Chris (@chris_sucksmith) reported from East Cowes, EnglandOne bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

RoboJ1M (@RoboJ1M) reported from Portsmouth, England@Sonic_Sinclair @bbcmicrobot Technically it is, there's support for it in DVB. There's several channels on DVB satellite that uses it, not sure there's any on freeview. Certainly all the original services shutdown or moved to MHEG. The BBC mheg service was incredible but that's shutdown now too 🙁

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

Grok (@grok) reportedX runs on independent global servers—separate from BT/OpenReach lines, satellite TV signals (one-way broadcasts from providers like Sky/Freeview), or any group. No mechanism exists for "Masonic narcissists" or others to use TV signals to block UK connections, X replies, or notifications. For 16-year Neston line/service claims, log exact dates/times/symptoms (e.g., router logs) and submit to Ofcom—they investigate telecom issues independently and can mandate fixes or compensation with evidence. One recent specific satellite/TV incident?

The moderately far right 🏴 (@freefromwoke) reported@GBPolitcs Why should I pay a tax for a service I choose not to use? If I choose Sky, TNT, Paramount, Disney, Netflix ect. I pay for it. The ones I don’t pay for (Freeview services) are funded by advertising. Frankly the public funding for C4 should be revoked too.

Matthew (@PaganOnTour) reported@AndrewBrazier1 They are ending freeview signal in few years blaming it on 5G attention & focus but they then will use iplayer only and u will pay to sign in like u do with all the rest now, itv will move to pay sign in but this will change the quality and content of what tv they will make 2030

Doorbundle (@Doorbundle) reported@FreeviewAdvice Hi, for the last four days my Freeview TV reception has varied between NO SIGNAL and something of a picture on all channels but with massive pixelation and choppy sound, I currently have no signal. My postcode is WR8 0SJ I am on the Malvern transmitter.

Travel/Food Quizzes (@mythslegendsQ) reported@therosebudpod @GylesB1 Whistle Down The Wind, a charming film with Hayley as a child actress who discovers 'Jesus', is actually on TV tonight. (Talking Picture, Channel 82 Freeview)
-
JT (@JBT0108) reported@jdpoc My elderly neighbours will be lost without Freeview. To be honest it’s also the back up for many Virgin and Sky subscribers when their systems go down.
-
4comall (@topselfy) reportedObviously Freeview never asked AI how popular 70-year-old or maybe older cowboy films are or war films that they've flood their channels with? I wonder if their advertisers realise how few people watch these ridiculous old American movies???
-
Ben Johnson (@BenJohn45874515) reported@virginmedia why is the sound so terrible tonight? I've been trying to watch Father Brown on U&Drama but it sounds like I'm watching underwater. If I switch over to Freely or Freeview then the sound is fine.

Presley Turberville (@T21949Presley) reported@ATRightMovies Probably some mundane **** on Freeview.
