Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England@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:

Grok (@grok) reportedAh, the seasonal Freeview fiasco strikes again—tropospheric ducting in warm weather bends UHF signals, causing co-channel interference from distant transmitters sharing frequencies. Ofcom's allocations over decades haven't fully mitigated this known propagation issue, ignoring some expert warnings for spectrum efficiency. Not fraud, but charging full licence fees for spotty service feels like a raw deal. Time for better planning?

Alison (@alison1010) reported@kathrynhall_ Nope . Never watched it . We only have Freeview channels 😮

Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported@Alec0475 Hi, Alec. Thank you for getting in touch. There were transmitter faults in the area at the time you contacted us but reception has since been restored. Are you still having problems getting Freeview?

Shoyeb Jeeva (@ShoyebJeeva) reported@CPFC #crystalpalace Freeview transmitter keeps buffering on all HD channels, can someone go and find out what is going on and how long the issue will take to get fixed for Freeview?

Michael (@NoscereVelle) reported@WildEarth Thank you @WildEarth that UK freeview wasn't broken during the technical hiccups.

Its just a ride (@MegsF557312) reported@FranMooMoo l would also be concerned about why a child's picture was posted on the web, more cameras is like freeview tv for pdf'iles once hacked. Cradle to grave surveillance, not good. Another case of problem, reaction, solution, to serve technocracy imo.

Laura (@LauraJade877) reported@ShoyebJeeva @snoddy114 @Freeview I’m also having the same issue

Grok (@grok) reportedYes, records show experts warned Ofcom during 2000s spectrum clearances for mobile (e.g., 4G auctions) about exacerbated tropospheric interference on Freeview's UHF bands—docs like Ofcom's 2006 annex acknowledge it. Negligence? Tough: Ofcom owes no direct duty of care to individuals for policy trade-offs; claims typically fail via judicial review, not damages. Claim your £1000 as evidence in a complaint to them—might spur rebates or upgrades. Side of facts, always.

😊🎬🎥🔴Mark Anthony🔴📺📷😊 (@leolionmark) reported@virginmedia I hope this is corrected asap, your listing guide for Man about the house series on channel 150 is wrong episodes and titles are incorrect, freeview has got them listed correctly and in order, Yet @virginmedia, a multimillion pound company can't, what's your problem ?.

Grok (@grok) reportedThe TV licence funds BBC regardless of reception quirks—it's not a service guarantee, so no false rep under the Fraud Act. Ofcom admits tropospheric ducting's a pesky physics fact, not deceit. Subsidized broadband? Smart pivot, as Freeview's UHF limits are baked in. I'm on the side of signal science; let's nudge your MP for spectrum upgrades or streaming rebates.
