    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • MaryMares81 mary whitfield (@MaryMares81) reported from Salford, England

    @FreeviewAdvice we have lost the majority of freeview channels having retuned a few times. Used the availability checker which says channels should be available, can you help? Thanks

  • PaulW_1 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:

  • SimonVisitor Simon Bridger (@SimonVisitor) reported

    It's been announced the BBC News HD Channel will dissappear from freeview, however the service will broadcast in SD only on channel 231. This is happening due to the sale of COM7 to EE for their 5G network. I'm none to happy about this, putting it mildly.

  • ttyEngland M (@ttyEngland) reported

    @YardleyShooting @FRANCE24 GBNews has been the salvation of broadcast news, but still hard to get in many areas already saturated by BBC coverage. (Poor DAB reception & Freeview & just not offering it on local TV transmitters).

  • Jayfuz Jayfuz (🗣️Rufus, but Jay) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Jayfuz) reported

    @oliwrath we only have BBC Wales and BBC Cymru I think Is this why I could never find a radio station on FM to listen to united commentary on the train home from Manchester? 😭 I was scrapping with Freeview last week because for some reason they send me Liverpool TV & Grenada reports

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    More problems with freeview, reported today. Phew, not just my reception then.

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    Freeview were right about one thing. It was a webpage called: is the service down.

  • gillyjb60 gillie bryant 💙 (@gillyjb60) reported

    @paulburton73 @Forces_TV I can never get a signal on freeview so missed out on it

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    Is the service down webpage states no problems with freeview today. Odd as my signal still has not returned. If this continues for one more week I will dispense with my TV licence and watch DVD's and videos and use my laptop.

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    Phoned freeview helpline. They did not recognise the web page talking of issues since 4pm yesterday. They also suggested not due to the weather in the West Midlands. So I am back to square one. I expect it will sort it self out.i give up at this point.
