with people and had no idea what was happening.

    @HotsnaxMihole @BreedersCup Us poor folk only have Freeview.

  • verflucht Mr A$AP Verflucht Esq. (@verflucht) reported from Paisley, Scotland

    @SuperRetroid @jonesthescribe @MrTom Fair point. :) And in fairness, I have never had to use an internal Freeview in a telly in over 14 years. I always thought they'd use the aerial, not the leftover debris from Sky.

  • TravellingScot4 TravellingScotsman (@TravellingScot4) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @nowtvhelp It’s ok they’ll tell to do the exact same things I’ve done already. It’s working now but for how long. And your live chat very rarely works. Or there’s a long wait to speak to someone. When the passes are finished I’ll just cancel and stick to freeview amazon prime and Netflix

  • fitzscrounger Benny Fitzscrounger (@fitzscrounger) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @MrMalky Get tae **** !! Freeview is a wash with their content and the reason why people stump.up for NetFlix. I give it a year not personally I can't tell you the last thing I watched on ITV and BBC can **** right off !

  • ben_k_99 Ben (@ben_k_99) reported from Thornliebank, Scotland

    @figuremonkey Yeah imagine having to sit through this with nothing but what's on Freeview TV. Poor souls

  • shambo1ic shambolic (@shambo1ic) reported from Bowling, Scotland

    @kentindell Tbh every time I turn on my LG it asks if I want to programme channels. I have no antenna connected. I use it for streaming and Sky so never needed freeview etc. not so smart smart Tv

  • Andysimpson74 Andrew Simpson (@Andysimpson74) reported from Alexandria, Scotland

    Anyone having problems at the minute with Freeview? The last couple of days I haven’t had any tv, it just says check your aerial antenna.

  • LazyHermit 🌪 (@LazyHermit) reported from Clydebank, Scotland

    @virginmedia Been a Virgin customer for years. Cancelled Tv but have broadband and phone. Even my Freeview channels have been blocked on my boxes!! How churlish can a company get??😳 Freeview channels?! Show some compassion to your customers

  • _Ninji Ninji 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇮 B L M / 1312 (@_Ninji) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @ali_king Now I feel like I should check the 365 Travel channel on Freeview again to see if they’re still advertising cruises that never happened

    @TheCriticalDri2 people like him are like freeview ...garbage you watch when you just cant be ****** to make any effort

  • dancardwell Dan Cardwell (@dancardwell) reported

    @virginmedia @annmarienoble23 @annmarie Virgin Media, the problem is that subtitles work on adverts but not on the programmes. Been like this all week. Problem is at channel 5's end as it occurs on Freeview too!

  • jaco45er Jaco45er (@jaco45er) reported

    @dougmcfarlane41 @NickyAACampbell @bbc5live There was something on the radio the other day about claiming money from companies who don’t provide paid internet services after so many days. I guess freeview wouldn’t be included. What is the actual problem, have they said?

  • bbcbristolsport BBC Bristol sport (@bbcbristolsport) reported

    🚨 LATEST: Millwall 1-0 City Benik Afobe is brought down in the box by Rob Atkinson, and Jed Wallace scores from the penalty spot after 61 minutes. 📻 @bbcrb 94.9FM, 104.6FM, DAB; @bbcsomerset 95.5FM 📺 Freeview 719 & 722

  • Indigo_Assoc Indigo Associates (@Indigo_Assoc) reported

    @Film4, @RedBeeMedia @E4Tweets further to my last tweet re there being no audio still on Film4 Freeview LCN14 from Waltham. Note that the DVBT2 based service for Film4+1 (LCN46) on a different mux is absolutely fine with both audio and video signals present

  • planet_leesti Words of Planet Leesti (@planet_leesti) reported

    @Traceyspacey1 Odd. Tho. In the olde days when I had Freeview in the house, a) the Freeview folks were surprised I could get it at all for where i was, but b) we picked up a transmitter near Scunthorpe. I never got local radio at all, it was always Yorkshire based. So definitely consistent!

    @brinsmith1957 @FreeviewTV Hi Bryan, Apologies for the delay in response. Sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. Please DM Freeview Advice with your postcode, house name/number and we will look into this further for you. Melissa

  • PhlipGodfrey Philip Godfrey (@PhlipGodfrey) reported

    @johnzharper00 @E4Tweets I would have thought that as well but it's something to do with the way Freeview is routed around the Freeview network, we don't have E4 where I live so losing E4+1 is really disappointing.

  • lgladdy Liam (@lgladdy) reported

    @willsandry I’m watching on actual TV/Freeview. They’re still not right after the Red Bee fire/oxygen suppression system issues over the weekend. I think they must be broadcasting on backup systems.

  • differ_dare Dare Differ (@differ_dare) reported

    @Limping_Chicken Too many Freeview channels without any or nominal amount of subtitles after all these years. Horror does none, yet most horror is dark for scare effect, folk whisper... Worse kind of set up to try and make out what happening. Access to service - subtitles should be mandatory now.
