  @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  Jennifer Thetford-Kay (@JenKteach) reported 2 minutes ago

  Terrestrial television, received through an aerial, often known as Freeview, is under serious threat of being scrapped. Within months the Government will decide whether to turn off terrestrial signals and rely solely on internet-based TV (IPTV) in the future. This would mean that every household would be forced to take out an expensive fixed broadband contract if they wished to continue watching their favourite TV programmes. Radio reception and signals for emergency services could also be put at risk. Millions of older and disabled people, and those on low and modest incomes, would lose their essential access to TV to keep them in touch with the world and to prevent isolation and loneliness. Lynette, aged 80, who lives in Kent, says: “Free Terrestrial TV is essential for me – whether it’s for entertainment, the news or even learning new things from magazine shows. I don’t want to be choosing apps and making new accounts, I don’t want a screen that pops up with the TV trying to work out what I want to watch. I’ve tried watching television programmes online with family members, and they stop part way through with a whirling circle and then an error message appears. I tried a streaming service and didn’t like it. It is time-consuming and irritating trying to work out where I want to be, to remember the sequence of clicks, with hieroglyphics instead of words. If I make a mistake I have to start again. I have more important things to remember than clogging up my memory with unnecessary information. With my TV in my kitchen, and the normal channels through an aerial, I can leave a channel on that I know I like. I’m worried that the government will decide to take that away from me and others, who either don’t like, can’t afford or can’t use online versions”. The BBC, ITV and Channel 4 are all working together to convince the Government to take the drastic step of an early transition to IPTV, without any genuine concern about the millions who would lose out from such a move. IPTV would mean the end of a near universal free to air service, currently reaching 98.5% of households, where national moments of celebration and crisis can be shared. Although the Government maintains that it has an open mind, the lobbying of the broadcasters is intense, and elements in the Government want to use an IPTV switchover as a battering ram in forcing the UK population to accept, and pay for, the digital revolution. A recent Government stakeholder consultation exercise to inform the Minister in making his decision was heavily biased in favour of a rushed move to all-IPTV. In contrast, the petitioners do not oppose IPTV in principle but would like to see the current hybrid system, where households can choose between the two systems, or continue with both as a safety net, be maintained for an extended period. This petition, published by Silver Voices with the support of the Digital Poverty Alliance and the Broadcast 2040+ Coalition, calls on the Government to decide in favour of the viewer and pledge to keep Freeview terrestrial TV until at least the mid- 2040s.

  @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.

  @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.

  @GBPolitcs Why is the BBC on Freeview?, it’s a free to watch service hence the name. But because the BBC use it they expect people to pay for a free service.

  @RichardWellings Replace the BBC with a subscription based streaming service - not dissimilar to IPlayer, and they can use their Freeview channels to promote and advertise the subscription service.

  @archivetvmus71 I adored The Rockford Files. Garner was superb. Can't understand why it never gets any repeats on any of the Freeview channels.
