  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • timesresonant Alastair Matthews (@timesresonant) reported

    Hunting Hitler, The Truth behind the Moon Landing, Paul Hollywood repeat #194,753; and a seasonal gesture with a multiplicity of hospital dramas. The freeview lineup is crap. Actually, after 10 months of watching it on a continuous rolling loop, it is indicative.

    @akaHarriet Oh wow! So there isn’t like freeview or terrestrial TV? I’ve never had cable, but I’ve always had the basic channels. I don’t know much about the US system I guess.

  • CAGphotography Colin Anthony (@CAGphotography) reported

    @FreeviewTV I have a Philips 50pus7505 and the Freeview Play individual apps load up but I get a black screen when they play. Tried reboots, reset to defaults, everything except a Freeview reinstall Saphi won't tet me. Please help.

  • BagaChipzfan Just H (@BagaChipzfan) reported

    @Karl_Downey I have the problem that while Sky and Cable receivers get their @ITV news service in HD, @itvmeridian Thames Valley Freeview viewers only get broadcasts in SD. We get the news and weather for KENT (useless, I know) in HD and on +1. BBC is better in Oxon as we have our own version

  • monkeyboy4334 Greg (@monkeyboy4334) reported

    @3011corralejo @Pippisell There’s a problem with that. My aerial doesn’t work, so the only freeview channels I get are what comes through the internet. Plus I get Amazon Prime, Disney plus and Netflix. Ive been meaning to sort the aerial , but I get 30 channels of crap, so feel it’s enough !

    @RobsBottin80 Scarry isn't it Sadly I only have Freeview as I'm not prepared to be forced to subscribe as that's the idea Show utter and total brainless **** on a constant basis to force folk to pay for a semblance of decent Viewing But they forget about the elderly who can't afford to do it

    @BBCDanielS My 88 year old father in law with partial sight and poor hearing has just been forced to pay the BBC licence fee even though he only uses the TV to watch old movies on non BBC Freeview channels. He says " what is Netflix?"

  • retguru Retail Guru (@retguru) reported

    @virginmedia Still issues. Brand new box. Still can't watch catch up or Netflix without it constantly crashing. Even normal tv picture pixalating all the time. Never have any issues with freeview in bedroom so what's the point of having Virgin?

  • BridgetHansen14 Bridget Hansen (@BridgetHansen14) reported
