    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • vjlorenzato Victoria Lorenzato (@vjlorenzato) reported from Brentford, England

    Catholic Twitter UK- help please! Anyone know of a Mass being broadcast on TV tomorrow ( not via internet) Lovely elderly lady has Freeview but no internet.... TIA!

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported from Camberwell, England

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on Freeview.

  • RegenerateAndy Andy Smith (@RegenerateAndy) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Channel ‘Pick’ on freeview. Never heard of it before but grateful for it tonight #chelsea

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, England

    @MyHydeHome @SCCIAlphatrack Not even sure how that's possible there's no record anyways over the weekend we lost signal for the communal aerial it has become very weak very pixelated can pick up the Freeview HD channels

  • AStrangerJ A.j. Stranger #UTAG (@AStrangerJ) reported from Bromley, England

    On the Freeview “REALLY” channel at 9pm, “Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?”. I’ve never seen it before, but I bet the answers not Jeffrey Epstein.

  • flowergirl_lon Sam (Flower Girl) Jennings (@flowergirl_lon) reported from Croydon, England

    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

  • JensFallesen Jens Fallesen (@JensFallesen) reported from Hounslow, England

    @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.

  • 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?

  • MartinC93414706 Martin (@MartinC93414706) reported from Lambeth, England

    @channel5_tv is the worst for catch up tv via your app or freeview. Just can’t find programmes sometimes. Trying to find Sally Lindsays posh sleepover. C4, itv and BBC never ever have a problem with. I give up with C5

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SteveWardle Stephen Wardle (@SteveWardle) reported

    @GBNEWS Slowly getting better. Keep it up. Please consider an HD version for Freeview, as the picture is still poor. Also lose the black backgrounds and remove/cover up the people moving around in the background. Early days though 👍🏻

  • CllrGareth CllrGareth (@CllrGareth) reported

    @GBNEWS A few other things… your YouTube doesn’t have a live feed. The IOS app forces horizontal rotation. Freeview is in a pretty poor SD. There’s no smart tv apps. Eg roku/tizen/webos.

  • ShutMinds Chris Cross (@ShutMinds) reported

    @GBNEWS @afneil 24 hours is enough to get some of the tech issues fixed. Sound is still around 10dB lower than all other channels on Freeview. Why are people repeatedly not miked up properly? It isn't amateur hour - many are wishing you well but their patience is being tested.

  • Fatjon27803327 TheFatjon (@Fatjon27803327) reported

    @GBNEWS Give us a fireTV app. The Freeview app doesn't work even if you have the knowhow to sideload it so unless you pay for Sky or watch on a phone you can't easily watch at all. I'm too old to squint at a phone for hours.

  • DJMidarezaki DJ Midarezaki, Esq. 🇬🇧🇭🇰➡️ #LivesMatter (@DJMidarezaki) reported

    @IvorIdea @cheesedoff3 @GBNEWS The web feed in 1080p looks pretty decent, don't forget that many commercial slots on Freeview are the reduced resolution 544x576 stretched to 16x9 ratio so looks a bit blurry and washed out.

  • rebekkarnold Rebekka 🦋 (@rebekkarnold) reported

    Can somebody please tell me the best USB thing that I can get that will play freeview tv like ITV/BBC to plug into my tv, because ITV hub is ****.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @SuperDerby88 Hi Joe, Sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. Let us help. Please DM your Postcode, House Name/Number and we will look into this further for you. Kind Regards Melissa

  • sean_antrim Sean Antrim (@sean_antrim) reported

    Has anyone noticed that half the channels on #Freeview are garbage?

  • liberaliskubrix S.D. Wickett (@liberaliskubrix) reported

    It's so bland and sanitised too. If you want to see 'Rightist extremism', you sure as **** won't get it on freeview television..

  • TkoCymon Cymon Humphries (@TkoCymon) reported

    @Winiman3 @GBNEWS Well that’s is never going to happen as only a few HD freeview slots which the 4 public service broadcasters all have
