    @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

  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

  • 1FatKev Kevin Killoran (@1FatKev) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia really poor show all TV channels drop out just as the snooker semifinal is about to finish #freeview why not.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia once again trying to contact virgin media is a no go a proper waste of time contract has run out trying to cancel they have put the money up to £60 a month for basically 2 freeview boxes I have cancelled my direct debit which is due on the 7 april what a scam😡

  • 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?

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

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

  • 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

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @LushJEL I'm not much of a TV person as I don't really like it, but I found channel 83 on Freeview TV which is NOW The 80s, so some nights I just have it on in the background, lots of crap but also some good old ones 👍

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

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

  • 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.

  • Tommy_M_E_J Tom Jordan (@Tommy_M_E_J) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @njvns That’s so shit. It’s literally called freeview and yet it’s not free

  • 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

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

    @nowtvhelp I still got my old with the built-in Freeview TV all that still work and I do I'll come back to you because I transferred my account to BT I Wish I Never now if that box doesn't work I have to buy my NOW TV stick from you?

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

    @bt_uk I got a problem it's not my fault and it's not BT issue I lost a lot of Freeview channels in my flat I went to no cancel and said you can have a dish because aerials are very bad in your area where you live we've had a lot of people coming to us about the same problem

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

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

  • nessymon Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England

    @MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Loundshay Jane Tatam (@Loundshay) reported

    @Andy_hhh @Serendipity_03_ @VNotmeat Actually RT was not shut down by the UK. It has been affected by a ban imposed by the European Union. Although the UK is no longer in the EU, the bloc applied sanctions to satellite companies in Luxembourg and France, which provided the RT feed to Sky, Freesat and Freeview.

  • BananaEzzy12 The Ice Cream Man (@BananaEzzy12) reported

    The thing is with being British and having freeview tv there’s not many ppl I can relate to in cartoons and ****

  • TBeaterson Thom Beaterson (@TBeaterson) reported

    @John_BHarvey Spender never seems to get the same repeat treatment that some other shows from that era get on freeview (or does it?) A shame - I imagine it still stands up.

  • johnsouthwales JohnWales (@johnsouthwales) reported

    Freeview channel 234 RT. This service is currently not available..Was going to have a look and see what George Galloway and co say about it

  • pipmadeley Pip (@pipmadeley) reported

    @cooraysmith Read a lot of people having the same issue. The Freeview website said we've recently had engineering works in the area, the signals were pretty solid before that.

  • ioloj Iolo Jones (@ioloj) reported

    @gaeilge2036 @carolecadwalla @BBC The EU closed down the EU controlled sat feed, so Sky, Virgin, Freeview et al can’t provide a service. If it was down to Boris & Dorries no doubt it would still be live, as it is over the internet. Also, I think that most Tories would argue that the BBC isn’t state controlled.

  • lee_alley Lee Alley (@lee_alley) reported

    I see RT's down on Freeview in the UK.

  • ShaneRosser20 Shane Rosser (@ShaneRosser20) reported

    I never watch the mainstream media news channels on virgin media or Freeview TV besides there are other channels that people can watch and I'm watching now 90s music channel on virgin media TV right now.

  • LostGlasgow Lost Glasgow (@LostGlasgow) reported

    Odd, channel hopping, and come to Freeview 56 - 5Select - and up pops Britain's Great Rivers: Then and Now - The Clyde. Waiting to see what I said a few years back, when I froze my bollocks off, being interviewed down opposite the Finnieston Crane. TV - oh, the glamour...

  • pandorasrockbox Miryam Pan D'ora Rae ~ PandorasRockBox (@pandorasrockbox) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice freeview Crystal palace not working? I have no signal at all. Don't watch much especially since RT NEWS gone but wanted to see what's on: NOW NO SIGNAL. BTW i am shocked freeview removed RT . I called ofcom & they said it was free view who removed it NOT ofcom
